• Tactical Escalation & Crisis Management: Lead and participate in daily or weekly operational escalation forums to aggressively triage supply disruptions, resolve critical component shortages, and extinguish production-line blockers as they arise.
• Engineering Collaboration: Partner with Engineering teams early in the development cycle to influence design specifications based on supply chain intelligence, availability, and lifecycle health.
• Manufacturing & CTB Support: Partner closely with PCBA Contract Manufacturers (CMs) to resolve component shortages and ensure Clear-to-Build (CTB) milestones are consistently met.
• Strategy: Develop and execute long-term strategies for semiconductor components, focusing on cost reduction and supply chain resilience.
• Contract Negotiations: Draft, negotiate, and execute commercial agreements covering pricing, lead times, capacity commitments, warranties, and payment terms.
• Market Intelligence & Trend Forecasting: Monitor global semiconductor market dynamics, fab capacity constraints, lead-time trends, geopolitical impacts, and technological shifts to proactively identify supply risks and strategic cost-saving opportunities.
• Supplier Performance: Own end-to-end supplier relationship management, tracking key metrics across quality, delivery, cost, and innovation. Serve as the primary escalation point for commodity-related issues.
