As a Global Supply Manager (GSM) for EE & Semiconductors, you are a technical and commercial leader responsible for the foundational supply chain of our humanoid robot. You will develop and execute a comprehensive global sourcing strategy for essential components and materials, managing the lifecycle from pre-concept through to the handoff to sustaining operations. Your mission is to align business needs with supplier capabilities while navigating the complex, high-stakes landscape of semiconductor technologies.
Job Responsibility:
Develop and execute a comprehensive sourcing strategy for essential components and materials, ensuring long-term scalability for our humanoid robot
Create and manage a semiconductor technology roadmap that aligns our product architecture with future industry trends and supplier innovations
Own the Approved Vendor List (AVL) and lead the full supplier lifecycle—from identification and qualification to performance evaluation
Negotiate high-stakes, long-term deals and strategic supply agreements that secure the high-priority materials required to build and scale our humanoid platform
Collaborate closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, and NPI teams to ensure sourcing activities remain perfectly synchronized with product development and production timelines
Stay ahead of industry trends, pricing dynamics, lead-time fluctuations, and technical advancements within the global silicon and electronics markets
Lead rigorous BOM scrubs and analysis to identify end-of-life (EOL) risks, single-source vulnerabilities, and technical bottlenecks before design freeze
Partner with Architecture and Engineering to influence design decisions for optimal cost, performance, and supply-chain resilience
Own the "Should-Cost" modeling process to drive aggressive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) reductions through negotiation and value engineering
Identify vulnerabilities in the EE supply chain (e.g., geopolitical shifts, capacity constraints) and implement robust hedging and business continuity strategies
Negotiate Master Purchase Agreements (MPAs), quality agreements, and Statements of Work (SOWs) that secure competitive pricing and favorable terms
Implement and maintain robust supplier performance metrics and lead periodic business reviews to ensure strategic objectives are met
Periodically travel to supplier sites to drive initiatives such as cost reductions, relationship building, and supplier development
