As Etched scales global deployments of our transformer inference systems, we are seeking an experienced Global Supply Manager to own sourcing and supplier strategy for printed circuit boards (PCBs) and related fabrication and assembly services. You will be responsible for building and managing Etched’s global supply base for complex, high-performance PCBs — including high-layer-count, high-speed, and advanced materials boards — ensuring we can scale production rapidly, cost-effectively, and with high quality. This is a strategic and highly cross-functional role, working closely with hardware engineering, manufacturing operations, and program management.
Job Responsibility:
Develop and execute global sourcing strategies for PCBs, including bare board fabrication, advanced substrates, and PCB assembly partners
Build and maintain strong relationships with PCB fabs and EMS partners across regions to ensure quality, yield, capacity, and delivery performance
Negotiate commercial and contractual terms covering pricing, capacity reservations, tooling, and NREs
Partner closely with Hardware Engineering to support DFM/DFT, stack-up selection, materials choices, and vendor qualification
Drive cost modeling, benchmarking, and should-cost analysis for complex multilayer boards and advanced processes
Identify and mitigate supply risks related to yield, materials availability, lead times, and regional concentration
Align sourcing plans with program schedules, NPI milestones, and ramp timelines
Present sourcing strategies, tradeoffs, and risk assessments to executive leadership
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, or related field
7+ years of experience sourcing PCBs or EMS for high-performance compute, networking, or hardware systems
Strong understanding of PCB fabrication processes, materials (FR-4, low-loss laminates), stack-ups, and assembly constraints
Demonstrated success managing complex supplier relationships and high-value negotiations
Ability to assess PCB BOMs, fabrication quotes, yield drivers, and cost structures
Experience working cross-functionally with electrical engineering and manufacturing teams
Proven ability to operate autonomously in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
Experience managing suppliers across Asia, North America, and Europe
Nice to have:
High-layer-count, high-speed, or HDI PCB designs
Early supplier engagement during architecture and schematic phases
Yield improvement and failure analysis with fabs and EMS partners
Scaling PCB supply in high-growth hardware programs
