Requirements
  • 4+ years of experience in Supply Planning roles, preferably in Consumer Electronics, with a thorough understanding of key modules and components (e.g., battery systems, optical assemblies, display stacks) and their impact on planning strategies across the product lifecycle
  • Experience leading or participating in S&OP and S&OE processes, including providing supply plan recommendations and constraint-based capacity inputs
  • Prior experience in scenario modeling and constrained optimization — ability to build models with large data sets, define objective functions and constraints, and leverage optimization solvers to drive supply chain decisions
  • Experience in NPI launch planning, including cross-functional coordination with Operations, Channel, and Sales teams to align supply readiness, channel fill strategies, and go-to-market timelines for successful product launches
  • Proficient in ERP systems (specifically related to planning, order management, allocation, and fulfillment)
  • Proficient in Excel and PowerPoint
  • Experience retrieving insights and reports from data and analytics platforms (e.g., Tableau, Business Intelligence hubs)
  • Strong communication and collaborative skills, with experience in presenting to and influencing management
  • Experience driving decision-making through fact-based analysis and rationale

Job Responsibility
Job Responsibility
  • Serve as the single point of contact for global supply planning and product availability for the products in their portfolio
  • Engage in the monthly S&OP activities for assigned products, providing recommendations for finished goods, materials, and capacity plans informed by yield-adjusted output models and constraint analysis
  • Engage in the weekly S&OE process for assigned products, providing information to cross-functional teams to support supply and demand planning objectives
  • Develop weekly capacity/material constrained production plans (Build Plan/Master Production Schedule) to fulfill the requirements created in the Demand Plan. Formulate these as constrained optimization problems — defining objective functions (e.g., maximize fill rate, minimize total landed cost), decision variables (allocation quantities, line assignments, build sequences), and constraints (capacity limits, component lead times, MOQs, contractual commitments) — and leverage internal planning tools and solvers to arrive at optimized solutions
  • Accountable for creating, communicating, and monitoring detailed requested ship plans at the contract manufacturing sites (forecast, commitments, build plans, PO creation)
  • Understand multi-channel demand signals for the products in the assigned portfolios and provide actionable recommendations to respond to and adjust trends (e-commerce, retail, enterprise, non-revenue)
  • Accountable for the identification and resolution of supply issues, including assisting in sourcing materials, communication, escalation, and coordination of resolution
  • Develop and manage inbound priorities using constraint-based allocation logic to ensure critical path materials are sequenced for maximum production efficiency
  • Incorporate component-level technical specifications — such as battery cycle life, degradation curves, and state-of-charge thresholds — into planning models to ensure finished goods inventory is built and sustained across the entire program lifetime while maintaining desired charging levels for a high-quality customer experience (CX)
  • Assess and model yield rates for technically complex modules (e.g., optical waveguides, display stacks, battery cells) to derive accurate production output forecasts
