Responsibilities

  • Partner deeply with responsible engineers, silicon architects, and hardware teams to co-define commodity strategy, multi-year technology roadmaps, and approved vendor lists for GPUs and AI accelerators, ensuring supply plans anticipate next-generation silicon, packaging, and interconnect roadmaps 12–24 months ahead
  • Own global sourcing end-to-end, including aggressive supplier qualification, dual/multi-sourcing strategies, and performance management to deliver unprecedented on-time delivery and lead-time compression while supporting SpaceX's record-breaking cluster build cadence
  • Stay at the forefront of industry trends in AI silicon, advanced packaging, high-bandwidth memory, and accelerator architectures, then translate these into actionable strategies that keep SpaceX at the bleeding edge of compute performance and efficiency from total cost of ownership and maximize the tokenomics
  • Negotiate transformative commercial agreements that include not only pricing and volume, co-development commitments, early access to pre-production silicon, priority allocation during industry shortages, and long-term capacity reservations
  • Deploy predictive analytics, AI-driven demand forecasting, and real-time supply chain visibility tools to anticipate and mitigate risks (geopolitical, capacity, yield, wafer starts, or technology transition) before they impact build schedules
  • Act as a force multiplier across the organization by mentoring cross-functional teams on supply chain best practices and fostering a culture of ownership, speed, and technical depth

  • Proven track record managing sourcing for leading-edge silicon or accelerator technologies in hyperscale environments
  • Previous experience at hyperscalers, semiconductor companies, AI infrastructure firms, or Tier-1 foundry/OSAT partners
  • Demonstrated success delivering results in ambiguous, high-velocity environments with extremely aggressive timelines and massive scale
  • Strong negotiation, analytical, project management, and cross-functional collaboration skills
  • Familiarity with commodity management, roadmap planning, vendor development, and approved vendor list processes
