Senior Manager, Technical Sourcing (Substrates)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes:
- Job Overview (we can call About the role)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Required Skills And Experience (list)
- Nice To Have Skills And Experience (list)
- Additional Information (contains: no relocation package, Salary Range, statement about total reward, Accommodations, Hybrid Working, Equal Opportunities). However we must remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. Also remove "Accommodations at Arm" maybe not boilerplate? It's about accommodations for recruitment process; could be considered relevant but maybe not required. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The "Equal Opportunities at Arm" is definitely boilerplate; remove. "Accommodations at Arm" maybe not boilerplate but it's about recruitment accommodation; could be kept? It's not a standard section like Benefits/Pay/Schedule. The instructions say we can include sections only if posting has real specific content. The "Additional Information" includes salary range (specific), no relocation package, hybrid working details. So we could create a section for Pay (since salary range is given) and maybe Benefits? Not given. Schedule? Not given. Hybrid working details could be under Schedule? Not exactly. Could create a section "Additional Information" but not in allowed headings list. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could map:
- About the role: Job Overview.
- Responsibilities: as given.
- Requirements: Required Skills And Experience (maybe also include Nice To Have as Skills?).
- Qualifications: maybe education? But we can combine.
- Skills: Nice To Have.
- Pay: Salary Range.
- Benefits: Not given, so omit.
- Schedule: Hybrid Working details maybe? Could treat as Schedule? But schedule usually refers to work schedule (full-time, part-time, shift). Hybrid working is about location flexibility. Might be considered Schedule? Not sure. Safer to omit Schedule if not explicit. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state salary range, so Pay section is okay. It does not explicitly state schedule (like full-time, hours). Hybrid working details are not schedule; they'd be more about work arrangement. Could we put under About the role? Probably not. Could create a separate section "Additional Information" but not allowed heading. Could we incorporate hybrid working details into a paragraph under About the role? Might be okay but risk of adding unrelated content. However we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include hybrid working details somewhere. Could we put them under a
after the Pay section without a heading? The instruction says use
for section headings (list). It doesn't forbid having paragraphs without headings. So we can output sections with headings for those we have, and then any leftover substantive info can be in
elements without a heading. That seems acceptable.
Thus structure:

Then maybe a paragraph for "No relocation package is available for this role." and hybrid working details.
We must not include EEO boilerplate. Also remove duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info: Job Overview text, Responsibilities bullet points, Required Skills bullet points, Nice To Have bullet points, Additional Information: no relocation package, salary range, statement about total reward, Accommodations, Hybrid Working details, maybe also note about total reward package being shared during recruitment. Also note about accommodations at Arm (adjustment request). Also note about hybrid working approach. Also note about equal opportunities (remove). Also note about "Please note that no relocation package is available for this role." Keep that.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact sentences? Probably okay to keep them as is.
Let's extract the exact text.
Job Overview:
"We are looking for a Senior Technical Sourcing Manager – IC Substrates to lead sourcing strategy for advanced semiconductor substrates supporting current and next-generation products. You will work at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, and business strategy, partnering with Packaging Engineering, Silicon Engineering, Operations, Quality, Finance, and Supply Chain. This role owns strategic relationships with leading IC substrate suppliers and is responsible for ensuring the technology, capacity, cost, and supply assurance required to support the product roadmap."
Responsibilities list (each starts with a verb). Let's copy them exactly:
- Own global sourcing strategy for advanced IC substrates, from early product development through high-volume manufacturing.
- Partner with Engineering to align substrate technologies and supplier capabilities with future product and packaging roadmaps.
- Evaluate and influence supplier roadmaps across advanced substrate architectures, fine line/space, high-layer-count, large body sizes, and heterogeneous integration.
- Lead supplier selection and develop and maintain executive-level relationships with strategic substrate partners.
- Negotiate pricing, NRE, capacity, technology development, long-term supply agreements, and strategic capital commitments.
- Develop should-cost and market analyses to drive competitive cost structures and sourcing decisions.
- Secure manufacturing capacity ahead of major product ramps and mitigate supplier, materials, and geographic supply risks.
- Develop alternative suppliers to improve competition, technology access, and supply resilience.
- Monitor substrate market dynamics, technology trends, supplier investments, and industry capacity.
- Present sourcing strategies, supplier recommendations, and key risks to senior leadership.
Required Skills And Experience list (each starts with bullet). Let's copy:
- 10+ years of experience in semiconductors, IC substrates, semiconductor packaging, technical sourcing, or a related field.
- Strong technical understanding of FC-BGA substrates and advanced semiconductor packaging.
- Experience working with substrate manufacturing processes, materials, technology roadmaps, capacity, yield, and cost drivers.
- Demonstrated success leading complex negotiations and strategic relationships with global technology suppliers.
- Experience supporting semiconductor products from development through qualification and volume production.

- "Salary Range $161,500-$218,500 per year"
- "We value people as individuals and our dedication is to reward people competitively and equitably for the work they do and the skills and experience they bring to Arm."
- "Salary is only one component of Arm's offering. The total reward package will be shared with candidates during the recruitment and selection process."
- "Accommodations at Arm At Arm, we want to build extraordinary teams. If you need an adjustment or an accommodation during the recruitment process, please email"
Actually the text: "Accommodations at Arm At Arm, we want to build extraordinary teams. If you need an adjustment or an accommodation during the recruitment process, please email". It seems cut off; but we keep as is.
- "Hybrid Working at Arm Arm’s approach to hybrid working is designed to create a working environment that supports both high performance and personal wellbeing. We believe in bringing people together face to face to enable us to work at pace, whilst recognizing the value of flexibility. Within that framework, we empower groups/teams to determine their own hybrid working patterns, depending on the work and the team’s needs. Details of what this means for each role will be shared upon application. In some cases, the flexibility we can offer is limited by local legal, regulatory, tax, or other considerations, and where this is the case, we will collaborate with you to find the best solution. Please talk to us to find out more about what this could look like for you."
- "Equal Opportunities at Arm Arm is an equal opportunity employer, committed to providing an environment of mutual respect where equal opportunities are available to all applicants and colleagues. We are a diverse organization of dedicated and innovative individuals, and don’t discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or status as a protected veteran."
We must remove the EEO boilerplate (the last paragraph). Also remove any duplicated lines? Not seeing duplicates.
We should also remove "Please note that no relocation package is available for this role."? It's substantive, keep.
We should also remove "Accommodations at Arm" maybe not boilerplate but it's about accommodation request; keep.
We should also remove "Hybrid Working at Arm" maybe keep as it's substantive.
We should also remove "We value people as individuals..." etc. Keep.
Now we need to output HTML.
We'll have:
