On-siteManagement$88k–$198k/yrFull-time

What You'll Do

  • Define and execute a comprehensive global procurement strategy across all memory component families
  • Build and maintain deep, executive-level relationships with tier-one semiconductor and memory suppliers to secure priority allocation and favorable terms
  • Forecast and secure multi-year supply commitments, navigating technology node transitions, capacity constraints, and market cyclicality
  • Collaborate directly with hardware architecture, firmware, and platform teams to ensure sourcing decisions are informed by — and feed back into — product and technology roadmaps
  • Lead all commercial activities, including contract structuring, pricing models, volume commitments, and joint development agreements
  • Identify and implement total cost of ownership improvements without compromising component reliability, performance, or availability
  • Develop robust contingency frameworks, including qualified secondary sources, regional supply diversification, and real-time market intelligence for proactive risk management
  • Align cross-functional stakeholders — spanning vehicle programs, Dojo, Autopilot hardware, energy products, and corporate IT — around unified sourcing priorities and trade-off decisions

What You'll Bring

  • 5+ years of experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, or supply chain management within the semiconductor or memory industry
  • Deep technical understanding of memory technologies — NAND, DRAM, SSD, and HDD — including generation roadmaps, die architectures, and manufacturing processes
  • Proven track record of leading complex, high-value commercial negotiations with major suppliers at the executive level
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to model pricing trends, forecast demand, and evaluate total cost of ownership across component lifecycles
  • Experience navigating constrained and cyclical markets, with demonstrated success in securing supply during periods of allocation
  • Exceptional cross-functional influence — comfortable driving alignment across engineering, product, finance, and executive stakeholders without direct authority
  • Bias toward action — you thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and prefer to move quickly with imperfect information rather than wait for certainty
  • Degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Business, or a related field
