Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Supply Chain Manager to lead sourcing strategy and end-to-end supply chain management for optical and photonic components — including lasers, photonic integrated circuits (PICs), photodetectors (PDs), fiber array units (FAUs), This role owns supplier identification, qualification, negotiation, and relationship management across a global supply base, while also ensuring supplier capacity, lead times, and allocations stay aligned with build schedules and ramp requirements. The ideal candidate combines strong sourcing/negotiation expertise with supply chain planning fluency and enough technical grounding in optics/photonics to evaluate supplier capability and de-risk single-source dependencies.

Key Responsibilities

Supply Chain Planning & Allocation

Translate plans and forecasts into supplier capacity requirements and allocation requests for sourced commodities.

Monitor supplier lead times, allocation cycles, and delivery commitments, and flag gaps against build schedules early.

Coordinate with planning and production teams to align supplier capacity and delivery commitments with prototype, pilot, and production build schedules.

Develop and manage supply plans, balancing demand forecasts, inventory targets, and manufacturing capabilities across global partners

Establish planning processes, metrics, and governance to enable consistent, data-driven decision making

Lead continuous improvement initiatives to enhance supply chain agility, efficiency, a responsiveness in a fast-scale environment

Supplier Identification & Qualification

Lead supplier qualification activities in partnership with engineering and quality teams (technical audits, sample evaluation, process capability review).

Assess supplier financial health, manufacturing capacity, and technology roadmap alignment.

Support commercial negotiations for pricing, capacity commitments, and supply agreements with optics/photonics suppliers

Partner with engineering and product teams to translate technology roadmaps into sourcing plans, well ahead of production needs.

Own cost-reduction roadmaps for key commodities, tracking savings against targets.

Supply Risk Management

Maintain visibility of long-lead and critical-path optical components across the supply base.

Proactively identify and mitigate supply risks: allocation constraints, single-source exposure, geopolitical/export-control exposure, and capacity shortfalls.

Build contingency and dual-source plans for critical components identified as at-risk.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner cross-functionally with engineering, operations, and program management to translate product requirements into scalable supply chain strategies

Work closely with engineering on component specifications, alternate part qualification, and second-source enablement.

Support contract manufacturing (CM) partners with supplier introductions and component allocation, where components are consigned or CM-managed.

Analytics & Reporting

Track supplier performance: on-time delivery, quality (PPM/yield), cost trends, and capacity utilization.

Maintain a sourcing and supply roadmap and risk dashboard for optics/photonics commodities, reporting regularly to supply chain and engineering leadership.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Materials Science, Supply Chain, or related field

5+ years of sourcing/procurement and supply chain experience

Proven track record negotiating supply agreements and managing supplier relationships across Asia and other global regions.

Excellent analytical and cross-functional stakeholder management skills.
