About the role

The Tool Hookup Material Procurement Strategist is a highly specialized technical supply chain role within the semiconductor manufacturing industry.
This position bridges the gap between fab construction engineering, global tool installation schedules, and complex industrial supply chains.
The strategist analyzes engineering layouts, projects long-term material consumption, and secures early-stage capital investments.

Manage global procurement activities for specialized process mechanical, exhaust infrastructure, and heavy electrical components.
Analyze complex construction drawings and equipment layout matrices to build predictive consumption models for piping, ductwork, and cabling.
Design and implement risk-hedging strategies to counter market volatility in raw metals (e.g., copper, nickel, stainless steel) and specialized plastics.
Build strategic partnerships with tier-1 component manufacturers to guarantee production allocation for UHP valves and custom switchgear.
Collaborate with quality teams to ensure all procured process mechanical components meet stringent semiconductor cleanliness and safety standards.

Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field.
Minimum of 5-7 years of strategic procurement experience specifically within semiconductor fab construction, managing high-purity process piping, heavy industrial electrical packages, or specialized HVAC/exhaust systems.
Demonstrated experience with advanced resource planning systems and digital modeling software viewing tools.
Expert proficiency in advanced data analytics tools for forecasting bulk material usage like linear footage of cable trays or process tubing.
Proven ability to execute forward-buying strategies, blanket purchase agreements, and vendor-managed inventory (VMI) for volatile commodities like copper and stainless steel.
Ability to independently interpret complex process piping schematics, electrical single-lines, and mechanical exhaust layout drawings.
Applicants must be authorized to access such information or eligible for government authorization.

Track procurement spend against capital expenditure limits for utility systems to identify cost-saving opportunities.

Position Summary
The primary function is to oversee the end-to-end procurement of critical utility hookup materials across three main disciplines: process mechanical (e.g., ultra-high purity valves, orbital-welded piping, specialized gas panels), exhaust (e.g., corrosive-resistant ductwork, scrubbed exhaust dampers, lateral lines), and electrical systems (e.g., cleanroom-rated busways, heavy-gauge copper cabling, specialized power distribution panels).
This role is directly responsible for safeguarding project timelines against severe market volatility, global supply shortages, and unpredictable disruptions like Force Majeure events.
Role and Responsibilities
At Samsung Austin Semiconductor, base pay is just one part of our total compensation package.
