About the role
- This is a generalist's role across the CM space: you may go deep in one area, but you understand the entire HPC supply chain - from SMT through L11 rack integration - well enough to make smart trade-offs and get the most out of the dominant players.
- Negotiate the MSAs, MPAs, NDAs, and SOWs that govern the CM relationship and protect DensityAI commercially
- Pick the right procurement model per program - consignment, directed buy/sell, or turnkey - balancing cost, control, and risk
Responsibilities
- Own the commercial relationship with CMs/ODMs - strategy, negotiation, cost, capacity, and supply continuity
- Partner across the full NPI lifecycle (EVT/DVT/PVT) to keep builds on schedule, and run supply fundamentals - Clear-to-Build readiness, ABC shortage reports, and BOM/materials risk
- Own procure-to-pay (PO creation, change management, corrective action) with auditable rigor
- Manage CM cost and commercial performance (labor, markup, NRE, tooling, yield/scrap, logistics) to protect margin - and navigate disruption with calm and a plan
Requirements
- Proven MSA/MPA/NDA/SOW negotiation with CMs/ODMs and a clear grasp of CM commercial models
- Procure-to-pay proficiency and fluency with ERP/MRP/MES/PO systems
- comfort with ambiguity
- breadth across all is required.
- Work authorization is required at start; we provide immigration support to secure or transfer status.
Nice to have
- Command of supply-chain fundamentals - Clear-to-Build, ABC shortage reports, materials risk and corrective action - plus the procurement actions required at each EVT/DVT/PVT milestone
- Took complex electromechanical or data-center hardware from NPI to high-volume production with a CM/ODM (preferred)
- Familiarity with liquid-cooled / high-density compute or data-center infrastructure (preferred)
- Stood up a new CM relationship or transferred a program between manufacturers (preferred)
- Built or improved CTB / shortage-management processes (not just operated within them)
- business-level Mandarin a plus given the CM landscape (preferred)
