Global Supply Manager - PCBA

As a Global Supply Manager – PCBA , you will lead the global sourcing and commodity strategy for printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) and closely related electronic assemblies powering Agility Robotics' humanoid platforms. You will own supplier selection, cost management, and supplier performance for this commodity, ensuring supply assurance, cost competitiveness, and scalability across development and production phases.

This is a senior, individually-owned commodity role requiring deep knowledge of electronics manufacturing, cost structures, and supplier ecosystems. You will partner closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Product teams to influence design decisions, drive cost efficiencies, and secure a resilient, high-performance PCBA supply chain.

• Develop and execute global sourcing strategies for PCBAs and related electronic assemblies (sensors, power electronics, control systems).
• Collaborate early with Engineering to influence component selection, ensure DFM/DFT compliance, and align cost, performance, and manufacturability.
• Lead supplier identification, selection, and qualification across global regions, evaluating technical capability, quality systems, and scalability.
• Build and maintain strong supplier relationships, driving continuous improvement in cost, quality, and delivery.
• Champion cost modeling and clean-sheet analysis to establish cost transparency and drive competitive pricing.
• Negotiate supplier agreements covering pricing, terms, quality standards, and delivery performance.
• Drive cost-reduction and value-engineering initiatives through design optimization and sourcing leverage.
• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) by ensuring PCBAs are sourced and ready in line with program schedules and targets.
• Develop and maintain supply risk assessments and business continuity strategies for critical PCBA suppliers.
• Collaborate with CMs, JDMs, and ODMs to ensure components are sourced on time, on cost, and on spec per the Supplier Plan of Record (SPOR).
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Electronics Engineering — required, not substitutable with a general business or supply chain degree.
• 8+ years of procurement or supply-chain experience, with at least 5+ years focused specifically on PCBA or electronics commodity management.
• Strong working knowledge of electronics manufacturing processes (SMT, wave solder, potting, coating, testing) and the ability to read schematics, BOMs, and DFM/DFT requirements independently.
