  • Institute checks and balances to optimize schedule flexibility while minimizing excess inventory exposure (E&O risk management, hubbing strategy, VMI/consignment where applicable)
  • Partner with CMs/ODMs/EMS and module integrators to resolve part shortages, quality issues, or yield excursions that impact production schedules
  • drive rapid containment and recovery plans
  • Own ramp readiness including risk buys, capacity bring-up, line qualification, and supply assurance plans to support production plan and forecasts for designated suppliers
  • Lead supplier development agreements to onboard new module integrators and key optical component suppliers
  • ensure qualification plans (FAI/PPAP-like readiness, GR&R, reliability) are agreed and executed
  • Close Statements of Work (SOW) for new projects covering tooling, automation, EVT/DVT/PVT builds, characterization, reliability testing, and failure analysis support
  • Influence supplier technology roadmaps and create internal disruptive value-add to ensure Meta's system architecture and commercial requirements are met (size, weight, power, performance, reliability, and cost)
  • Establish and manage strategic supplier relationships at the executive level
  • lead QBRs, escalation paths, and long-term partnership planning

Minimum Qualifications:
  • BS degree in Engineering, Supply Chain Management, or relevant field
  • 7+ years of work experience in sourcing or related fields associated with camera/depth modules, optics components, consumer electronics modules, or adjacent electromechanical supply chains

  • Experience driving cross-functional execution with Engineering, Quality, Ops/Manufacturing, and Program Management across development builds and ramp
  • Material management and CTB (Clear to Build) proficiency
  • ability to manage lead times, allocation risk, and build readiness
  • Experience communicating with and influencing all levels of management

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Advanced engineering degree and/or MBA
  • Experience with high volume consumer electronics products and global manufacturing ecosystems
  • Optical understanding is preferred (imaging or depth fundamentals, key optical performance drivers), but not required
  • Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
  • 7+ years of sourcing experience managing global suppliers across module integrators and critical component ecosystems
  • Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
  • Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
  • Experience sourcing and managing suppliers for optical components (lenses, coatings, filters, actuators, VCSEL/laser, receivers) and/or camera/depth module integrators
