Responsibilities

Create sourcing strategies for assigned electronics categories (PCB, PCBA/contract manufacturing, electronic components, and instrumentation) to reduce risk and meet targets including payment terms, cash, and cost savings
Develop and execute global supply agreements and sourcing strategy for an assigned Falcon / Dragon commodity; ensure partners are tooled, capacitated, and ready for prototype, ramp, and rate production
Own continuity of supply from concept through end of life, including coverage, need dates, dual-source, sub-tier risk, and escalation when delivery or quality is at risk
Lead RFI, RFP, and RFQ processes with engineering, supplier development, quality, and planning; evaluate bids, present the sourcing recommendation, and close award
Negotiate price, payment terms, capacity, lead time, and contract vehicles; place and manage purchase orders that hold cost targets without breaking delivery or quality
Build should-cost and competitive-quote discipline; present value propositions to SpaceX management on contract award, cost reviews, cost-reduction strategy, and critical supply issues
Develop commodity expertise — market trends, process capability, cost drivers, and supplier technical limits — and use it to inform design-for-manufacturability and source selection, not only commercial terms
Build a commodity and technology roadmap aligned to future Falcon / Dragon rate and NPI across Special Programs; identify suppliers whose process portfolio matches that roadmap
Define and report KPIs (coverage, on-time delivery, price, capacity, and supply risk) and drive internal and external process improvements from the data
Serve as the liaison between supply chain and engineering for supplier down-select on new product introduction while holding or improving cost targets
Develop and maintain strong supplier partnerships; secure the right resources on SpaceX programs and hold vendors to delivery, quality, and commercial commitments
Issue and manage purchase orders, resolve invoices, and close the loop on quality and cost so tactical execution does not leak while strategy is being built
