Responsibilities
- Serve as the single point of contact for global supply planning and product availability for the products in their portfolio
- Engage in the monthly S&OP activities for assigned products, providing recommendations for finished goods, materials, and capacity plans informed by yield-adjusted output models and constraint analysis
- Engage in the weekly S&OE process for assigned products, providing information to cross-functional teams to support supply and demand planning objectives
- Develop weekly capacity/material constrained production plans (Build Plan/Master Production Schedule) to fulfill the requirements created in the Demand Plan. Formulate these as constrained optimization problems — defining objective functions (e.g., maximize fill rate, minimize total landed cost), decision variables (allocation quantities, line assignments, build sequences), and constraints (capacity limits, component lead times, MOQs, contractual commitments) — and leverage internal planning tools and solvers to arrive at optimized solutions
- Accountable for creating, communicating, and monitoring detailed requested ship plans at the contract manufacturing sites (forecast, commitments, build plans, PO creation)
- Understand multi-channel demand signals for the products in the assigned portfolios and provide actionable recommendations to respond to and adjust trends (e-commerce, retail, enterprise, non-revenue)
- Accountable for the identification and resolution of supply issues, including assisting in sourcing materials, communication, escalation, and coordination of resolution
- Develop and manage inbound priorities using constraint-based allocation logic to ensure critical path materials are sequenced for maximum production efficiency
- Incorporate component-level technical specifications — such as battery cycle life, degradation curves, and state-of-charge thresholds — into planning models to ensure finished goods inventory is built and sustained across the entire program lifetime while maintaining desired charging levels for a high-quality customer experience (CX)
- Assess and model yield rates for technically complex modules (e.g., optical waveguides, display stacks, battery cells) to derive accurate production output forecasts. Account for yield ramp curves during NPI, steady-state yield variability in mass production, and fallout rates at key process steps to ensure build plans reflect achievable output rather than theoretical capacity
- Partner with NPI Operations and factory teams to develop optimized capacity plans that balance production throughput requirements against overall CapEx investment, ensuring capital-efficient line configurations and equipment utilization across the manufacturing network
- Partner with Channel Operations, NPI Operations, Sales, and other cross-functional teams to plan and execute successful product launches — aligning supply readiness, channel fill requirements, regional allocation strategies, and go-to-market timelines
- Create and maintain inventory plans for finished goods across regional DCs considering operational and fulfillment service policies, financial targets, and cost-effective transportation considerations
- Partner with Contract Manufacturing Operations to ensure that site capacities are properly modeled and optimized across the network in meeting customer demand, incorporating line-level throughput constraints and changeover times into planning models
- Partner with Sourcing teams to develop sourcing strategies for technically complex modules — providing demand signals, and supply risk inputs that inform supplier qualification, dual-source decisions, and capacity reservation strategies
- Accountable for supply chain key performance indicators (KPIs) associated with the assigned product portfolio — including plan adherence, inventory turns, and fill rate
- Lead automation and development initiatives related to planning systems and tools — including solver integration, optimization model development, scenario simulation engines, and data pipeline enhancements that improve planning accuracy and decision speed
Minimum Qualifications
- 4+ years of experience in Supply Planning roles, preferably in Consumer Electronics, with a thorough understanding of key modules and components (e.g., battery systems, optical assemblies, display stacks) and their impact on planning strategies across the product lifecycle
- Experience leading or participating in S&OP and S&OE processes, including providing supply plan recommendations and constraint-based capacity inputs
- Prior experience in scenario modeling and constrained optimization — ability to build models with large data sets, define objective functions and constraints, and leverage optimization solvers to drive supply chain decisions
- Experience in NPI launch planning, including cross-functional coordination with Operations, Channel, and Sales teams to align supply readiness, channel fill strategies, and go-to-market timelines for successful product launches
- Proficient in ERP systems (specifically related to planning, order management, allocation, and fulfillment)
- Proficient in Excel and PowerPoint
- Experience retrieving insights and reports from data and analytics platforms (e.g., Tableau, Business Intelligence hubs)
- Strong communication and collaborative skills, with experience in presenting to and influencing management
- Experience driving decision-making through fact-based analysis and rationale
- Ability to prioritize and multi-task in a fast-paced environment with a strong sense of urgency, accuracy, and follow-through
- University BS in Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, or related field
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience planning and executing NPI product launches end-to-end, coordinating supply readiness across Operations, Channel, Sales, and cross-functional stakeholders
- 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
- University M.S. in Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, or a related field
- Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
- Certification in supply chain/materials management (e.g., APICS CSCP/CPIM)
- Experience with global manufacturing operations and contract manufacturer (CM) management, including capacity modeling, NPI ramp planning, and CapEx optimization across multi-site networks
- Hands-on experience developing optimization models, solver-based tools, scenario simulation engines, or automation solutions for supply chain planning systems
- 5+ years of experience in Supply Planning roles, preferably in Consumer Electronics with direct exposure to technically complex hardware products (e.g., VR/AR devices, wearables, display devices or similar multi-module assemblies)
- Experience working with advanced planning systems to generate constrained build plans that account for capacity, material availability, yield rates, ship modes, and component-level technical specifications (e.g., battery lifecycle constraints)
- Experience partnering with Sourcing teams on supply strategies for technically complex or constrained components
