Work closely with suppliers to understand their capabilities, explore joint improvement opportunities, and align on strategic goals’
- Cost Reduction Initiatives: Identify and lead cost reduction initiatives within the NPI supply chain process. Collaborate with suppliers and internal teams to explore opportunities for value engineering, design optimization, and process improvements that drive cost efficiencies without compromising quality or performance.
- Risk Management: Identify potential risks and develop mitigation plans to minimize supply chain disruptions while considering cost implications. Proactively monitor and manage supply chain risks, including demand fluctuations, component shortages, and logistics challenges, while maintaining strong supplier relationships.
- Continuous Improvement: Drive continuous improvement initiatives within the NPI supply chain process, with a specific focus on cost reduction and supplier relationship building. Leverage industry best practices and innovative solutions to optimize processes, reduce costs, and enhance overall supply chain efficiency.
- Metrics and Reporting: Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure and monitor the effectiveness of the NPI supply chain process, including cost reduction targets and supplier relationship metrics. Prepare regular reports and presentations to communicate supply chain performance, cost savings achieved, supplier performance, and present recommendations to senior management.

Qualifications:

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Supply Chain Management or a related field.
- Minimum of 8 to 10 years of experience in supply chain management, preferably in the electronics or optical components industry.
- Strong knowledge of optical components, their manufacturing processes, and associated supply chain challenges is preferred.
- Proven track record of successfully managing NPI supply chain activities, from concept to commercialization, with a focus on cost reduction and supplier relationship building.
- Experience in supplier selection, negotiation, and relationship management, specifically emphasizing cost optimization and partnership development.
- Excellent project management skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a data-driven approach to decision-making and cost analysis.
