Lead global sourcing & supplier management for robotics & automation systems.
-Category strategy: Create a three-year roadmap for our robotics program in partnership with product and engineering -Program execution: Lock supply plans for factory ramps and field deployments. Track critical hardware with visible promise dates and recovery plans -Sourcing and negotiation: Run competitive events and direct negotiations for MSAs, pricing, capacity, and SLAs. Drive TCO, warranty, and service response terms -Compliance: Ensure UL, CE, ISO 10218, NFPA 79, and safety standards are met. Coordinate export controls and customs where applicable -Technical alignment: Partner with Engineering on specifications, BoMs, FAT/SAT plans, and design to cost. Validate cycle time, takt, and uptime requirements in quotes -Contracts and risk: Draft and close MSAs, SOWs, and frame agreements with clear IP, spares, service, FAT, SAT, and acceptance criteria. Build dual-source and continuity plans -Supplier development: Qualify and score suppliers on cost, OTIF, quality, MTBF, and service. Lead corrective actions and capacity ramps -Cost and should-cost: Build models for robots, motion systems, and custom automation. Benchmark make-versus-buy and integrator markup structures -Data and ERP: Maintain clean item, vendor, pricing, and contract records in ERP. Publish weekly KPI packs and QBR materials
