Electronics Commodity Manager – Passive Components Department Supply Chain / Strategic Sourcing / Procurement Reports To Director of Supply Chain / Global Commodity Leader (Electronics) Location Flexible (site-based, hybrid, or remote; with periodic travel to suppliers and manufacturing sites) Position Summary The Electronics Commodity Manager (Passive Components) owns the global/category strategy, sourcing, supplier performance, and cost roadmap for passive electronic components, including (but not limited to) MLCCs, resistors, inductors, ferrites, capacitors (electrolytic/film/ceramic), crystals/oscillators, transformers (where applicable), connectors (optional scope), fuses, and thermistors/NTCs/PTCs. This role partners closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Planning, and Finance to ensure uninterrupted supply, competitive total cost, robust quality, and strong lifecycle and risk management across the passive supply base. The ideal candidate combines deep market knowledge of passive components, strong commercial negotiation skills, and the ability to drive cross-functional alignment on specifications, alternatives, AVL/AML strategy, and value engineering. Key Responsibilities Category Strategy & Roadmap • Develop and execute a multi-year category strategy for passive components, aligned to product roadmap, cost targets, and risk posture. • Build and maintain category intelligence on capacity trends, lead times, allocation risk, technology transitions, and supplier regional strategies. • Define preferred supplier strategy (global vs. regional), dual/multi-sourcing plans, and standardization opportunities across product lines. Strategic Sourcing & Commercial Leadership • Lead RFI/RFQ/RFP processes, supplier selection, and contract negotiations (pricing, lead times, MOQ/MPQ, NCNR terms, warranties, and liability). • Deliver measurable improvements in PPV, TCO, cash (inventory), and supply assurance through negotiated agreements, VMI/consignment, and optimized commercial terms. • Establish and manage LTAs (Long-Term Agreements) and periodic pricing reviews tied to market indices and commodity movement where applicable. Supplier Management & Performance • Own supplier scorecards and performance reviews covering OTD, quality (PPM), responsiveness, cost, and corrective actions. • Partner with Quality and Engineering to drive 8D/CAPA closure, process controls, and continuous improvement at key suppliers. • Lead supplier risk management: financial health, geopolitical exposure, single points of failure, logistics lanes, and business continuity plans. Engineering Collaboration / Technical Alignment • Partner with Engineering to drive component standardization, approved alternates, footprint compatibility, and design-to-availability principles. • Manage AVL/AML governance for passive components; ensure timely qualification and documentation updates (e.g., PCN, PPAP/FAI where required). • Support NPI by aligning sourcing decisions with performance requirements, compliance needs, and manufacturing readiness. Lifecycle & Change Management • Proactively manage obsolescence (EOL), PCNs, material substitutions, and compliance changes. • Coordinate last-time buys, bridge buys, redesign decisions, and alternate qualifications to avoid production disruption. Forecast, Inventory & Allocation Management • Work with Planning to ensure supplier capacity alignment to forecast, including demand spikes and constrained markets. • Execute allocation strategies, buffer policies, and inventory risk mitigation for long-lead or constrained passive components. Compliance & Governance • Ensure compliance with internal procurement policies and external regulations: RoHS/REACH, conflict minerals, supplier ethics, and trade compliance. • Maintain accurate contracts, supplier records, and sourcing documentation for audit readiness. Cost & Value Engineering (VE) • Drive VA/VE and should-cost efforts across passives (tolerance/voltage derating, packaging optimization, standard values, alternate materials). • Identify opportunities to reduce cost through spec rationalization, supplier consolidation, and packaging/logistics improvements. Scope (Typical) • Spend: Category spend commensurate with business scale (e.g., $5M–$50M+) • Supplier Base: Global manufacturers, authorized distributors, and regional partners • Cross-Functional Partners: Engineering, Quality, Operations, Planning, Finance, NPI, Regulatory/Compliance Required Qualifications • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Engineering (Electrical/Electronics), Business, or related field (or equivalent experience). • Minimum 7 years of procurement/commodity management experience in electronics manufacturing; 2+ years with passive components strongly preferred. • Proven expertise in RFQ execution, negotiations, supplier management, and contract development. • Demonstrated ability to manage shortage/allocation environments and deliver supply continuity. • Strong analytical skills: cost modeling, market analysis, and KPI-driven management. • Proficiency with ERP/MRP systems (SAP/Oracle/etc.) and sourcing tools; advanced Excel skills. Preferred Qualifications • Experience working with global passive manufacturers and distribution partners (e.g., direct + franchise channels). • Familiarity with qualification processes and documentation (FAI, PPAP-like processes, PCN handling). • Knowledge of electronics reliability, derating principles, and key passive parameters (ESR, ripple, tempco, dielectric, tolerance, aging). • Six Sigma/Lean exposure; project management certification a plus. • Experience with commodity risk frameworks and structured supplier segmentation (strategic vs. transactional). Core Competencies • Market & technical acumen (passives supply base, constraints, and specs) • Negotiation & influencing across internal stakeholders and suppliers • Data-driven decision making and strong business case development • Risk management mindset (dual sourcing, lifecycle, compliance) • Executive communication and stakeholder management • Operational rigor: follow-through, documentation, governance Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) • Cost reduction / PPV / TCO improvements (quarterly & annual) • Supplier OTD, lead time adherence, and allocation performance • Quality performance (PPM, escapes, CAPA closure time) • Percentage of parts dual-sourced / alternate qualified (risk reduction) • NPI sourcing readiness and timeline adherence • Inventory health: turns, excess/obsolete exposure, NCNR risk Working Conditions / Travel • Travel typically 10–25% (supplier visits, audits, factory alignment, quarterly business reviews). • Occasional calls across time zones with global suppliers. On-site, hybrid, or remote options will be considered. Our good faith estimate of the salary range for this role is $114,000 to $153,000.
