Strategic Sourcing Manager, PCB/FPCA Responsibilities:

• Develop and execute long-term PCB and FPCA sourcing strategies aligned to Meta's hardware product roadmap across AR/VR and wearable device programs
• Lead supplier identification, qualification, and selection for rigid PCB, flexible PCB, and rigid-flex assemblies used in consumer electronics and wearable form factors
• Drive cross-functional alignment across hardware engineering, supply chain, quality, and manufacturing operations to support new product introduction milestones for PCB and FPCA components
• Manage strategic supplier relationships, including technology roadmap reviews, capacity planning, and long-term supply agreements for PCB and FPCA partners
• Identify and mitigate supply chain risks for PCB and FPCA commodities, developing contingency strategies to ensure program continuity across multiple product lines
• Benchmark PCB and FPCA manufacturing technologies, materials, and supplier capabilities to inform sourcing decisions and influence internal design-for-manufacturability standards
• Lead commercial negotiations including pricing, tooling, NRE, and contractual terms with PCB and FPCA suppliers to optimize total cost of ownership
• Collaborate with hardware engineering teams to influence PCB stack-up design, material selection, and FPCA routing decisions that improve manufacturability and supply chain resilience
• Contribute to commodity strategy and organizational sourcing goals by sharing market intelligence, supplier performance data, and technology insights across the broader hardware sourcing team
• Coach peers and cross-functional partners on PCB and FPCA sourcing best practices, process optimization, and supplier engagement approaches

Minimum Qualifications:

• 8+ years of experience in strategic sourcing, supply chain management, or commodity management with a focus on PCB, FPCA, or related electronic interconnect technologies
• Experience leading cross-functional teams through new product introduction and product development processes for consumer electronics or wearable hardware programs
• Experience developing and executing supplier strategies including technology evaluation, qualification, commercial negotiation, and long-term relationship management for PCB or FPCA suppliers
• Experience identifying supply chain risks and developing mitigation strategies across complex, multi-program hardware portfolios
• Experience communicating sourcing strategy, supplier performance, and program status to technical and business stakeholders at multiple levels of an organization

Preferred Qualifications:

• Background in hardware engineering or manufacturing process engineering that supports design-for-manufacturability collaboration with PCB and FPCA suppliers
• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
• Familiarity with PCB manufacturing processes such as HDI stack-up design, surface finish selection, controlled impedance, and FPCA laminate materials relevant to AR/VR or wearable device constraints
• Experience sourcing PCB and FPCA components for miniaturized or wearable consumer electronics, including rigid-flex and high-density interconnect designs
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
• Experience managing suppliers with manufacturing operations in Asia, including supplier development and capacity ramp activities
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
