Global Commodity Manager, Electronics & Control Systems
ConfidentialThis position operates as the single point of accountability for its commodities across all ONE programs, with full delegated authority to make sourcing, commercial and expediting decisions within established procurement limits. The GCM is expected to operate autonomously, shift priorities on notice and find the path to clear builds when material is at risk. This is a senior individual contributor role with no direct reports, built for an experienced defense or aerospace supply chain professional who wants direct, hands-on ownership of a commodity portfolio and its results, without the overhead of managing a team. The GCM ensures every action in the portfolio complies with applicable FAR, DFARS, prime contract flow-downs, counterfeit-parts prevention, domestic sourcing, cybersecurity and export-control requirements, and partners closely with Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing, Program Management, Finance, Contracts and Export Compliance. ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Commodity Strategy & Strategic Sourcing Develop and execute multi-year commodity strategies for PCBAs, harnesses, interconnect and power components aligned to program requirements, production rates, cost targets and engineering roadmaps. Identify, evaluate, qualify and develop EMS, PCB fabrication, harness and component suppliers capable of meeting ONE's technical, quality, security, compliance, cost and delivery requirements. Establish dual and multi-source strategies for critical and single-source electronics; lead supplier transitions, consolidations and exits. Define consigned versus turnkey material strategy with EMS partners and provide make/buy and design-for-supply input to Engineering early in the design cycle. Government Procurement & Compliance Identify applicable prime contract clauses and incorporate mandatory FAR/DFARS flow-downs into every purchase order and subcontract in the portfolio. Enforce counterfeit electronic part prevention and detection (DFARS 252.246-7007/-7008), including sourcing from original component manufacturers and authorized distribution and applying SAE AS5553/AS6081 where required. Ensure compliance with domestic sourcing, Buy American, FEOC/country-of-origin and NDAA telecommunications and semiconductor sourcing restrictions applicable to electronic components. Verify supplier CMMC/NIST SP 800-171 posture before releasing CUI or export-controlled design data; partner with Export Compliance on ITAR/EAR. Execute DPAS-rated orders and maintain complete, audit-ready procurement files supporting competition, source selection, sole-source justification and price reasonableness. Cost, Pricing & Proposal Support Develop RFQs, statements of work and technical data packages; conduct should-cost, cost-breakdown and total-cost-of-ownership analysis for PCBA, harness and component pricing. Negotiate pricing, payment, warranty, IP/data rights, quality, delivery and liability terms; establish LTAs, MTAs and capacity agreements where they create value. Obtain compliant supplier quotations and develop sourcing assumptions for government RFIs, RFPs and contract modifications. Monitor purchase price variance and material cost performance against program budgets; drive cost-reduction and value-engineering initiatives. Program Execution & Material Readiness Own material availability for the portfolio from requisition to dock, aligned to program milestones, prototype builds, testing, qualification and production schedules. Maintain visibility to long-lead and critical-path electronics; identify shortages early and execute documented recovery plans. Manage component allocation, lead-time volatility and end-of-life/DMSMS risk, including lifecycle screening of PCBA BOMs and last-time-buy decisions. Report procurement status, material readiness, supplier risk and required executive actions in program reviews. Supplier Performance, Quality & NPI Establish supplier scorecards and lead quarterly business reviews with strategic and critical supp…
