Supplier Strategy & Selection: Work with management on the long-term global sourcing strategies and identify, evaluate, and select top-tier foundry and OSAT partners.
Capacity & Demand Planning: Negotiate and secure capacity & CT of wafer, assembly, and test services to meet product roadmaps and revenue goals.
Cost Optimization: Lead "should-cost" analysis, drive competitive RFQs (Request for Quotations), pricing benchmarking and negotiate pricing and contracts to achieve cost reduction targets.
Manufacturing Service Agreement (MSA): Participate in the drafting of MSA. Review the adequacy of MSA to ensure manufacturing delivery commitment and financial obligation by the suppliers. Enforce the T&C of MSA.
Others: Company’s advocate to escalate and resolve commercial & delivery issues. Participate in QBR with the suppliers and drive commercial improvements.
Cross-Functional Alignment: Work closely with engineering, supply chain, and business units to align sourcing with new product development (NPD).
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Science, Supply Chain Management, or Finance.
Experience: 5-10+ years of procurement or supply chain management experience specifically within the semiconductor, foundry, and/or OSAT industry.
Technical Knowledge: Understanding of wafer fabrication processes, advanced packaging (e.g., WLP, 2.5D/3D), and testing, or semiconductor planning/production control experience, an added advantage.
Core Skills: Exceptional commercial acumen, high-level contract negotiation abilities, data-driven analytical & reporting skills.
Language/Travel: Fluency in English and Mandarin (added advantage) to communicate with stakeholders from Mandarin speaking regions, with international travel capabilities.
This sourcing role focuses on selecting and managing foundry and OSAT partners for semiconductor manufacturing. The work spans capacity planning, commercial negotiations, supplier agreements, cost analysis, and coordination with engineering and supply chain teams.
Lumilens is a San Jose-based photonics company building optical interconnect infrastructure for large AI data centers. Its LumiCore platform combines in-house silicon photonics, mixed-signal ICs, electrical-optical interposers and optical systems to power pluggable transceivers, near-package optics and co-packaged optics. These products address scale-out networking between racks and scale-up connectivity between GPUs, where copper links face bandwidth and distance limits. Lumilens also develops proprietary manufacturing processes, robotics and automated testing for high-volume optical production. The company emerged from stealth in 2026 and is already shipping its first scale-out product into a hyperscaler's production AI data centers under a multi-billion-dollar customer agreement.
Lumilens offers candidates the opportunity to work on silicon photonics, mixed-signal ICs, optical systems, embedded software, robotics and high-volume manufacturing for AI infrastructure. The company has raised more than $900 million, reached a $5.51 billion valuation and is already shipping products into a hyperscaler's production data centers under a multi-billion-dollar agreement. Its careers material emphasizes significant technical ownership, hands-on collaboration and work across system boundaries. The company is rapidly expanding engineering and manufacturing teams across the US, India and Asia, creating scope to work on products moving from silicon design through qualification and large-scale production.
