Supply Chain Manager (PCBA), Seoul, Korea

About the role

Tesla's AI Hardware Purchasing team is seeking a highly motivated and experienced PCBA Supply Chain Manager (SCM) based in Korea to support the full lifecycle supply chain for our most critical AI compute and hardware platforms. This role sits at the intersection of hardware engineering, manufacturing operations, and vendor management — responsible for ensuring material availability, production readiness, and supply continuity across Tesla's AI and robotics product lines.

What you'll do

• Own and drive material CTB readiness for all assigned PCBA programs, ensuring all components are committed and available ahead of build events (NPI, pilot, ramp, and mass production)
• Develop and maintain CTB dashboards and trackers, providing real-time visibility to program teams, engineering, and manufacturing on material risk and readiness status
• Lead weekly CTB reviews with cross-functional stakeholders including Program Management, Hardware Engineering, and EMS/ODM manufacturing partners
• Identify, escalate, and resolve material shortages, long lead-time components, and allocation risks that could impact build schedules
• Partner with EMS/CM and ODM partners to align on build plans, kitting schedules, and buffer strategies to protect production continuity
• Drive excess and obsolescence (E&O) mitigation strategies in coordination with engineering change management processes
• Lead qualification, onboarding, and development of PCBA EMS/CM vendors and Data Center vendors supporting Tesla's AI hardware and robotics programs
• Conduct manufacturing capability assessments and factory audits at EMS/CM and ODM facilities in the broader Asia-Pacific region
• Develop and execute vendor improvement plans, driving corrective actions, process upgrades, and sustainable performance improvements
• Own vendor scorecards and KPI tracking (quality, delivery, cost, responsiveness) and lead regular business reviews (QBRs)
• Collaborate with Hardware Engineering and Quality teams on DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and DFS (Design for Supply) reviews
• Build and maintain strategic vendor relationships with key PCBA EMS/CM and ODM partners in Korea
• Negotiate manufacturing service agreements, pricing structures, capacity commitments, and NRE terms with EMS/CM and ODM vendors
• Develop and manage production build plans aligned with program milestones, demand signals, and manufacturing capacity for NPI through mass production phases
• Drive supply-demand balancing across multiple concurrent AI hardware programs, prioritizing build allocation during constrained supply environments

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Engineering, Business, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in supply chain, procurement, or operations roles within the electronics, PCBA manufacturing, or data center hardware industry
• Deep understanding of PCBA manufacturing processes and EMS/CM operations, including SMT assembly, system integration, test, and fulfillment
• Experience working with Data Center ODM vendors (e.g., server/rack-level system integrators) on hardware qualification, capacity planning, and production execution
• Proven experience managing material CTB processes in a fast-paced NPI or high-volume hardware manufacturing environment
• Strong background in vendor development, including factory audits, capability assessments, scorecards, and corrective action management
• Hands-on experience with production planning tools (SAP, Oracle, or equivalent MRP/ERP systems)
• Excellent analytical skills with proficiency in Excel, SQL, or data visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI)
• Business-level Korean and English proficiency required; ability to communicate effectively with global Tesla teams
• Strong cross-functional communication and stakeholder management skills
• Ability to thrive in a high-velocity, ambiguous environment with competing priorities and aggressive timelines
