Sourcing Manager, PCB & Board Components

The Sourcing Manager for PCB & Board Components will act as the primary commercial contact for printed circuit board (PCB) and strategic board-level component sourcing within Meta's infrastructure supply base, while developing new sources of supply as required. This is primarily a commercial sourcing role that requires technical domain knowledge in PCB technology, including PCB raw materials (laminates, copper foil, prepreg, specialty chemicals), manufacturing processes, and global supply chains.

Sourcing activities include identification of product and service availability and options, developing and leading negotiation and sourcing strategies, partnering with Meta engineering and ODM teams to influence component selection and board design decisions, and driving strategic sourcing decisions on a global basis. The Sourcing Manager will also own strategic board-level component sourcing as a core responsibility, covering categories such as power delivery, capacitors, inductors/magnetics, clock generation & distribution, and programmable logic.

The role will drive strategic vendor engagements across these categories to ensure supply continuity, cost optimization, and technology alignment with Meta's infrastructure roadmap. Working closely with Engineering Teams and ODM partners, the Sourcing Manager leads the commercial engagement, prototype sourcing and development in support of new product development and introduction, and deployment of selected solutions and technologies. They own supplier management with particular emphasis in areas such as sourcing for advanced PCB technologies (dual-laminate constructions, HDI, low-loss dielectrics, embedded passives/actives, new material development, and advanced materials to support high-speed, high-bandwidth AI applications), contracts, negotiation, joint development models, IP and licensing, and the development of global commodity and supply chain strategies that enable Meta to meet time-to-development/time-to-production goals while managing the total landed cost.
