Microsoft Overview Join  Microsoft Devices Operations (MDO) and help shape the physical products millions use every day. The Strategic Sourcing team in Redmond, WA sits at the intersection of design, engineering, manufacturing, and supplier strategy—turning bold ideas into scalable, high-quality hardware experiences delivered in our Surface & Xbox devices. We build resilient supply chains, unlock supplier innovation, and deliver technologies that define the look, feel, durability, and performance of our devices.

As a Senior Sourcing Engineer on the Display Sourcing team, you will drive sourcing strategy for displays and touchscreen technologies that bring our Surface products to life, influencing product design, supplier selection, cost, quality, and manufacturability from concept through launch. This is not a transactional procurement role—it is a cross-functional, technical, strategic role where you will partner with engineering, design, operations, finance, and suppliers to solve hard problems, make smart tradeoffs, and bring innovative hardware to market.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.

Responsibilities Develop sourcing strategy for critical touch & display technologies used across Surface — bringing market insight, supplier intelligence, cost modeling, and business judgment together to build a competitive supply base.

Own strategic supplier relationships for critical display components, including executive engagement, commercial strategy, negotiations, agreements, and long-term partnership development.

Unlock supplier innovation by developing supplier capabilities, creating roadmap visibility, and connecting emerging technologies to Microsoft hardware needs.

Build resilient supply chains that protect continuity of supply, improve geographic and supplier flexibility, and help Microsoft navigate product ramps, market shifts, and supply disruptions.

Secure technology and cost advantage by ensuring the right components, capacity, supplier readiness, and commercial structure are in place when Microsoft needs them.

Drive confident cost decisions by developing sharp cost projections, should-cost models, and fact-based negotiation positions that can stand up to scrutiny and competitive alternatives.

Find and capture cost opportunities by identifying component cost drivers, challenging assumptions, and partnering with suppliers and engineering to optimize cost without compromising quality or performance.

Deliver measurable business results across total cost, supply continuity, quality, compliance, and on-time execution—helping Microsoft bring great hardware products to market with confidence.
