Job Description

Meta is seeking a Director of Compute Manufacturing and Strategic Sourcing to lead the strategy, execution, and organizational development of our compute hardware manufacturing and supply chain functions. This role sits at the intersection of large-scale data center infrastructure and advanced manufacturing operations, driving the end-to-end readiness of compute systems — including servers, accelerators, and custom silicon-based hardware — from design through high-volume production. You will shape sourcing strategy for critical compute components, build deep partnerships with contract manufacturers and component suppliers, and ensure Meta's infrastructure hardware scales reliably to meet the demands of AI, machine learning, and global platform workloads.

Responsibilities

Define and execute the manufacturing and strategic sourcing roadmap for Meta's compute and network hardware portfolio, including servers, accelerators, and custom silicon-integrated systems

• Lead supplier selection, qualification, and development for compute components and contract manufacturing partners, ensuring capacity, quality, and cost targets are met at scale
• Serve as an executive point of contact and relationship owner for key ODM & Supplier partners
• Drive design for manufacturability initiatives in partnership with hardware engineering teams to ensure compute platforms are optimized for high-volume production from early design stages
• Establish and govern manufacturing readiness processes across new product introduction phases, from prototype builds through mass production ramp up
• Develop and manage strategic sourcing frameworks for critical compute supply chains, including commodity management, dual-sourcing strategies, and long-term supply agreements
• Lead cross-functional programs spanning hardware engineering, supply chain, quality, and operations to align manufacturing execution with infrastructure deployment timelines
• Define and track key manufacturing and sourcing metrics, including yield, cost per unit, supplier on-time delivery, and supply risk exposure
• Build and scale a globally distributed team of sourcing managers, and program leads, providing technical direction and career development
• Partner with silicon and hardware architecture teams to influence component and platform decisions based on supply availability, manufacturability, and total cost of ownership
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives across the computer supply base, applying lean manufacturing principles and data-driven analysis to improve efficiency and resilience

Qualifications

12+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, strategic sourcing, or supply chain management within the compute hardware, data center infrastructure, or consumer electronics industry

• 8+ years of people management experience leading multi-disciplinary teams including engineering, sourcing, and program management functions
• Experience managing end-to-end new product introduction for complex compute hardware systems such as servers, accelerators, storage platforms, or custom silicon-integrated products
• Experience developing and executing strategic sourcing programs for compute components including processors, memory, power delivery systems, or printed circuit board assemblies
• Demonstrated track record of building and scaling supplier partnerships and contract manufacturing relationships for high-volume hardware production Experience with custom silicon or ASIC-integrated compute platform manufacturing, including packaging technologies such as advanced SiP or chiplet-based architectures
• Experience applying lean manufacturing or Six Sigma methodologies to drive yield improvement and cost reduction across a global supply base
• Familiarity with data center hardware qualification processes, reliability testing methodologies, and infrastructure deployment operations
• Background in AI or machine learning infrastructure hardware, including GPU or custom accelerator supply chains
