Head of Semiconductor Manufacturing Planning and Fulfillment

The Google Custom Silicon Operations team is responsible for all external manufacturing engagement and supplier management for the foundry and outsource manufacturing (OSAT) partners for building custom silicon for Google consumer hardware products. This includes foundry/OSAT sourcing, supplier management, end-to-end planning and procurement, and execution of development and manufacturing operations, with our suppliers in partnership with Google Engineering. It includes strategy development and orchestration with key stakeholders to shape the supply ecosystem for better partnership, capacity flexibility, high quality, business continuity, and cost effectiveness. It also includes on time delivery of ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) and other companion chips.

The Head of Semiconductor Manufacturing Planning and Fulfillment leads end-to-end supply chain operations for custom silicon and companion chips within Google’s hardware ecosystem. This role is responsible for establishing execution frameworks for supply and demand planning, managing supplier relationships, and ensuring material readiness from NPI through mass production. Key priorities include optimizing inventory visibility, logistics, and financial reconciliation, while driving fulfillment execution (PO management, production control). Additionally, you will report supply risks to executive stakeholders and build high-performing teams, fostering a culture of accountability and effective cross-functional collaboration. The ideal applicant will possess deep expertise in supply chain planning, semiconductor sub-component manufacturing processes or manufacturing operations management, coupled with strong problem-solving skills, and a proven track record in managing complex supply chains in a changing environment.

Responsibilities

• Establish supply-demand execution frameworks and orchestration protocols for custom silicon, integrating signals from SOCs, memory, and manufacturing constraints to drive decision-making.
• Orchestrate material readiness across global suppliers and internal stakeholders for new product introduction (NPI) and mass production, providing scenario plans and informed recommendations to achieve product launch milestones.
• Optimize end-to-end inventory visibility and logistical flows from foundry to finished goods, partnering with Logistics, Finance, and Engineering to ensure regulatory compliance, complex yield reconciliation, and cycle-time efficiency.
• Manage end-to-end fulfillment and production control—including POs, payments, and hot lot tracking—while reporting supply risks through dashboards; maintain data integrity and a single source of truth for all deliverables.
• Cultivate a high-performing team by leading end-to-end talent management—from recruitment to mentorship—while fostering an accountable culture and resolving conflicts to ensure seamless supply operations.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 10 years of experience in program or project management.
• 10 years of experience in semiconductor planning and fulfillment, and experience with mobile SoC development flows and manufacturing processes for Foundry, Die Prep, Assembly, and Test.
• 7 years of experience in a leadership role.
• Experience developing and deploying supply/demand planning and fulfillment systems, processes, and execution logistics, and leading initiatives in organizational development and cross-functional collaboration.

Preferred qualifications:

• Deep knowledge of foundry and OSAT suppliers and ecosystem with a specific focus on high-volume Mobile SoCs or complex consumer product applications.
• In-depth familiarity with Mobile SoC development flows and manufacturing processes for Foundry, Die Prep, Assembly, and Test.
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills with the ability to bridge the gap between technical engineering teams (Silicon/Hardware) and business operations.
• Proven ability to unite teams toward common goals and resolve conflict in a matrixed global organization.
• Executive presence in managing suppliers, with excellent communication and presentation skills to key stakeholders and executive audience.
