Air marshal Jobs in Fremont, CA

Supply Chain Manager

We are building Terafab a vertically integrated semiconductor factory at an unprecedented scale. We are seeking a Supply Chain Manager to own global sourcing for the logistics that move semiconductor manufacturing equipment. You will build and execute the category strategy, run bid events, and manage the commercial relationships with specialized forwarders, project-cargo providers, and air-charter organizers that move high-value process tools and precision equipment into Tesla semiconductor manufacturing sites, including the Terafab program in Texas. This is a high-ownership role for someone who can take a category from strategy through contracting and day-to-day performance management, and who is comfortable presenting recommendations to a large group of stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Category Ownership & Program Support: Develop and execute the global category strategy for semiconductor manufacturing equipment logistics, including should-cost models, mode strategy (air charter, dedicated freighter, scheduled air, ocean/ground), and supplier segmentation; partner with Terafab, Facilities, and Logistics Operations on tool moves into Austin/Giga Texas and planned fab sites, setting delivery windows, chain-of-custody, and site-access expectations
• Sourcing & Bid Management: Run RFIs, RFPs, and RFQs for specialized air freight, air charter, hypercare, continuous monitoring, air-ride trucking, project logistics engineering, and technology-capable customs brokerage; award based on total cost, aircraft fit, transit reliability, damage-free delivery, and demonstrated semiconductor capital-equipment experience
• Special Handling, Monitoring & Trade Controls: Define commercial requirements for shock, vibration, tilt, temperature, and humidity control; require continuous real-time monitoring with exception alerts and post-move data packages; coordinate with Trade & Customs on export-license workflows, temporary import/export, ATA Carnet, and EOR/IOR for dual-use equipment
• Contracting & Commercial Terms: Negotiate NDAs, SOWs, Master Transportation Agreements, charter frameworks, high-value cargo and insurance schedules, and liability terms appropriate to multi-million-dollar tools, including SLA credits, claims windows, security requirements, and capacity commitments for planned and emergency uplift
• Cost Optimization & Risk Mitigation: Deliver measurable annual savings through bid rotations, right-mode decisions, accessorial control, and lane design; strengthen resiliency through dual-sourced forwarders, backup Texas gateways, and pre-agreed recovery playbooks for aircraft AOG, customs holds, and site-not-ready events
• Supplier Performance Management: Own the KPI framework (on-time uplift/delivery, damage-free receipt, install-window hit rate, monitoring-data timeliness, claims ratio, billing accuracy); lead quarterly business reviews, drive escalations and corrective action plans using sensor data as evidence
• Cross-Functional Leadership & Market Expertise: Partner with Terafab, Semiconductor Supply, Manufacturing Engineering, Finance, Trade & Customs, and Logistics Operations; represent the category in tool-install wave planning and new-site readiness; track freighter/charter capacity, aircraft types, fuel surcharges, and gateway congestion to inform bid timing and contract terms; coach analysts and cross-functional partners as category SME

Requirements

• Education & Experience: Bachelor's in Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, International Business, or related field. 710 years in transportation/logistics procurement with hands-on ownership of project cargo, capital equipment, or semiconductor/high-tech manufacturing-equipment moves at an OEM, fab, advanced-manufacturing shipper, or specialized forwarder; demonstrated end-to-end category ownership from RFI/RFP through contract and supplier performance general freight experience alone is not sufficient
• Leadership: Ability to influence cross-functional partners without direct authority, manage competing priorities, and present clear recommendations to stakeholders; experience mentoring analysts or junior buyers is a plus
• Semiconductor Logistics & Pricing Expertise: Strong working knowledge of semiconductor capital-equipment logistics including scheduled freighter, air charter, air-ride and climate-controlled trucking, aircraft type/payload/contour, fuel, security, engineering, and hypercare pricing mechanics
• Special Handling & Monitoring: Practical understanding of process tool requirements (shock, vibration, tilt, temperature, humidity, orientation, OEM packaging integrity, cleanroom-dock delivery); working knowledge of continuous monitoring systems, exception alerting, and post-move data packages used for acceptance and claims
• Trade Compliance & Carrier Relationships: Working knowledge of export licensing, dual-use controls, temporary import/export, ATA Carnet, EOR/IOR, and customs brokerage commercials; existing relationships across semiconductor-equipment forwarders, project-cargo providers, charter desks, and technology customs brokers preferred
• Analytics, Process & Negotiation: Advanced Excel and comfort with TMS, shipment-audit data, and analytics tools; solid command of sourcing processes (RFIs, RFPs, RFQs, MSAs, supplier scorecards); strong negotiation and communication skills with the ability to operate independently in fast-moving environments where a missed or damaged tool can slip an install wave
• Additional: Fluent in English. Willingness to travel ~2540% to Texas fab sites and semiconductor equipment OEM/gateway locations; passion for Tesla's mission
