Supply Chain Program Manager - AI Infrastructure

About the Team

OpenAI’s Hardware organization develops silicon and system-level solutions designed for the unique demands of advanced AI workloads. The team is responsible for building the next generation of AI-native silicon while working closely with software and research partners to co-design hardware tightly integrated with AI models. In addition to delivering production-grade silicon for OpenAI’s supercomputing infrastructure, the team also creates custom design tools and methodologies that accelerate innovation and enable hardware optimized specifically for AI.

About the Role

As a Supply Chain Program Manager, you will own material readiness and supply chain execution for critical hardware programs spanning custom silicon, systems, memory, storage, networking, and rack infrastructure.

You will work cross-functionally with Engineering, Strategic Sourcing, Manufacturing Operations, Finance, Planning, Quality, and external suppliers to develop and execute scalable supply strategies that support aggressive product development and deployment timelines.

This role requires deep understanding of hardware supply chains, material planning, NPI execution, supplier management, and operational scaling in constrained and rapidly evolving environments.

In this role you will:

- Material Readiness & Supply Planning - Own end-to-end material readiness across NPI and production phases, including building the necessary framework and processes for enablement.

- Drive supply planning and execution for long lead-time and constrained commodities including ASICs, HBM, DDR, SSDs, networking, optics, power, thermal, and mechanicals.

- Build and manage material readiness plans aligned to proto/pre-EVT, EVT, DVT, PVT, and mass production schedules.

- Monitor supply health, lead times, inventory positions, allocation risk, and capacity constraints.

- Drive shortage management, allocation mitigation, and recovery planning.

- Coordinate supply commits, forecast alignment, a...
