Come build community, explore your passions and do your best work at Microsoft. This opportunity will allow you to bring your aspirations, talent, potential - and excitement for the journey ahead. 

This opportunity will allow you to source, select, and qualify the suppliers and components used in Microsoft technologies and products. Sourcing Engineers are responsible for sourcing strategies that ensure the right suppliers are engaged with the technology, cost, and service Microsoft needs to bring our hardware to market. You will evaluate supplier capabilities and capacity to deliver reliable components and materials at a competitive cost. You will also work closely with suppliers to improve processes, production technologies, and materials as needed to meet Microsoft’s specifications. You investigate alternate component technologies or suppliers for improved quality, security, and reliability, as well as reduced cost, and more sustainable and responsible sourcing practices. Sourcing Engineers engage with engineering design teams early in the design process to influence decision-making related to materials, components, or services and optimize costs.  ​ 

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.
