About this role
Overview
Keysight is at the forefront of technology innovation, delivering breakthroughs and trusted insights in electronic design, simulation, prototyping, test, manufacturing, and optimization. Our ~16,800 employees create world-class solutions in communications, 5G, automotive, energy, quantum, aerospace, defense, and semiconductor markets for customers in over 100 countries. Learn more about what we do. Keysight Technologies is seeking an experienced Supply Chain Analyst to join our team managing supply chain functions for our world-class technology centers. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in supply chain management, with a focus on business process optimization, program management, and project management. This role will involve overseeing and improving supply chain processes, Leading cross-functional programs, and ensuring the successful implementation of supply chain initiatives to support business growth and efficiency. Additionally, the role will include developing reports and dashboards, and some coding in SQL or Python to manage information access and analysis. Our award-winning culture embraces a bold vision of where technology can take us and a passion for tackling challenging problems with industry-first solutions. We believe that when people feel a sense of belonging, they can be more creative, innovative, and thrive at all points in their careers.
Responsibilities
Keysight is seeking a Supply Chain Analyst to support the R&D, New Product Introduction (NPI), and production operations of our internal technology centers. This role may support either the High Frequency Technology Center (HFTC), which delivers semiconductor and RF/microwave device technology, or the Precision Machining Technology Center (PMTC), which delivers mesoscale precision machining and specialty fabrication across multiple sites. Depth in one domain with a willingness to learn the other is expected. Both portfolios operate in a high-mix, low-volume ecosystem characterized by high demand variability, long and constrained supply lines, and shared capacity competing across research, prototype, qualification, and production builds. Both also sit upstream in a deeply vertically integrated supply chain, where variability at the technology center propagates directly into downstream product availability. The successful candidate will bring analytical rigor and project leadership to material availability, capacity planning, supplier performance, and process improvement — building repeatable, automated capability rather than one-off analysis.
Key Responsibilities
Own material availability and supply readiness for R&D, NPI, and production demand streams, including long-lead item identification, risk buys, and escalation of constraints that threaten program schedules. Build and maintain analytical models and automated reporting for demand, inventory, capacity, cost, and supplier performance — replacing manual spreadsheets with sustainable, self-service tools. Partner with R&D, process and manufacturing engineering, quality, finance, and procurement to align material and capacity plans to program milestones and release schedules. Lead and coordinate supply chain projects and continuous improvement initiatives from problem definition through implementation, measurement, and sustaining handoff. Develop prioritization and allocation frameworks for constrained materials, equipment, and supplier capacity shared across competing R&D, NPI, and production demand. Manage supplier relationships and performance for specialty materials and qualified outside processing, including scorecards, delivery and quality metrics, cost analysis, and negotiation support. Assess and mitigate supply risk — sole-source exposure, obsolescence and end-of-life, geopolitical and trade disruption, and capacity concentration — with documented contingency plans. Support prototype-to-production transitions, including qualification builds,
