- Maintain ERP/MRP data accuracy including pricing, lead times, supplier records, order status, sourcing information, and procurement parameters.
- Support request for quotation (RFQ) activities and supplier quote analysis to assist Global Supply Managers (GSMs) with sourcing decisions and cost reduction initiatives.
- Drive tactical cost savings through supplier engagement, quote comparisons, pricing analysis, and identification of commercial opportunities.
- Coordinate material readiness for prototype, engineering validation, and production builds.
- Partner with Planning and Manufacturing teams to resolve shortages and material availability issues.
- Track long-lead materials and work closely with suppliers to ensure supply continuity and schedule alignment.
- Support supplier onboarding activities and ensure suppliers meet procurement process requirements.
- Resolve invoice discrepancies, shipment issues, receiving concerns, and supplier-related execution challenges.
- Provide timely updates to cross-functional teams regarding supplier commitments, shortages, material availability, and delivery risks.
- Support new product introduction (NPI) activities through proactive procurement planning and supplier coordination.

## About You

- Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or practical equivalent experience.
- 4+ years of purchasing experience in hardware, manufacturing, robotics, automotive, aerospace, or similar environments.
- Experience purchasing custom printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), cable harnesses, sensors, connectors, or other electronic components and assemblies strongly preferred.
- Experience working with electronics manufacturing services (EMS) providers and contract manufacturers preferred.
- Strong understanding of procurement execution, supplier delivery management, and material planning processes.
