The Role

We are building a new purchasing team in Chennai, India, and are looking for a Buyer or Senior Buyer for electronic components.

- Review designs and BOMs to find alternative components (pin-to-pin or functional equivalents) with better lead times or cost
- Build strong relationships with major component manufacturers and global distributors
- Run RFIs, RFPs and RFQs, and negotiate Master Purchase Agreements that protect our agility
- Drive cost reduction and total-cost-of-ownership models without compromising technical integrity
- Support Engineering early in design to ensure design-for-availability

What You Will Bring

- 3+ years of sourcing electronic components and assemblies, ideally in automotive or two-wheelers (7+ for Senior Buyer)
- An electronics engineering or technical degree, or strong electronics manufacturing experience
- Knowledge of global semiconductor players (TI, ST, NXP, Analog Devices, Rohm, Infineon, Murata and others) and distribution
- Ability to read a schematic or BOM and spot diversification or optimisation opportunities
- Strong negotiation skills, from NRE costs to volume rebates and buffer stock agreements
- Fluent English is a must
