Responsibilities & Expectations :

The Buyer & Quality Control Specialist plays a critical role in supporting an electronics repair operation by owning all purchasing activities and ensuring quality standards across incoming materials, repaired units, and warranty returns.

  • Develop and maintain demand forecasts based on repair volumes and failure trends.
  • Maintain organized, ESD-safe inventory rooms and storage areas.
  • Control surplus, slow-moving, and obsolete stock, including inventory held in external storage.
  • Perform regular cycle counts, stock checks, and inventory reconciliations.
  • Proactively minimize repair downtime caused by part shortages, long lead-time items, or inventory inaccuracies.

Quality Control & Warranty Support :

  • Conduct quality audits on repaired units to verify workmanship, functionality, and compliance with internal standards.
  • Support incoming inspection of electronic components and assemblies.
  • Perform First Article Inspections (FAI) for new, alternate, or revised parts.
  • Review and manage PPAP-style supplier approval documentation where applicable.
  • Ensure parts meet electrical, mechanical, and environmental requirements before release for repair use.
  • Support failure analysis and root cause investigations for repeat or critical defects.
  • Lead deep-dive analysis of warranty claims to identify trends and systemic issues.
  • Prepare quality, failure, and warranty reports for internal review and customer communication.
  • Interface with customers on quality findings, corrective actions, and repair reliability.
  • Work with suppliers and internal teams to implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
  • Qualifications and Competencies :

  • Experience in electronic component purchasing and indirect procurement.
  • Strong negotiation skills across pricing, terms, and supply agreements.
  • Understanding of electronics repair environments and quality expectations.
  • Experience with First Article Inspection and supplier approval processes.
  • Ability to interpret datasheets, schematics, BOMs, and test results.
  • Strong inventory control and reconciliation skills.
  • High attention to detail with disciplined documentation practices.
  • Proficient with ERP systems, inventory tools, and Microsoft Excel.
  • Exposure to PPAP, supplier quality management, or structured CAPA processes preferred.
  • Experience analyzing warranty, failure, or cost trends in a repair or manufacturing environment preferred.
  • You’ll thrive at IPS if you :

  • Lead with integrity and prioritize safety. You demonstrate high standards and commit to a safe, ethical workplace.
  • Value teamwork and accountability . You work well with others, take responsibility, serve others, and deliver on your commitments.
