Procurement & Inventory Coordination: Coordinate purchasing activities with manufacturing and engineering departments to acquire electronics and mechanical components.

Vendor Management: Primarily manage and maintain an approved vendors list (AVL), serving as the main supplier relationship point of contact.

Data & System Maintenance: Utilize ERP systems to manage transactional purchasing, BOMs (Bill of Materials), and material readiness. Use Excel for basic data extrapolation and cost analysis.

Sourcing & Value Engineering: Monitor the cost, schedule, and scope of assigned subcontracts to ensure high quality at the best value. Assist with alternative sourcing and vendor evaluation criteria when needed.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Interact frequently with internal engineering and manufacturing teams, as well as external peers, to ensure project alignment and smooth operations.

Qualifications
Experience: 2 to 5 years of related experience in electronic procurement or a manufacturing environment is highly preferred.

Technical Savvy: Comfort handling Bills of Materials (BOMs) and material readiness within the electronics or mechanical space.

System Skills: Experience with major ERP systems like SAP or Epicor is considered a strong asset. Proficiency in MS Excel for basic data manipulation.

Communication: Strong interpersonal skills to collaborate cross-functionally and manage supplier relationships effectively.
