Assistant Manager - Purchase

Qualification: B.E. in Electronics Engineering

Key Responsibilities

• Handle procurement of PCB, PCBA/EMS and electronic components based on BOM, Gerber/data sheets and technical specifications.

• Understand PCB manufacturing process, including PCB fabrication, SMT, THT, assembly, testing and final PCBA requirements.

• Analyze BOM and identify critical, long-lead-time, single-source and obsolete components.

• Source and technically evaluate ICs, MCU/Controller, RAM, PMIC, LDO, capacitors, resistors, diodes, connectors, sensors, displays, relays, MOSFETs and other active/passive components.

• Evaluate part number, manufacturer, datasheet/specification, package, voltage/current rating, tolerance, temperature range, lifecycle and technical compatibility before proposing alternatives.

• Develop alternate components and alternate suppliers without compromising form-fit-function and product quality.

• Manage Indian and import procurement for electronic components and PCB/PCBA.

• Identify and develop Indian suppliers, EMS partners, PCB manufacturers and authorized distributors.

• Handle overseas sourcing, RFQ, supplier comparison, MOQ, lead time, payment terms,

• Compare local vs import landed cost and recommend the most commercially and technically suitable source.

• Work closely with R&D/Engineering, Quality, Production and Stores for component approval, qualification and material availability.

• Coordinate supplier samples, prototype/first-batch procurement and technical validation before regular production orders.

• Negotiate price, MOQ, lead time, payment terms and annual/volume pricing with suppliers.

• Monitor shortages, lead times, price fluctuations and electronic component lifecycle/obsolescence risks.

• Maintain approved supplier and component databases through ERP/MRP.

• Ensure timely procurement through MRP, BOM and production requirements.

• Track supplier OTD, rejection, quality issues and responsiveness.
