Location: Bengaluru | Work Mode: On-site | Employment: Full time

This is a technical sourcing role rather than a conventional procurement position. You will be responsible for translating engineering requirements into reliable supplier and manufacturing solutions, while balancing technical feasibility, quality, cost, lead time, and scalability.

The role offers an opportunity to work closely with cutting-edge robotics and hardware engineering teams and directly contribute to taking robotic systems from engineering builds to production at scale.

Key Responsibilities
- Source mechanical and electrical/electronic components, including sheet metal, CNC parts, fabricated structures, motors, drivers, PCBs, connectors, wiring harnesses, sensors, controllers, and batteries.
- Identify, evaluate, qualify, and negotiate with suppliers across India, China, and other global sourcing markets.
- Develop and maintain an Approved Vendor List (AVL) with multiple qualified suppliers for critical BOM components.
- Work with Engineering to review and standardize BOMs, engineering drawings,



technical specifications, and component requirements before RFQs.
- Conduct supplier audits and capability assessments to validate manufacturing capabilities, quality systems, capacity, and scalability.
- Coordinate with EMS / OEM / ODM / Contract Manufacturers for assembly, testing, pilot builds, and manufacturing readiness.
- Align manufacturing documentation, SOPs, inspection processes, and quality requirements between internal Engineering teams and suppliers.
- Drive BOM cost optimization, alternate sourcing, lead-time reduction, and supplier competitiveness through structured RFQs and negotiations.
- Track procurement, inventory, supplier performance, and supply-chain risks to ensure production continuity.
- Support supplier development and sourcing strategies for future robot generations and scale-up programs.
