Job description
Strategic Sourcing (EMS & Electronics)

Location:
Yelahanka, Bengaluru Role Overview As a Senior Individual Contributor, you will be the architectural anchor for our electronics supply chain. You will develop and execute the EMS Sourcing Strategic Plan to ensure our outsourced manufacturing ecosystem is resilient, cost-effective, and scalable. Acting as the primary bridge between our internal R&D;/Engineering teams and our external EMS partners, you will own the total cost of ownership (TCO), electronic component lifecycle strategy, and operational readiness for high
- velocity production.

Key Responsibilities
& Strategic Deliverables  EMS Partner Strategy & Performance: Own the strategic roadmap for EMS selection, qualification, and allocation. Monitor contract manufacturer performance against SLAs, delivery timelines, quality metrics, and cost-reduction goals.  Component-Level Strategy & AVL Ownership: Drive the multi-year category strategy for electronic components (semiconductors, passives, ICs, PCBs). Maintain the Approved Vendor List (AVL) and dictate which components the EMS must source to mitigate market volatility.  Early Involvement in NPI (New Product Introduction): Partner with internal Hardware Design and R&D; teams during early design phases.



Influence component selection for "Design for Manufacturing" (DFM) and "Design for Supply Chain" (DFSC) to avoid sole
- sourced or end-of-life (EOL) parts.  Should-Cost Modeling & Negotiations: Analyze EMS cost breakdown matrices (BOM cost, markup, labor, tooling, test fixtures). Drive rigorous cost-down initiatives through component localization, volume aggregation, and should-cost modelling.  Supply Continuity & Risk Mitigation: Build and execute risk-mitigation plans for high-impact lines. Establish buffer stock strategies, component banking, and dual-sourcing frameworks at the EMS level to prevent production downtime.  Contract & Commercial Architecture: Draft, negotiate, and enforce comprehensive Master Services Agreements (MSAs), Statements of Work (SOWs), and inventory liability agreements with global EMS partners. Required Qualifications & Technical Skills 

Education:
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Supply Chain Management, or a related technical field. An MBA or professional certification (e.g., APICS, CSCP) is a strong plus. 

Experience:
7 to 10+ years of deep experience in electronic sourcing, specifically managing EMS/turnkey partners from an OEM perspective.  Technical Mastery
• Deep understanding of PCBA manufacturing processes, SMT lines, test methodologies, and electronic component lifecycles.
• Proven capability to read and analyse complex Bills of Materials (BOMs) and schematics to identify supply chain risks.
• Robust familiarity with global electronics distribution channels and direct manufacturer relationships.  Tools & Compliance: Proficiency in ERP systems (SAP/Oracle), PLM software (e.g., Agile, Arena), and advanced Excel for spend analytics. Clear understanding of environmental compliance (RoHS, REACH).
