Job Description:

We are seeking a highly analytical and technically proficient RFQ & Proposals Specialist to manage the end-to-end lifecycle of product costing, material planning, and strategic bidding. In this role, you will bridge the gap between engineering requirements and commercial execution.

You will work independently on sales leads to build winning competitive bids and manage awarded projects from Purchase Order (PO) through to final delivery. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in costing electronic components, PCBs/PCBA, and mechanical parts, backed by a strong background in global supply chain and vendor development.

Key Responsibilities

1. RFQ Management & Technical Cost Analysis

• End-to-End Costing: Conduct detailed product costing analysis including material costs, manufacturing/labor costs, overheads, and logistics.

• Drawing Interpretation: Read and interpret technical engineering drawings, Bill of Materials (BOMs), and Gerber files to identify sourcing requirements.

• Component & Assembly Costing: Analyze and cost complex printed circuit boards (PCBs), PCB Assemblies (PCBA), electronic components, and custom mechanical parts (enclosures, sheet metal, plastics).

• Spend Analysis: Perform spend analysis to identify cost-saving opportunities, cost drivers, and margin improvements.

2. Proposal Generation & Sales Support

• Independent Bidding: Act as the strategic partner to Sales Leads, taking complete ownership of building competitive commercial proposals and RFQ packages.

• Technical Queries: Clarify technical and commercial ambiguities directly with the customer or internal engineering teams.

3. Strategic Sourcing & Vendor Development

• Supplier Identification: Scout, evaluate, and onboard high-quality global suppliers for electronics and mechanical components.

• Negotiation: Drive commercial negotiations with global suppliers to secure optimal pricing, credit terms, and lead times.

• Global Supply Chain Management: Mitigate supply chain risks by maintaining a healthy mix of local and international vendor networks.

4. End-to-End Project Execution

• PO to Delivery Lifecycle: Take complete ownership of the project lifecycle once a bid is won—managing order placement, material planning, tracking production, and ensuring on-time delivery to the customer.
