The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Purchaser with hands-on electronics sourcing experience who is confident operating independently and comfortable navigating supply uncertainty.

This role is focused on owning key component categories and ensuring supply continuity across active production and NPI programs.

You will work closely with Engineering, Planning, and Operations to balance cost, lead time, and risk — particularly in electronics-driven environments where allocation cycles and seasonal shortages are real considerations.

If you enjoy solving supply problems before they escalate and negotiating confidently with both suppliers and internal stakeholders — this role will suit you.

What You’ll Do

Own Key Electronics Categories

• Manage sourcing of electronic components such as semiconductors, ICs, RAM, SoCs, PCB/PCBA, connectors, and related assemblies.
• Evaluate cost, MOQ, and lead-time trade-offs before PO commitment.
• Identify potential single-source or long lead-time exposure within your portfolio.

Navigate Supply Volatility

• Monitor market signals such as lead-time shifts, allocation risk, and demand swings.
• Work with Planning to align buying strategy with forecast changes.
• Support mitigation actions during seasonal shortages or constrained supply conditions.

Execute with Technical Discipline

• Validate BOM revisions, part numbers, and AVL alignment prior to PO release.
• Ensure ERP accuracy for lead times, MOQs, and supplier data.
• Coordinate with Engineering during NPI and revision changes to minimise rework and excess inventory.

Manage Supplier Performance

• Track on-time delivery and lead-time adherence.
• Support structured supplier discussions when performance deviates.
• Escalate risks early to prevent production disruption.

Contribute to Process Improvement

• Identify recurring issues in purchasing workflows.
• Suggest improvements in data hygiene and execution discipline.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives within the procurement function.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

• 5–8 years of procurement experience in electronics or hardware manufacturing.
• Direct experience sourcing electronic components (PCB, PCBA, semiconductors, ICs, RAM, SOCs, connectors, etc.).
• Familiarity with industry dynamics such as semiconductor allocation cycles, seasonal shortages, and component lifecycle risks.
• Understanding of BOM structures, revision control, and NPI processes.
• Experience working with EMS or contract manufacturers is advantageous.
• Comfortable negotiating pricing and delivery terms.
• Strong ERP discipline (NetSuite or similar preferred).
• Business Mandarin proficiency is preferred / required for supplier communication and coordination with China-based suppliers.
• Independent, resourceful, and able to operate with minimal supervision.
• Clear communicator across Engineering, Planning, and Operations.

Why Rapsodo?

At Rapsodo, Procurement plays a direct role in protecting product launches and customer commitments.

• You’ll gain exposure to global supply networks.
• You’ll work cross-functionally with Engineering and Operations.
• You’ll strengthen your ability to manage electronics supply risk in real production environments.
• You’ll be positioned to grow into broader sourcing and leadership responsibilities as the team expands.
