• Drive supplier qualification, capacity planning, and onboarding in close alignment with industrialization roadmaps
• Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Operations, Quality, and Supply Chain teams to ensure seamless NPI transition

Your Profile

• 10+ years of hands‑on experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, and supplier management within a complex industrial or hardware environment (robotics, automotive, aerospace, electronics, or industrial automation)
• Proven track record of managing procurement activities throughout the entire product lifecycle—from early‑stage NPI prototypes to serial production ramp‑up
• Deep expertise in sourcing custom mechanical, electrical, and complex electromechanical components
• Strong mastery of strategic sourcing, contract negotiations, supplier agreements, and long‑term commercial terms
• Demonstrated ability to build supplier networks and procurement processes from the ground up in fast‑growing or dynamic hardware organizations
• Experience working effectively with international supplier bases, particularly across Europe and Asia
