# Sourcing Specialist – Electronic Components (PCB/PCBA)
**Pixels on Target | Onsite**
## About the Role
Pixels on Target designs and builds embedded video processing systems for demanding applications — camera and display pipelines, custom PCBA hardware, and the electronic components that make them work. We're looking for a Sourcing Specialist to own procurement of PCBs, PCBAs, and electronic components end-to-end: building supplier relationships, negotiating cost, and keeping inventory levels aligned with program schedules. This is a hands-on role for someone who's comfortable talking to distributors and contract manufacturers one day and reading a BOM or schematic the next.
## Responsibilities

- Aggregate demand across active programs to build an accurate demand signal for PCB, PCBA, and electronic component procurement
- Act as the primary supplier interface for RFIs, RFPs, and RFQs
- Partner with engineering and program management to run the RFx process and evaluation, then translate results into sourcing decisions
- Manage cost aggressively to ensure adherence to project-specific budgets and forecasts
- Develop should-cost models for competitive cost analysis
- Ensure suppliers are prepared to support prototype builds, NPI, and production ramp with the right equipment, capacity, and materials
- Maintain accurate inventory levels for components, PCBs, and PCBAs, flagging shortages or excess before they impact schedule
- Drive internal and external process improvements to enhance efficiency and implement cost-saving programs with suppliers
- Present sourcing recommendations, cost reviews, and supply risk updates to leadership
- Develop, manage, and maintain strong supplier partnerships
- Implement and maintain data/tracking tools to monitor supplier performance and delivery
## Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree and 3+ years of experience in purchasing, procurement, material planning, production planning, supply chain management, or engineering; **OR**
- 6+ years of experience in purchasing, procurement, material planning, production planning, or supply chain management in lieu of a degree
## Preferred Skills and Experience
- Technical procurement or planning experience with PCBs, PCBAs, or electronic components
- Board-level and electronic component commodity experience
- Hands-on experience with inventory management and cycle counting
- Proven track record of leadership and cross-functional collaboration
- Experience in production purchasing
- Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills
- Proficiency with MS Office Suite; familiarity with ERP/MRP systems, SQL, or Access a plus
- Effective written, verbal, and presentation communication skills
- Strong customer service orientation, both internal and supplier-facing
- Detail-oriented, self-motivated, and able to respond quickly in a fast-moving, ever-changing environment
- Conducts all activities with the highest integrity
- Prior experience reading datasheets, drawings, schematics, and blueprints
## Additional Requirements
- May need to work occasional irregular hours to coordinate with global suppliers across time zones
- Some travel may be required for supplier visits (extent to be defined)
