The Role

We are looking for a Buyer or Senior Buyer to join our China purchasing team in Shanghai. This is a strategic role that needs a real understanding of the global electronics ecosystem: navigating semiconductor cycles, managing relationships with top-tier manufacturers, and spotting technical opportunities in our designs. You will report to the Electronics & Electromechanics Purchasing Manager and act as the bridge between Engineering and the market.

Open to All Levels

We are hiring at Buyer and Senior Buyer level. As a guide, Buyers bring 3+ years of sourcing experience, and Senior Buyers 7+ years with ownership of a commodity, supplier portfolio or major negotiations. Apply with the experience you have and we will shape the scope around you.

What You’ll Do

• Navigate the global EMS, component manufacturer and distributor landscape to secure the best partners

• Be the internal expert on semiconductor trends, memory market volatility and supply/demand shifts

• Review designs and BOMs to find alternative components (pin-to-pin or functional equivalents) with better lead times or cost

• Build strong relationships with major component manufacturers and global distributors

• Run RFIs, RFPs and RFQs, and negotiate Master Purchase Agreements that protect our agility

• Drive cost reduction and total-cost-of-ownership models without compromising technical integrity

• Support Engineering early in design to ensure design-for-availability

What You Will Bring

• 3+ years of sourcing electronic components and assemblies (7+ for Senior Buyer)

• An electronics engineering or technical degree, or strong electronics manufacturing experience

• Knowledge of global semiconductor players (TI, ST, NXP, Analog Devices, Rohm, Infineon, Murata and others) and the Chinese EMS and distribution network

• Ability to read a schematic or BOM and spot diversification or optimisation opportunities

• Strong negotiation skills, from NRE costs to volume rebates and buffer stock agreements

• Fluent English and Mandarin

• A creative, international team across Europe, Asia and the Americas
