The Procurement Specialist owns sourcing, supplier negotiation, and purchase order execution for assigned commodity categories across our hardware programs. This person works directly with Manufacturing Operations, R&D, and Quality to secure components, services, and capital equipment on time, on cost, and to spec. The ideal candidate is detail‑obsessed, comfortable pushing back on suppliers and internal stakeholders, and able to operate in a fast‑moving environment where requirements change weekly.

They treat lead time and total landed cost as first‑class problems, not afterthoughts, and they document their work cleanly enough that the next person can pick it up without a handoff meeting.

• Manage goods receipt, ERP recording, incoming inspection, storage, FIFO rotation, and inventory accuracy across all stock types.
• Run the full purchasing cycle from RFQ through PO issuance and receipt reconciliation for assigned categories.
• Negotiate terms to optimize total landed cost, track supplier performance, and resolve quality issues, SCARs, and RMAs.

• Ship finished product, replacement units, and accessories against the demand plan, including consignment control and cross‑border logistics.
• Translate the production build plan into material needs, surface shortages in daily stand‑ups, and improve processes as volumes scale.
• 3+ years of direct procurement experience in a hardware, electromechanical, or regulated manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated negotiation track record with documented cost savings; able to walk through specific deals and what drove the outcome.
• Working proficiency with an ERP system (Net Suite, SAP, Oracle, or equivalent) and strong Excel skills, including pivot tables and lookups.
• Bachelor's degree in supply chain, engineering, business, or equivalent practical experience.

• Experience in medical devices or another regulated, quality‑controlled environment (for example ISO 13485 or GMP).
• Familiarity with lot and serial traceability, incoming inspection, nonconformance handling, SCARs, and supplier audits.
• Experience procuring components for medical devices, optics, electronics assemblies, or other regulated hardware.
• Exposure to international logistics, customs, and export and import documentation for sensitive or medical‑grade goods, both inbound and outbound.
• Experience with contract manufacturers and PCBA suppliers in Europe and Asia.
• Consignment or field‑inventory control experience.
