Procurement Specialist

Mujin is the future of industrial robotic systems in production and distribution environments. Our technology gives robots perception and awareness, enabling them to take on more advanced tasks. We aim to revolutionize the use of robotics within industry to free human resources from labor‑intensive tasks to focus on more intellectual challenges.

As a Project Buyer, you will support the execution of our automation projects by owning project supply readiness and supplier‑side project execution. You will work closely with internal stakeholders and suppliers to understand project BOMs, confirm BOM completeness, identify long‑lead or high‑risk items, develop purchase request packages, coordinate supplier commitments, and keep project supply activities aligned with project milestones.

This is a hands‑on project buying role for someone with direct experience in automation, material handling, system integration, robotics, industrial equipment, or a similar technical project environment. The ideal candidate understands what needs to be purchased, why it matters to the project, which suppliers and subcontractors are involved, when each item or service is needed, and how supplier delays or scope gaps may impact project execution.

This role requires strong ownership, practical BOM understanding, supplier follow‑up discipline, clear communication, and negotiation skills.

• Lead the supply‑side review of project BOMs, project scope, technical purchasing requirements, and project timing in coordination with Project Execution and Engineering.
• Proactively obtain the most complete available project BOM, confirm BOM completeness with Project Execution, Engineering, Solution Engineering, and other relevant stakeholders, and drive follow‑up on missing, incomplete, unclear, or evolving BOM items.
• Establish a BOM‑based project supply baseline, including ordered items, unordered items, items requiring clarification, supplier options, required delivery timing, and known project supply risks.
• Identify long‑lead, high‑risk, custom, or supplier‑sensitive items early in the project lifecycle and understand how each item or service supports the overall automation solution.
• Identify, evaluate, and develop suppliers and service providers used in warehouse automation, material handling, robotics, industrial automation, and related project‑based technical scope.
• Work with suppliers and service providers across categories including, but not limited to, conveyors, robotics, robot accessories, controls, electrical components, panels, sensors, vision systems, cameras, EOAT (End‑of‑Arm Tooling) / grippers, safety components, fabricated parts, installation services, field service providers, and related project scope.
• Lead supplier evaluation, quote comparison, delivery feasibility validation, and supplier readiness review, and provide supplier recommendations based on technical fit, responsiveness, quality, cost, timing, execution risk, and project requirements.
• Build practical relationships with domestic and international suppliers, negotiate project‑specific pricing, lead times, delivery commitments, commercial terms, and recovery options, and support review of supplier documents such as quotes, statements of work, NDAs, purchase terms, and subcontractor documentation with relevant internal stakeholders as needed.

• Translate confirmed project BOMs, supplier plans, quotes, delivery requirements, and project milestone needs into purchase request packages.
• Prepare purchase request packages that include supplier recommendation, quote basis, required delivery timing, lead‑time assumptions, delivery location, project milestone impact, subcontracted scope, installation labor needs, known supplier risks, and open items requiring internal clarification.
• Drive resolution of missing technical, commercial, supplier, or timing information before handoff to the internal procurement execution owner for controlled PO processing.

• Manage supplier‑side execution risks after project supply needs are…
