Job Description & How to Apply Below
Hybrid work model - 3 days a week in the office
Permanent, full-time contract (Standard Dutch model - 12 months initial FTC, then transferred to Permanent contract)
A growing Dutch technology company in the smart home space is hiring a Project Buyer (NPI) to sit directly within their R&D environment, playing a critical role in bringing new products to market.
This is not a traditional procurement role. You will operate at the intersection of engineering and supply chain, owning sourcing strategy from early-stage product development through to production, with a high degree of autonomy.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a forward-thinking company where your work directly influences product outcomes.
What you'll be doing:
Acting as the dedicated NPI buyer within R&D, supporting multiple product development projects
Driving component-level sourcing (e.g. SoCs, MCUs, ICs, resistors, transformers) from early design stages
Collaborating closely with hardware engineers and architects to influence component selection and design decisions
Challenging technical choices needed to optimise cost, availability, and manufacturability
Identifying and engaging the right suppliers globally, building strong early-stage partnerships
Managing sample orders, tooling, and supporting phase-in/phase-out planning
Owning purchasing-related risk mitigation across NPI projects
Contributing to cost optimisation and standardisation initiatives across the product portfolio
What we're looking for:
Strong experience in a technical buying / NPI procurement role within electronics or semiconductor environments
Direct experience in sourcing electronic components ( chips , ICs , transistors , resistors , sensors , etc.)
Proven ability to work closely with engineering teams and operate credibly in technical discussions
Experience sourcing at component level (not just PCBAs or assemblies)
Ability to operate autonomously and to take ownership of projects and driving them forward independently from the start
Strong stakeholder management skills across R&D, supply chain, and external suppliers
Familiarity with ERP systems, cost modelling, and Total Cost of Ownership principles
