Buyer, Electronics, Interconnect & General Procurement

Role Overview This role owns sourcing for the electronics and interconnect category — wire harnesses, connectors, PCBs, PCBAs, and electrical components — while carrying a full tactical procurement load across direct and indirect categories as OW scales from first launch toward multi-program production. It is a both-hands role : one hand builds multi-month category strategies, coordinates FAI campaigns, and presents sourcing recommendations to engineering, finance, and leadership; the other runs the daily PO rhythm — requisitions to purchase orders, expediting, frame agreements and blanket orders, indirect buys, and tight coordination with production and material planners. Honest split: roughly 60–70% tactical execution, 30–40% category building , flexing with launch campaigns and program tempo. The person who succeeds treats no task as beneath them — presenting a category strategy one week, helping close a cycle count or untangle a NetSuite reconciliation the next. Works most closely with: the peer buyer (mechanical), material & production planners, Engineering/D2M, Quality, and Finance.
