Position Overview

Our client, an established electronics manufacturing company in Union City, CA, is seeking an experienced Purchasing Manager to oversee procurement operations, supplier relationships, and material availability in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

This is a hands-on leadership opportunity for a purchasing professional with experience sourcing electronic components, connectors, cable assemblies, and other materials used in manufacturing.

The ideal candidate combines strong supplier negotiation skills, inventory and materials management expertise, and the ability to lead a small purchasing team while remaining actively involved in day-to-day procurement activities.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage daily purchasing and procurement activities to ensure the timely availability of materials and components needed to support manufacturing operations.
  • Source, evaluate, and negotiate with suppliers of electronic components, connectors, cable assemblies, and related manufacturing materials.
  • Lead and support a small purchasing team of approximately 2–3 employees, providing guidance, training, and performance oversight.
  • Review bills of materials (BOMs), purchasing requirements, inventory levels, and production schedules to anticipate material needs.
  • Utilize ERP/MRP systems to manage purchase orders, supplier lead times, material requirements, and inventory availability.
  • Negotiate supplier pricing, payment terms, delivery schedules, and purchasing agreements to improve cost competitiveness and supply reliability.
  • Monitor open purchase orders, expedite critical materials, and resolve supplier delivery or quality issues.
  • Collaborate with Production, Engineering, Planning, Quality, and Operations to address material shortages and support manufacturing priorities.
  • Identify opportunities to reduce purchasing costs, improve supplier performance, and optimize inventory levels.
  • Monitor purchasing metrics, including purchase price variance (PPV), supplier performance, material availability, and cost savings.
  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with domestic and international suppliers.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives related to purchasing processes, supplier management, and supply chain efficiency.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of progressive purchasing, procurement, or supply chain experience within a manufacturing environment.
  • Experience purchasing electronic components, connectors, cable assemblies, wire harnesses, or related electromechanical materials.
  • Strong knowledge of manufacturing purchasing processes, BOMs, material planning, and inventory management.
  • Hands-on experience working with ERP/MRP systems.
  • Demonstrated supplier sourcing, negotiation, and cost-reduction experience.
  • Ability to manage multiple purchasing priorities and respond effectively to changing production requirements.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • Experience coordinating purchasing activities across manufacturing, engineering, and operations teams.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Previous experience as a Purchasing Manager, Procurement Manager, Senior Buyer, or Materials Manager.
  • Experience supervising or mentoring purchasing personnel.
  • Background in electronics manufacturing, cable assembly manufacturing, contract manufacturing, or interconnect products.
  • Experience managing domestic and international supplier relationships.
  • Familiarity with purchase price variance (PPV), supplier scorecards, and procurement performance metrics.
  • Experience supporting high-mix or custom manufacturing environments.
  • Take ownership of purchasing operations while leading a small team.
  • Work closely with engineering, production, and operations leadership.
  • Contribute directly to supplier strategy, cost improvements, and manufacturing efficiency.
  • Enjoy a collaborative environment with a primarily onsite schedule and some flexibility.
