Core Job Responsibilities

• Responsible for the procurement of high-speed optical module materials, including but not limited to optical chips, electrical chips, Driver & TIA, structural parts, optical components, adhesives and other auxiliary consumables.
• Lead supplier negotiations for assigned material categories, sign framework agreements, and continuously optimize procurement prices, payment terms and delivery lead time.
• Source, evaluate, certify and maintain core supplier resource pools, focusing on domestic and overseas suppliers with technical advantages in high-speed and high-performance materials.
• Establish supplier performance evaluation system based on QCDS (Quality, Cost, Delivery, Service); conduct regular assessment and grading to drive continuous supplier improvement.
• Handle incoming material abnormalities, coordinate with IQC, engineering teams and suppliers to analyze root causes and implement corrective actions.
• Issue purchase orders according to MRP and production plans, and track the entire process from order placement to material warehousing.
• Proactively identify potential delivery risks such as capacity constraints, raw material shortages and customs issues, and formulate corresponding contingency plans to ensure uninterrupted production.
• Manage and optimize inventory levels; collaborate with planning and warehouse teams to guarantee stable material supply while reducing inventory costs and stagnant stock risks.
• Conduct in-depth material cost breakdown analysis, identify cost-saving opportunities, and implement annual cost-reduction plans for responsible categories.
• Keep track of optical communication market trends, core technology updates and upstream wafer capacity status to provide market intelligence and risk warnings for procurement decisions and NPI projects.
• Act as the supply chain representative to participate in NPI projects, including material availability evaluation, supplier selection and prototype material procurement.
• Cooperate with R&D and quality departments to complete the certification process for new suppliers and new materials.
• Optimize procurement workflows and ERP systems such as SAP/Oracle to ensure compliant and efficient daily procurement operations.
• Perform cross-departmental communication and complete other assigned tasks.

Job Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or above from accredited universities, majoring in Electronic Engineering, Optoelectronic Information, Microelectronics, Supply Chain Management, Business Administration or related disciplines.
• Over 3 years of direct procurement experience in optical modules, optical components, semiconductor chips or high-speed communication equipment manufacturing; candidates with experience in 400G+ optical module material procurement are preferred.
• Familiar with the BOM structure, key material technical parameters, mainstream supplier landscape and cost composition of high-speed optical modules.
• Proficient in ERP systems and office software; capable of independent data analysis.
• CET-4 or above; able to read English technical documents and communicate via business emails independently; fluent oral English is a plus.
