Buyer / Senior Buyer - Electromechanical Components

About Stark

Stark builds the world’s most powerful electric motorcycles. From the VARG MX to the road-legal VARG EX & SM, our bikes have won world championships and are engineered to outperform anything with a combustion engine.

Headquartered in Barcelona and growing fast (77% year-on-year), our mission is to lead the way towards a sustainable motorcycle industry by reducing plastic and CO2 pollution.

The Role

Electromechanical parts sit where the mechanics and electronics of our motorcycles meet: motors, actuators, wiring harnesses, connectors, switches, sensors, lighting and charging hardware. We are building a new purchasing team in Chennai, India, and are looking for a Buyer or Senior Buyer to own sourcing for these commodities. You will report to the Electronics & Electromechanics Purchasing Manager and work closely with Engineering, Quality and Supply Chain across our global sites.

Open to All Levels

We are hiring at Buyer and Senior Buyer level. As a guide, Buyers bring 3+ years of sourcing experience, and Senior Buyers 7+ years with ownership of a commodity, supplier portfolio or major negotiations. Apply with the experience you have and we will shape the scope around you.

What You’ll Do

• Identify, qualify and develop Indian and global manufacturers for motors, actuators, harnesses, connectors, switches, relays, sensors, lighting and charging hardware

• Run RFIs, RFPs and RFQs, and make sure NDAs and Master Purchase Agreements are in place

• Build should-cost and total-cost-of-ownership models and lead negotiations to drive continuous cost reduction

• Cut lead times on critical parts, keep stock low without running out, and dual source where risk demands it

• Support Engineering early in design to choose manufacturable, available parts and qualify alternatives

• Manage supplier performance, quality issues and disputes with Quality and Supply Chain

• Track raw material (copper, magnets, plastics) and component markets, technology roadmaps and supply risks

What You Will Bring

• 3+ years of sourcing electromechanical components in automotive, two-wheeler, e-mobility or similar industries (7+ for Senior Buyer)

• Comfortable reading drawings, specifications and BOMs, and discussing materials, processes and tolerances with engineers

• Knowledge of the Indian and global supplier base for harnesses, connectors, motors and sensors

• A strong, data-driven negotiator who is organised and results-oriented

• Passion for sustainability, and a degree in engineering or business administration

• Fluent English is a must

• A creative, international team across Europe, Asia and the Americas

• Competitive salary and benefits package
