For our client in the Pharma industry based in Rotkreuz we are looking for a Electronic Component Sourcing and Category Specialist.
Raw material and manufacturing capacity constraints impacting various electronic components, coupled with unsatiated demand, continues to drive extended lead times and cost increases. Component manufacturers have implemented supply allocation measures to cope with the overwhelming demand. The majority of semiconductor manufacturers have implemented programs for managing supply priority and continuity with key partners. Supply challenges are expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
