Diamond Foundry is seeking a Technical Buyer to join our foundational team in Zaragoza. As we scale our €1 billion diamond wafer production facility, you will be the primary link between our engineering requirements and our global supplier network. This is a high-impact role in which you will manage the procurement of specialized industrial equipment and semiconductor-grade components essential to our zero-emission manufacturing process.
Responsibilities
- Strategic Sourcing: Identify, vet, and onboard high-quality suppliers for specialized industrial materials and laboratory equipment, ensuring they meet our rigorous technical specifications.

- Contract Negotiation: Lead negotiations on pricing, payment terms, and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to drive cost-efficiency without compromising on quality or lead times.
- Vendor Relationship Management: Act as the primary point of contact for both local Spanish vendors and international technology partners, conducting regular performance reviews and audits.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with the Engineering and Warehouse teams to forecast material needs and prevent "line-down" situations in the foundry.
- Compliance & Ethics: Ensure all purchasing activities comply with EU trade regulations, Spanish labor laws, and Diamond Foundry’s strict sustainability and ethical sourcing standards.
Requirements

- Technical Literacy: Ability to read technical drawings or specifications to ensure purchased components meet engineering requirements.
- Language Skills: Native or professional-level Spanish and professional fluency in English (essential for coordinating with our US headquarters).
- Systems Proficiency: Strong experience using ERP systems (such as SAP, NetSuite, or Oracle) and advanced Microsoft Excel skills (Pivot tables, VLOOKUPs).
