- Plan and control materials for EV- specific assemblies interfacing with battery, power electronics, and thermal systems (non- cell parts).

- Coordinate closely with new- age and developing EV suppliers to support capacity ramp- up and process stabilization.

- Ensure material readiness for regulatory and homologation- driven changes impacting 2W EV models.

Technical/Functional:

- Strong experience in material planning and procurement across multiple categories:

a.Castings & Forgings

b. Electrical & Proprietary

c. Press & Fabrication

d. Polymers & Elastomers (Plastic & Rubber parts)

- Hands- on knowledge of SAP MM & PP modules (Mandatory).

- Exposure to JIT, TPM, and advanced material planning concepts.

- Inventory control, stores management, and cost control expertise.

- Ability to manage high- mix, multi- category manufacturing environments.

EV- Related:

- Exposure to Electrical & Proprietary - 2W Electric Vehicle or EV manufacturing environments.

- Experience supporting new EV model launches, pilot builds, or ramp- ups.

- Understanding of EV supplier ecosystem and localization challenges.
