Hi, When I saw your requirement for an experienced Electronics Manufacturing Sourcing Agent, it reminded me of several ECM and global electronics supply-chain projects I’ve supported — including component sourcing, OEM/ODM coordination, SMT manufacturing management, and end-to-end procurement workflows for embedded systems, industrial electronics, and high-volume PCB assemblies. ✅ I have 11 years of experience working with electronics manufacturing and supply-chain ecosystems — including PCB assembly sourcing, component procurement, supplier coordination, and production support for embedded and industrial hardware. ✅ I’m skilled in managing ECM workflows, supplier negotiations, BOM cost optimization, counterfeit-risk mitigation, logistics coordination, and communication between OEMs and contract manufacturers. Two quick suggestions: ✅ Establish approved-vendor and alternate-supplier workflows early to reduce lead-time and counterfeit risks during procurement. ✅ Implement structured BOM lifecycle tracking and inventory forecasting to improve continuity during global component shortages. Freelancer doesn’t allow me to message first — please feel free to reach out, and I’d be happy to support your ECM sourcing and manufacturing coordination activities with a practical, production-focused approach. Kind regards, Avi Gupta Quality is never an accident
