About Us
At Klynk, we're building the future of cooking. From fully automatic rice-and-curry makers to intelligent induction cooktops, we combine engineering, design, and AI to revolutionize kitchens -- both at home and in commercial spaces.
As we move from R&D to manufacturing, we're looking for a Technical Sourcing Engineer to help bridge design, supply chain, and execution for our next-generation smart kitchen products.
What You'll Do
Own mechanical sourcing across all product development stages -- from early R&D to scalable manufacturing.
Work closely with product design, mechanical, embedded, and manufacturing teams to align sourcing strategies with product goals.
Identify and qualify domestic and international vendors, lead commercial negotiations, and build strong supplier relationships.
Handle BoM (Bill of Materials) costing, manage cost-down initiatives, and drive component-level sourcing optimization.
Source a variety of components including:
Plastics & sheet metal parts

Support processes related to quality control and logistics in collaboration with internal team members.
Maintain and enhance sourcing workflows using our Zoho-based internal systems.
Requirements
4-8 years experience in hardware sourcing, procurement, or supply chain (preferably in startup or new product environments).
Strong knowledge of mechanical components, materials (plastics, metals), manufacturing methods, and cost structures.
Experience working with injection molding, sheet metal, and other fabrication techniques.
Understanding of global and Indian supplier ecosystems for mechanical and electromechanical components.
Effective communicator who can confidently coordinate with engineers, designers, and leadership.
Track record of driving vendor onboarding, cost negotiation, and part qualification.
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
Nice to Have
Familiarity with electronics sourcing (PCBs, connectors, sensors, etc.)
Exposure to quality inspections, logistics, or CAD drawings (not mandatory)
Experience with Zoho tools or other procurement/SRM platforms
Benefits
The opportunity to shape intelligent, human-centric products from the ground up
A collaborative and dynamic work culture that values deep work and innovation
Ownership and autonomy to bring your ideas to life
