• Coordinate between Engineering and Production to communicate supply chain risks at handover.
• Proactively manage supply chain in fast development cycles to avoid bottlenecks.

Job description

Role Highlights

• Engineering Supply Chain Manager (Mechanical)

• Location: Espoo, Finland

• Department: Global Supply Chain

• Reports to: R&D Supply Chain Manager

• Employment type: Permanent

• Workplace model: Office/On-site

• Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)

The Mission of the Engineering Supply Chain Manager (Mechanical)

As our Engineering Supply Chain Manager (Mechanical), you'll join our fast-moving Global Supply Chain organization and work closely with our hardware engineering teams as they design and build mechanical systems and structures on tight and shifting timelines.

You'll be an active part of our engineering projects, helping to execute them and staying ahead of supply. That means identifying long lead items, critical materials and complex parts as early as possible in the process, and securing them before they become bottlenecks for testing and builds. When machining capacity, material availability, special process queues or a late design change threaten a prototype schedule, we need you to act. Our development cycles are fast and iterations are constantly occurring since we thrive on pushing the technology for the best.

You'll also be a key link between Engineering and Production. You'll communicate R&D supply chain risks and the critical parts and materials you've identified to Production, so nothing comes as a surprise at handover. Your work supports the success of every engineering prototype iteration and at the same time prepares Production for rollout and mass production.

This role suits someone who is proactive by nature, with a solution driven mindset and a deep understanding of mechanical manufacturing processes, materials and hardware prototyping, who is comfortable with ambiguity and acts before problems arrive rather than waiting for them. How quickly we get from concept to working hardware in orbit, and then into production, depends on how well this role is done.
