You will be responsible for specifying, planning, and coordinating material needs, as well as handling orders for components and spare parts. You will also review and correct Bill of Materials (BOM) and ensure that information is accurate and up to date in relevant systems and databases.

You will work closely with other engineers, planners, and specialists throughout the different phases of the projects. Together with your colleagues, you will plan and coordinate test objects and ensure that the right materials are available at the right place and at the right time. The role involves many cross-functional contacts, and you will become an important point of contact for questions related to components and material needs. Your main responsibilities include:
