SUPO, where required) The Mission of the Supply Chain Specialist, R&D We are looking for a motivated and technically capable R&D Supply Chain Specialist to join our fast-moving Global Supply Chain Organization in support of engineering. This role supports hardware development activities by coordinating sourcing, procurement, and material readiness for engineering teams developing complex electronic systems. You will work closely with engineering, manufacturing, and suppliers to help ensure development builds stay on track amid evolving designs, supply variability, and changing schedules. The role requires adaptability, strong execution skills, and a solid understanding of electronics supply chains, including PCB manufacturing and hardware prototyping. You should be comfortable working in a dynamic environment and supporting multiple priorities under tight timelines. Who We Are ICEYE delivers space-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to governments and allied nations. This includes sovereign and turnkey ISR missions leveraging ICEYE’s world-leading synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite technology, as well as access to data from the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation. These capabilities enable partners to detect and respond to critical changes anywhere on Earth with unprecedented speed and accuracy – day or night and in any weather, supported by ultra high-resolution imagery and high-frequency revisits. As a trusted partner for defense, intelligence, security, and maritime domain awareness, ICEYE’s near real-time data creates a tactical advantage for mission-critical operations. Designed for dual use, the platform also serves civil protection and commercial users for natural-catastrophe intelligence, insurance, maritime monitoring (including oil-spill detection), and finance, contributing to global security and community resilience. ICEYE operates internationally with offices in Finland, Poland, Spain, Japan, the UAE, Greece, and the US. The company has more than 900 employees, inspired by the shared vision of improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation. High-Velocity Engineering Support Support electronics engineering teams working on multiple, fast-moving hardware development projects. Translate early-stage concepts, evolving BOMs, and engineering change updates into sourcing and procurement actions with guidance from senior team members as needed. Provide timely input to engineers on component availability, alternates, obsolescence risks, and quick-turn manufacturing options. Identify potential material or supply issues early and escalate risks while supporting workaround identification. Rapid Sourcing & Procurement Execution Execute sourcing and procurement activities for electronic components, PCB fabrication, PCBA assembly, connectors, sensors, RF parts, embedded modules, and custom mechanical parts. Respond to BOM updates and design changes to help ensure prototype and pilot builds remain on schedule. Coordinate with approved suppliers to support quick-turn and small-batch production needs. Support identification and validation of alternative components or sourcing paths during shortages or supply disruptions. Supplier Interaction & Technical Engagement Interface with electronics suppliers to collect information on lead times, manufacturing capabilities, DFM considerations, and expedited build options. Support technical and commercial assessments of PCB/PCBA vendors, machining partners, and component distributors. Assist with expediting manufacturing slots, shipments, and prototype orders under tight timelines, escalating constraints when required. Cross-Functional Collaboration Work closely with engineering, manufacturing, program management, and operations to support build readiness and issue resolution. Maintain visibility into prototype schedules, engineering changes, and material risks, providing regular status updates. Demonstrate a proactive execution mindset by following up on open items, clarifying uncertainties, and helping close gaps efficiently. Agility, Risk Management & Continuous Improvement Track supply risks across assigned development programs and support mitigation actions. Maintain accurate sourcing documentation, cost tracking, and procurement data in ERP and related tools. Contribute to continuous improvement efforts by supporting evaluation of new suppliers, sourcing channels, manufacturing partners, and tools. Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics, Supply Chain, or a related field. 3–5 years of experience in electronics sourcing, component procurement, or engineering supply chain roles within hardware development environments. Working technical understanding of electronic components, PCB fabrication, PCBA assembly, embedded electronics, and prototyping workflows. Ability to operate effectively in dynamic environments with changing priorities and tight timelines. Experience reviewing electronic schematics, BOMs, AVL requirements, PCB stackups, and manufacturing documentation. Familiarity with ERP systems and engineering or project management tools. Clear communication skills and a structured, solution-oriented approach to problem-solving. Preferred Qualifications Experience in R&D-focused hardware teams, startups, or fast-paced product development organizations. Familiarity with PCB/PCBA vendors, distributors, and electronics manufacturing partners. Certifications (APICS, PMP, Six Sigma) are a plus but not required. Exposure to rapid-prototyping suppliers, global component marketplaces, and digital sourcing tools.
