Why this role matters As a Supply Chain Specialist, you play a vital role in keeping ICEYE's satellite production on schedule.

Qualify suppliers and conduct risk assessments for space‑grade components, mitigating long lead times, geopolitical risks, and supplier concentration

Support rapid production scaling in Valencia while maintaining strict quality and mission assurance standards

Act as the bridge between highly technical engineering requirements and commercial realities, interfacing with engineering and production teams
