Supply Chain Specialist chez Espace

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

E-Space is building a next-generation LEO satellite constellation and the supply chain to support it. As Program Supply Chain Manager, you will own the end-to-end Supply Chain / Procurement execution function — from subcontract formation / piece part purchase through to delivery performance and cost control — while providing direct program support across our active spacecraft & terminal development efforts.

 

This is a hands-on, early-career role. You will own the full supply chain and procurement function: from raw material sourcing and supplier qualification through purchase order execution, material planning, logistics, and delivery of finished goods. There is no hand-off — this product line is yours.

 

You will work directly with Engineering and Supply Chain team on the floor and in the system. If you want a desk job, this isn’t it. If you want to build something and own it, read on.
