  • Monitor inventory levels of critical components, preventing shortages and production delays.

  • Collaborate with engineering, production, and compliance teams.

  • Actively participate in process improvement initiatives and various projects.

What We are Looking For:

  • At least 5 years of experience as a procurement specialist or in a similar role, with experience in procurement within the aviation, defense, or high-tech manufacturing industry.

  • Experience in negotiations, contract management, and evaluation of supplier offers is preferred.

  • Understanding of KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) in procurement processes.

  • Previous experience working with ERP systems, including planning and organizing work within them, and preparing reports on completed tasks.

  • Good command of English (both written and spoken).

  • High sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and the ability to adapt to changing conditions as the company grows and develops.

  • Open, responsible, and professional attitude toward work and colleagues, with the ability to work effectively in a team.

What We Offer:

  • The opportunity to work on defence robotics systems that are deployed in real-world environments and matter to those who rely on them

  • Interesting technical challenges and work on complex engineering problems
