A satellite radar company hiring a dedicated supply chain specialist for Ground Station and ISR programs, with security screening required, suggests it is scaling sovereign, government-facing intelligence hardware and treating its ground infrastructure as a mission-critical supply operation rather than a back-office function.
Role highlights:
Supply Chain Specialist (Ground Station & ISR)
Location: Espoo, Finland
Department: Global Supply Chain
Reports to: Category Manager, Ground Station and ISR
Employment type: Permanent
Workplace model: Hybrid
Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)
Why this role matters:
This role is critical to ensuring ICEYE can reliably deliver complex Ground Station and ISR solutions to our Mission customers.
