A satellite maker is building an industrial production-planning function in Warsaw with security screening required, signaling that space hardware is being scaled into a manufacturing operation under sovereign and defense-linked demand rather than remaining a bespoke engineering shop.
Role highlights:
Production Planner Coordinator
Location: Warsaw, Poland
Department: Global Manufacturing Organisation
Reports to: Head of Global Manufacturing Planning & Analysis
Employment type: Permanent
Workplace model: Office
Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)
Please note we can only accept applications in English
Why this role matters:
We are seeking a Satellite Production Planer for the Global Manufacturing Organisation of ICEYE.
This role is the eyes and ears of the planning system on the production floor. Sitting at the foundation of the planning hierarchy, it thinks in days, work orders, and the current configuration and status of every active satellite and sub-system.
The accuracy of everything that happens above this role — the rolling plan, the capacity model, and the monthly approval decisions made at VP level — depends on the quality of the data it keeps. The Coordinator makes sure that data is always clean, current, and trustworthy, and that nothing on the floor drifts out of view.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in high-velocity environments and takes genuine pride in being the most reliable source of truth.
Who We Are
ICEYE is the world leader in sovereign intelligence from space. We deliver persistent monitoring capabilities to detect and respond to changes in any location on Earth.
ICEYE owns the world's largest and most advanced SAR (synthetic aperture radar) satellite constellation. To our customers we provide intelligence with unmatched quality, latency and revisit times, in any weather, day or night. To governments who choose to operate their own constellation we provide this proven capability as a sovereign system.
ICEYE-built constellations serve customers in defence and intelligence, environmental monitoring, insurance and emergency management. We enable fast decisions that contribute to a safer future.
Founded and headquartered in Finland, ICEYE operates globally with over 1000 employees across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
Responsibilities:
Keep Smartsheet, Jira, NetSuite and MES in sync (one work order, one reference, no phantom WIP), releasing and closing work orders so nothing goes missing
Keep as-built configuration and work order BoM data aligned with the approved LCM baseline, coordinating local configuration changes with the Configuration lead
Capture floor and configuration issues as they happen and escalate deviations early and factually to the Head of MAITE
Keep the planning system reflecting floor reality, feeding the planning cycle on cadence with plan-vs-actuals, milestone status and people availability
Work with the site MAITE leads on daily team schedules and report actual people availability into the capacity model
Track materials, WIP and stock accuracy against plan, using Excel and Power BI to surface issues and trends early
Be the dependable source of truth for the layers above, coordinating across people and sites through influence and reliability rather than authority
Must haves:
2-4 years of experience in manufacturing, production planning, or AIT coordination
Hands-on production planning and work-order coordination, from release to close
Working knowledge of planning and tracking tools (Smartsheet, Jira) and an ERP/MRP or MES system such as NetSuite
A strong discipline for data accuracy, keeping multiple systems consistent under time pressure
Data analysis and inventory tracking skills (Excel, Power BI or similar)
Clear, factual communication, with the instinct to raise problems early
Ability to collaborate and influence across people and sites without direct authority, in a fast-paced and evolving environment
Nice to haves:
Experience in a satellite, aerospace, or other regulated, low-volume and high-complexity manufacturing setting
Configuration awareness (BoM, FCR / PCR, as-built vs as-designed)
Familiarity with BoM and work order management concepts
