Procurement Specialist

Do you want to work on a New Class of Unmanned Aircraft? Our product universe spans three different platforms with maximum take‑off weights of up to 1000 kg and characteristic dimensions of 8 m: The hexacopter Grille for medical evacuation, the multi‑role rotorcraft Wespe for logistics and support operations, and the fixed‑wing unmanned aircraft Bussard for surveillance and intelligence missions. All systems are powered by RasCore, our highly redundant, military‑grade avionics system for safe operations within EASA’s Specific Category. Three aircraft, one mission: to bridge the gap between small UAVs and traditional manned systems.

In an early growth phase, a stable supply chain is critical to the success of a product. As a Procurement Specialist, you play a key role in making our UAV systems possible in the first place. You ensure the reliable procurement of components, materials, and services – from initial order placement through on‑time delivery. Acting as a central interface between suppliers, Engineering, Quality, and Project Management, you continuously keep track of prices, supplier capabilities, and dependencies. You work independently, in a structured and solution‑oriented manner, and are comfortable taking ownership and actively shaping processes. With us, you have the opportunity to help build the procurement function for a safety‑critical high‑tech product from the ground up.
