Space qualified vendor ecosystems for many components are still forming; lead times are unpredictableand supply chains for high-reliability hardware often have tobe created rather than simply managed. This role is as much about establishing new pipelines as it is about running existing ones.\nYou will own the end-to-end flow of parts, materials and services into our satellite build by identifying and qualifying vendors (domestic and international), negotiating and managing commercial relationships and coordinating closely with engineering teams to translate technical requirements into build-able procurement plans. Beyond SCM execution, you will contribute to supporting sourcing strategy, indigenisation efforts and supplier development and growing into greater ownership over time. \nSet up and grow the vendor pipeline: Identify, evaluate and onboard new suppliers across mechanical, electronic, optics and specialised space-grade components; build a qualified vendor base where one may not yet exist, including sourcing alternatives.\n\nOwn vendor qualification: Drive supplier assessment, capability audits, sample evaluation and onboarding.\n\nMaintain and deepen supplier relationships. Act as the primary point of contact for a portfolio of vendors; manage commercial terms, negotiate pricing and lead times, resolve disputes and delivery issues, and cultivate long-term partnerships that scale with the company's programs.\n\nLead technical discussions with vendors and internal teams. Sit at the interface between engineering and suppliers. Engage with specifications, datasheets, drawings and carrytechnical vendor conversations directly.\n\nManage procurement execution. Handle RFQs, RFIs, purchase orders, order tracking, expediting and delivery follow-up; maintain accurate records of pricing, lead times and supplier performance.\n\nContribute to SCM strategy for the space sector. Contribute to sourcing strategy, indigenisation roadmaps and make-vs-buy thinking suited to the realities of the Indian space ecosystem; help benchmark against global practice and share ideas on how the company builds a resilient, cost-effective supply chain over time. Ownership of strategy grows with experience in the role.\n\nSupport compliance and documentation. Engage with teams managing import/export, licensing and regulatory considerations relevant to space and engineering components.\n\nSupport cost and inventory management. Trackspend against budget, drive cost-reduction initiatives and coordinate inventory levels of long-lead and critical items.\n\nRequirements\nBachelor's degree in engineering (Mechanical / Electrical / Electronics / Aerospace) or in Supply Chain / Operations Management; anengineering background is strongly preferred given the technical nature of the role.\n\n2-4 years of experience in procurement, supply chain, sourcing, or vendor management, ideally in aerospace, defence, electronics, precision manufacturing, or another high-reliability hardware domain.\nDemonstrated experience onboarding new vendors or building supplier pipelines from the ground up is a strong advantage.\nExposure to the space, satellite, or deep-tech hardware ecosystem is a plus but not mandatory; a genuine willingness to learn the technical domain is essential.\nStrong attention to detail in tracking orders, costs, and supplier performance; comfortable working with spreadsheets, ERP/procurement tools, and structured data.\n\nSelf-starter who thrives in a fast-moving, resource-constrained startup environment and takes end-to-end responsibility for outcomes.\n\nClear communicator who can bridge engineering, quality, finance, and external vendors, and translate between technical and commercial languages.\n\nBenefits\nFair Compensation in line with current market standards.\n\nStart-up Culture: Be part of a high-growth, innovation-driven team. Opportunity to shape the backbone of one of India’s leading space-tech start-ups.\n\nOpen Culture: Freedom to explore, propose, and implement new ideas and processes.\n\nLeadership Exposure: Work Closely with the Founding Team, Director - Technical Operations and other function heads at GalaxEye.\n\nIndustry Mentorship: Work with advisors and mentors holding senior positions and decades of industry experience.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4352,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Supply Chain","Space & Aerospace","Earth Observation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-03T17:02:56Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":33,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.6,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":25,"expected_fill_days":18,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:tail","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/galaxeye-space-supply-chain-associate-satellite-systems","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/galaxeye-space-supply-chain-associate-satellite-systems.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T13:00:25Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19588,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":59381},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=59381"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgalaxeye-space-supply-chain-associate-satellite-systems"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgalaxeye-space-supply-chain-associate-satellite-systems"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgalaxeye-space-supply-chain-associate-satellite-systems"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/galaxeye-space-supply-chain-associate-satellite-systems\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgalaxeye-space-supply-chain-associate-satellite-systems"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1777917}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"galaxeye.space","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1777917},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
