We're not just building hardware; we're building the future.\n\nWhere you come in:\n\nAs our (Senior) Supply Planner, you will take full ownership of our finished goods strategy, master production scheduling (MPS), and finished inventory deployment at our headquarters in Delft. Sitting right at the intersection of Commercial Sales, Operations, Procurement, and Assembly/Calibration, you will make sure that our high-precision quantum hardware reaches customers on time while keeping working capital and inventory risks balanced.\nWe are looking for someone with a proactive, structured mindset who combines solid supply planning expertise with the agility of a fast-growing scale-up. You will be instrumental in professionalizing our Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP/SIOP) cadence, digitizing our supply chain planning tools, and preparing our operations for the next phase of global growth.\n\nWhat you'll do:\n\nMaster the Schedule & Allocation:\n\nDevelop and execute the Master Production Schedule (MPS) for standard and custom finished goods. You’ll translate commercial demand into feasible build schedules for assembly, testing, and calibration while managing order promising (ATP/CTP).\n\nDrive S&OP & Alignment:\n\nLead the monthly Supply Planning review within the S&OP process-highlighting capacity bottlenecks, supply-demand gaps, and revenue impacts-and facilitate weekly S&OE sessions to tackle short-term component shortages or shifting timelines.\n\nStrategise & Optimise Inventory:\n\nEstablish target safety stocks, reorder points, and cycle stock rules for finished goods and critical sub-assemblies. You’ll collaborate closely with R&D on NPI/ECM phase-in/phase-out strategies to minimize excess and obsolete (E&O) inventory.\n\nDigitise & Scale:\n\nLead the deployment and digitization of modern supply chain planning tools, automate purchase order placement and confirmation workflows, and continuously refine ERP/MRP parameters to reflect real-world lead times and yields.\n\nCollaborate & Inform:\n\nAct as the key operational bridge across Sales Operations, Procurement, Engineering, and Senior Leadership, establishing core KPIs like OTIF, Schedule Attainment, and Forecast Consumption.\n\nWhy you'll love it:\n\nIgnite Your Drive:\n\nYou'll be working in the most exciting industry right now - quantum computing - a true deep-tech frontier where your work directly enables world-class physics research.\n\nDrive the Future:\n\nHelp build and mature our operational backbone, playing a direct role in how Qblox scales from a hyper-growth scale-up into an established industry leader.\n\nCollaborate with Brilliance:\n\nWork alongside some of the smartest, most innovative minds on the planet in an open, multidisciplinary environment.\n\nUnleash Potential:\n\nHigh ownership, direct impact on core operations, and clear avenues for long-term growth (such as moving towards Supply Chain Manager or Head of Supply Chain).\n\nEnough about us, what about you?\nTo truly excel and lead the charge in this role, we envision you'll have the following skills and experience:\n\nThe Non-Negotiables:\n\nSupply Planning & MPS Expertise:\n\n6+ years of progressive hands-on experience in supply planning, master production scheduling (MPS), or finished goods inventory management within a high-tech hardware, complex electronics, PCBA, or semiconductor environment (high-mix/low-volume).\n\nS&OP / SIOP Depth:\n\nProven track record in participating in or leading Sales & Operations Planning cycles, running capacity reviews, and managing inventory buffer strategies.\n\nSystems & Data Literacy:\n\nAdvanced proficiency with modern ERP/MRP systems (e.g., SAP, Odoo, NetSuite) and advanced data modeling skills in Excel/Sheets (familiarity with SQL or Python is a big plus).\n\nCorporate & Scale-up Agility:\n\nExperience navigating both structured corporate environments and dynamic, fast-paced scale-up/start-up settings.\n\nFluent English & Stakeholder Skills:\n\nExcellent verbal and written English communication skills, with the ability to bridge cross-functional teams, manage expectations, and present clear trade-offs to senior leadership. Dutch is helpful, but not required.\n\nEducational Background:\n\nA Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field.\n\nA security screening and reference check may form part of the selection process for this position.\n\nAcquisition in response to our vacancies by recruitment agencies is not appreciated.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4758,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Supply Chain","Quantum Science & Computing","Quantum Computing Hardware"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-21T17:58:04Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":84,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.84,"p_room":1,"age_days":9,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["seen:9","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":89801,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/qblox-senior-supply-chain-planner","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/qblox-senior-supply-chain-planner.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T19:53:06Z","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":29527,"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":20997},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=20997"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fqblox-senior-supply-chain-planner"},{"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%2Fqblox-senior-supply-chain-planner"},{"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%2Fqblox-senior-supply-chain-planner"},{"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/qblox-senior-supply-chain-planner\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fqblox-senior-supply-chain-planner"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3021557}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"qblox.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3021557},"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.
