Title: Supply Chain Intern
Department: Global Supply Chain - Valencia Office
Location: Valencia, Spain
Type of Contract: Internship, with opportunity to transition to a permanent position
Working model: On-site
Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)
Why this role matters
As an R&D Supply Chain Intern, you help keep an aerospace R&D project in Valencia supplied with the parts, materials and services it needs to move forward. In a supply chain built around specialised components, long lead times and a limited supplier base, every RFQ sent on time and every delay caught early protects the project schedule. This is a real seat on a real programme, not a shadowing exercise. You will learn how flight-grade hardware actually gets sourced, from engineering requirement to delivered part, with experienced colleagues alongside you.
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.
Your day-to-day responsibilities
Support the sourcing of components, parts and services across our supplier base, working alongside engineering, production and procurement
Help translate engineering requirements into RFQs and supplier evaluations, learning how technical specifications become commercial decisions
Monitor deliveries, follow up with suppliers on delays, and keep the team updated on order status
Help spot supply risks early, including long lead times, single sources and obsolescence, and support the search for alternatives
Support the R&D project in Valencia as needs and requirements change, adapting quickly alongside the team
What we’re looking for
Must haves:
Currently studying, or recently graduated in, engineering (aerospace, industrial, mechanical or similar), supply chain, or business with a genuine technical interest
Basic familiarity with engineering and manufacturing processes, ideally in aerospace (coursework, projects or student teams count)
Comfortable reading technical documents such as drawings, specifications and datasheets
More drawn to coordination and management (planning, follow-up, working with suppliers and teams) than to hands-on technical design
Able to work under pressure and adapt when priorities and requirements shift
Fluent English and Spanish, spoken and written
Eligible for an internship agreement (convenio de prácticas) with a university or training institution
Nice to haves:
Experience working with local suppliers in Valencia
Some exposure to RFQs, supplier selection, ERP tools or Excel-based tracking
Comfortable in a production plant environment and keen to work hand in hand with production and engineering teams
Curiosity about how complex hardware gets built and bought, and the appetite to ask why
