Why Join Our Team? We are looking for a technically proactive and highly cross‑functional Advanced Industrialization Lead to define sourcing and manufacturing strategies for next‑generation sustainable components (parts and modules) and to lead engine Assembly & Testing (A&T;) activities. You will contribute to Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) advancement and play a key role in achieving industrial maturity for future propulsion programs.
What Will Your Day‑to‑Day Look Like? Lead sourcing and manufacturing activities for critical components, modules, assembly systems, and tooling/testing systems needed for new programs (demonstrators, archetypes 1 to 10).
Collaborate with the Advanced Industrialization Director, OPE leads, project managers, and industrial engineers to plan and execute RLPM milestones and production readiness deliverables aligned with production plans.
Define make, buy, or partner strategies for new components by integrating technical and operational requirements and developing/selecting partners, suppliers, and technologies (precision casting, machining, coatings, additive manufacturing).
Evaluate suppliers, partners, and production/assembly & test sites for quality, cost, reliability, capacity, skills, and emerging technologies.




Develop and implement dual/multi‑sourcing strategies in collaboration with OPE teams to mitigate risks and establish Factory Standard Cost (FSC).
Negotiate critical long‑term agreements covering pricing, non‑recurring costs, schedules, maintenance, tooling, and contract terms.
Work with the Partnership's team to develop risk‑sharing models for industrial projects.
Initiate and monitor procurement, manufacturing, and assembly & test processes, managing suppliers, partners, and sites to ensure on‑time delivery.
Manage Line of Balance and work‑in‑progress reports, providing accurate progress updates to internal stakeholders.
Engage suppliers, partners, and sites early in development to optimize design and reduce costs through value engineering (DfC, DfM, DfA).
Collaborate with cost control and engineering teams to establish and track Cost Basis Notes and FSC, identifying alternatives to improve margins and control cost overruns.
Track industrial milestones (FAI, PPAP, etc.) and ensure suppliers, partners, and sites have MRL maturation plans aligned with program milestones and ramp‑up needs.
Identify necessary CapEx projects (tooling, processes, infrastructure, new tech) and prepare business cases.
Support TRL and MRL assessments for current technologies.
Work closely with project managers, engineers, aftermarket support, OPE, supply chain, manufacturing, and A&T; teams within Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) to ensure alignment and facilitate component and engine development from design through launch or project closure.
Serve as the primary Advanced Industrialization contact for suppliers, partners, and sites, coordinating program requirements, specifications, deadlines, and expectations.
What Do You Need to Be Successful? Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace, Supply Chain Management, Mechanical, Industrial, or Production Engineering.




Over 10 years of experience in supply chain management, manufacturing, or industrialization of aerospace engine components or similarly demanding industries.
Strong knowledge of aerospace processes and materials (casting, machining, coatings, additive manufacturing, Inconel, titanium alloys, composites, etc.) and experience with regulated industry processes.
Proven experience in cross‑functional collaboration, project management (planning, cost control, risk mitigation), communication, and problem‑solving.
Ability to influence complex multi‑site projects and lead change initiatives.
Proficient in ERP systems (SAP, Oracle), sourcing tools, and suppliers/partner/site performance tracking.
Additional Assets: Experience with civil or military aerospace engine programs.
Familiarity with TRL/MRL frameworks, industrial maturity models, and risk assessments.
Knowledge of automation, robotics, and Industry4.0 technologies.
Skilled in digital tools such as CAD/CAM (CATIA, Siemens NX), PLM systems (Teamcenter), digital manufacturing, and data analytics.
Ability to work within a multi‑site, international network.
Proficiency in Polish.
Six Sigma, Lean, or PMP certification.

What Do We Offer? Pension and savings plan with employer contributions.
Group insurance program.
Opportunities for advancement (career progression).
Merit or recognition program.
Health and wellness programs, including virtual health care.
Recreational and sports clubs.
Nearby daycares.
Transportation accessibility or public transit programs and free parking.
