Company overview
Alloyed is a young venture-funded company of about 150 world-class metallurgists, engineers, and software developers working across 3 sites in the UK, 1 in Japan, and 1 in Seattle to build the future of advanced metal components. To do this it uses proprietary software packages which combine advanced machine learning and physical modelling to invent better alloys, devise better ways to process them, and design better 3D-printed components.
The Role
Alloyed is currently designing microturbine engines for a range of jet propulsion applications. The system architecture is simple, with outer diameters ranging between 60-240mm considered. The objective of Alloyed’s development programme is to use additive manufacturing to increase performance compared to current state-of-the-art by leveraging more complex designs enabled by additive manufacture and bespoke high temperature materials, including nickel superalloys. In parallel, the target is to consolidate the number of parts in the engine, reduce production cost and enable high production rate.
Alloyed is seeking a motivated Supply Chain Co-ordinator to support with the identification, evaluation and the securing of suppliers and services needed to support the development and production of propulsion systems. This role involves closer collaboration with the engineering team which define the specifications required for the sourced goods. You will report to the Testing Lead and play a key role enabling and developing supply chains and defining the procurement strategy.
You will be based at Alloyed’s manufacturing site in Abingdon. [DS1] A highly competitive remuneration package is offered, including equity incentives.
