Planning Engineer - Space Systems

The Exploration Company

Bordeaux, France

We are looking for a Planning Engineer to strengthen our industrial operations. The role combines production planning, external supply chain follow-up, and support to internal work orders, using Odoo as the main ERP/MRP tool.

Main responsibilities

As a Planning Engineer, you will ensure the smooth flow of parts and assemblies from suppliers to internal manufacturing:

• External supply chain management: follow suppliers to ensure on-time delivery, monitor production progress, perform reminders and escalations when needed.
• Procurement support: request quotations, contribute to supplier workload evaluation, and work closely with the procurement team for purchase orders.
• Production planning: prepare work orders, define servitudes (tooling, fixtures, resources), and in some cases create simple manufacturing routings (gammes).
• Scheduling and monitoring: manage planning updates and priorities within Odoo ERP, ensuring alignment with project milestones.
• Cross-team collaboration: interact daily with manufacturing, quality, procurement, and program teams to consolidate planning and ensure resource availability.
• Reporting: provide visibility on supplier status, internal workload, and risks impacting delivery to Program Management.

Profile

• Engineering degree (industrial, mechanical, supply chain, aerospace, or equivalent).
• 3–5 years of experience in planning, production scheduling, or supply chain management in aerospace or other high-reliability industries.
• Knowledge of ERP/MRP systems (experience with Odoo is a strong plus).
• Familiarity with manufacturing routings, work orders, and supplier management.
• Strong organizational and communication skills, able to interact with both shop floor and external suppliers.
• Ability to manage priorities, anticipate risks, and propose corrective actions.
• Professional English (spoken and written).
