Director of Hardware Operations at Consumer Tech, Helsinki

Director of Hardware Operations at Consumer Tech in Helsinki. Contract. Apply with swipeandhired.

Ekahau makes Wi-Fi survey and network measurement devices. We do not manufacture them ourselves. Production, purchasing and testing are done by a contract manufacturer, product design by a design house, and type approvals go through a certification agent and an engineering consultancy.

This position is responsible for that whole network. It is the single point in Ekahau for HW operations: supply chain, type approvals and manufacturing of the products we ship today. It also plays a role in new HW programs, by bringing in mechanical, thermal and compliance requirements early enough that they can still be affected.

The work is coordination and decision making, not leading a team. There is no purchasing team and no compliance team to manage. There are partners who execute, and you are the one who decides, escalates and follows up that the dates hold. About half of the work is supply and manufacturing. This is not an engineering management position.
