Our main production facility is in Taipei, supported by a supplementary site in Malmö. The position requires occasional travel, primarily to Taiwan.

Beyond these responsibilities, you will take on various ad-hoc projects as required by the supply chain and R&D teams. The key systems central to your work include our ERP (IFS), consolidation system (AARO), and data warehouse (Qlik Sense).

You will be based at the Malmö HQ and report to SVP Supply Chain.

Key Responsibilities:
