Our products combine digital, electronic and mechanical components, supported by specialist suppliers and local offices across Asia and Latin America. With a growing international team, we are entering a new phase of expansion, scaling systems, strengthening supply resilience, and bringing discipline to every stage of planning, assembly and delivery.

This new leadership role reports directly to the CEO and works closely with the CTO and CFO. Your mandate is end to end: establish clear accountability from suppliers through assembly to delivery, lift ERP discipline including MRP so data and BOM integrity drive decisions, stabilise inventory, and set a monthly S&OP rhythm that aligns the business and improves customer outcomes. You will also help build reliable supply in Latin America as AQ1 transitions from distributor to direct sales.

Ongoing, you will bring structure to assembly logistics, embed continuous improvement with suppliers, support new product introduction, and ensure logistics execution and trade compliance keep pace with global demand. You will balance design ambition with manufacturability and cost while operating calmly and constructively across CEO, CTO and CFO interfaces.
