Are you motivated to understand how procurement and supply chain processes enable cutting-edge technology? Lightium, a fast-growing company at the forefront of ultra-high-speed photonic integrated circuits (PICs), invites students or recent graduates in engineering, supply chain, or business-related fields to join us for a 6-month, full-time, paid internship within our Operations Team. This is a unique opportunity to actively contribute to structuring and scaling our procurement and supply chain backbone in a dynamic deep-tech environment. As part of our Operations Team, you will support and progressively take responsibility for procurement and supply chain activities that ensure smooth material availability across R&D and fabrication. You will work closely with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to manage the full procurement journey, from initial request to final payment. From handling RFIs, RFQs, and POs to tracking orders and inventory and improving ERP-based workflows, you will gain hands-on exposure to how a semiconductor startup grow from lab to high volume manufacturing and how to build robust and scalable supply chain processes. This role comes with real ownership and visibility. For a structured and proactive individual, it offers the opportunity to grow into a permanent position and gradually take full responsibility for defined supply chain domains over time.
