You'll build and run the physical operations layer of the company: how material comes in, how it gets tracked, how it reaches the engineer who needs it, and how finished robots get out the door and to a customer in one piece. Today that means inventing the system. Later it means running and scaling it.
This is a hands-on job. You'll be on the floor, in the lab, and on the loading dock.
What you'd do
- Design and run our inventory system end to end — part numbering, bin and location scheme, receiving, put-away, cycle counts
- Own inventory accuracy across labs, warehouses, and set the accuracy targets we hold ourselves to
- Kit parts for robot builds and get them to the right bench at the right time
- Manage consumables and reorder points: fasteners, cabling, adhesives, PPE, ESD supplies
- Track tools and lab equipment, including calibration schedules and preventative maintenance
- Set and enforce lab organization standards — labeled storage, bench discipline, 5S, clean-as-you-go
- Own ESD compliance and lab safety practices
- Handle battery and hazmat storage in line with our lithium-ion safety requirements
- Support lab buildouts: new benches, test stations, equipment installs
- Own outbound robot shipments end to end, domestic and international
What they want
- 3+ years in hardware lab operations, materials management, or logistics at a hardware, robotics, or capital equipment company
- Direct experience with inbound and outbound logistics, including international shipments
- You've built or meaningfully improved an inventory system, not just operated one someone else designed
- Comfortable around engineering hardware — you can read a BOM, understand why a part revision matters, and handle prototypes without damaging them
- High bar for organization and accuracy, and willing to hold other people to it
- Able to lift 50 lbs and be on your feet for much of the day
