Inventory Manager

Metrea Management LLC • Huntsville, AL

4d • Onsite

About The Position

Reporting to the SHADOWLAB Lead Engineer, Electromagnetics and Cyber Group (EM&C), and supporting Metrea’s overall engineering efforts, the Inventory Manager will join our busy team specializing in state-of-the-art military communications and signals intelligence products. All our teams operate in a small agile environment which allows our engineering personnel to work independently on a wide variety of systems and products. Our mix of product development and R&D also provides our engineering staff with a constant flow of new and interesting projects.

Requirements

• Engineering-Grade Configuration & Traceability Control Demonstrated experience managing part numbers, revisions, serial/lot traceability, ECO impacts, and customer-specific configurations across R&D, low-rate production, and delivered hardware — with zero tolerance for commingling or loss of pedigree.
• Ownership of Complex Material Flows Proven ability to independently manage inbound, WIP, and outbound material for mixed environments (prototypes, spares, production builds, finished goods), including kitting, staging, shortages, nonconforming material, and high-urgency engineering requests.
• Systems, Audits & Process Authority Hands-on experience owning inventory systems and processes (ERP/MRP, PLM adjacency, or structured trackers), executing cycle counts and audits, resolving discrepancies at root cause, and building scalable SOPs that support growth without losing control.

Responsibilities

• Receive & Verify Material  Receive, inspect, and log engineering, production, and finished-goods material; verify quantities, part numbers, revisions, serials, and condition against documentation.
• Maintain Inventory Accuracy & Traceability  Manage real-time inventory with full traceability (part number, revision, lot/serial, location) across development, production, and delivered hardware.
• Support Engineering & Production Builds  Kit, stage, issue, and track material for R&D prototypes and production work orders while maintaining configuration and revision control.
• Execute Shipping & Logistics  Package and ship outbound material and finished goods with correct labeling, documentation, and handling for customer, supplier, and internal shipments.
• Control Revisions & Nonconforming Material  Enforce segregation of revisions, customer-specific configurations, and nonconforming material in coordination with Engineering and Quality.
• Perform Audits & Drive Improvement  Conduct cycle counts and reconciliations, resolve discrepancies, and improve inventory processes to support scale from development to production.
