About The Position

We're hiring an Inventory & Procurement Specialist to own the parts, procurement, and inventory operations that keep our humanoid robot builds moving. In this role, you will keep bills of materials (BOMs) accurate across multiple concurrent revisions, run end-to-end procurement, and design and continuously improve the inventory system that supports monthly production targets. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone highly organized and proactive who thrives by partnering with build, maintenance, and engineering teams in a fast-moving, prototype-to-production environment.
