About The Position

Fathom Robotics is hiring a Logistics and Inventory Specialist to own material and vessel movement, and inventory accountability at our Point Mugu Sea Range operations. You will be the person responsible for knowing where everything is, in what condition, and when it needs to move. This is a hands-on role: you will run the forklift and telehandler yourself, not just supervise the work. This role carries real accountability. You will own the inventory system for a facility supporting active government programs, and your accuracy directly affects program readiness and field operations.

• Experience handling and storing hazardous materials in compliance with applicable regulations
• Comfortable coordinating vessel movement around a working shop, yard, or pier
• Working proficiency with inventory management or ERP software
• Valid CDL required
• Resourceful and proactive, able to keep an accurate system running with minimal oversight
• US Person status required (defense program context)
• Must be able to pass a background check and be eligible to obtain a SECRET clearance
• Familiarity with export-controlled (ITAR) material handling and storage requirements

Nice To Haves

• Prior military logistics or supply background (e.g., Navy Supply Corps, Aviation/Ordnance logistics)
• Experience with government property accountability (GFE/GFP) under FAR/DFARS property management requirements
• Experience handling sensitive sensor, comms, or ISR payload equipment
• HAZWOPER certification
• Experience in a boatyard, shipyard, or marina environment, or a forklift/telehandler trainer or certifier credential

Responsibilities

• Manage movement of vessels and materials in and out of the facility, coordinating with engineering, program staff, trucking companies, crane companies, and government personnel on timing and priority, including vessel lifts
• Operate forklift and telehandler for material and equipment handling, staging, and yard operations
• Track and manage inventory of tools, equipment, and spare parts across the vessel and maintenance facility, including receiving, staging, and issue of parts and materials to support maintenance and program schedules
• Maintain custody and accountability for sensitive payload components and government-furnished equipment (GFE), tracked separately from general shop inventory
• Support payload staging and handling for integration work and field events
• Maintain hazardous materials inventory, storage, and handling in compliance with applicable regulations, including lithium battery storage and handling
• Maintain accurate inventory records through check-in/check-out procedures, cycle counts, and physical audits, and flag shortages, aging stock, and reorder needs before they become schedule risks
• Support general yard, shop, and facility upkeep as needed

Benefits

• Flexible ICHRA (Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement) plan, giving employees the freedom to choose their own health coverage through an online shopping platform.
