Logistics and Kitting Specialist

Genesis • San Carlos, CA

38d • Onsite

About The Position

Everything our robots learn from passes through a station, a kit and a set of props, and all of it has to be somewhere, counted, working and ready when the floor needs it. Wearable collection kits (head-mounted cameras, gloves, wireless hubs) arrive by the hundred and go out to our floor, to partner sites and with every robot we deploy. Thousands of props and objects move between stations every week, and a task cannot run if its objects cannot be found. Spares, consumables, tools and fixtures keep the floor going. You own all of it: what comes in, what goes out, where it is, and what is ready. This is the person who turns a pile of boxes into a working floor. You run receiving and shipping, keep the inventory true, build and serialize kits, run the props library, kit the stations, and make sure every new site opens with everything it needs on day one. As our in-house robot production line starts up, the role grows into maintaining its inventory as well: parts, kits and sub-assemblies for building robots, not only for collecting data.

Requirements

• Three or more years in shipping, receiving, inventory or kitting in a hardware, lab, manufacturing or field-operations environment.
• You have run an inventory system, done cycle counts, and kept counts accurate under a fast pace; barcode or QR workflows are familiar.
• You have built kits to a bill of materials and shipped them to deadlines, including internationally, and you know what paperwork a customs broker will ask for.
• You are organized to the point that other people rely on it, and you notice when a count is off.
• You are comfortable with electronics and small devices: handling, basic power-on testing, labeling, packing them so they arrive working.
• You work well with operators, technicians and engineers, and you communicate clearly in English.

Nice To Haves

• ERP or inventory software setup
• forklift or pallet jack certification
• experience supporting a robotics, R&D or production floor

Responsibilities

• Receiving and shipping: incoming deliveries checked against the order, serial numbers captured, items put away and recorded the same day; outbound shipments to partner sites, customers, suppliers and our Paris office packed, documented and tracked, with the paperwork international shipments need.
• Kit building and serialization: assemble collection kits from components, test that each one powers on and pairs, serialize and label them, and keep the record of which kit is where and in what state.
• Inventory: kits, devices, spares, consumables, tools and fixtures in one system with locations, counts and minimums; cycle counts on a schedule; reorder before the floor runs out; returns and repairs to suppliers tracked to closure.
• Props and objects library: every object used in a task with an ID, a home location and a photo; checked out to stations and checked back in; new objects sourced, received and added when a task needs them; the library kept in sync with the task list.
• Station kitting: each station type has a bill of materials; you kit new stations from it, keep running stations stocked, and support moves and re-layouts.
• New sites and deployments: build the kit packages for partner sites and robot deployments to the checklist, ship them, and confirm receipt and setup with the site.
• Production inventory, as the line starts: receive and store production parts and sub-assemblies, kit them to the build schedule, and keep the production stockroom accurate.
• Records and systems: asset tags, barcodes or QR on everything that moves, the inventory system kept current, a weekly count of what is in stock, in use, in repair and in transit.
• Space: receiving, inventory, stockroom and staging areas organized and safe, with a place for everything.
