• Comfortable working hands-on with physical inventory and systems, including receiving, labeling, organizing, tracking, and preparing materials for builds.

Responsibilities

• Partner with procurement, engineering, manufacturing, and finance to align material availability with program timing and budget needs.
• Build scalable processes for inventory accuracy, allocation, receiving, labeling, kitting, and build readiness as the program grows.
