Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in an inventory, logistics, receiving, or material handling role.

• Experience executing transactions in ERP and warehouse management software with a complete, accurate audit trail.

Responsibilities

• Execute all inventory transactions (receiving, putaway, picking, issuance, returns) in real time through our ERP/MES systems, maintaining greater than 99.9% record accuracy with full lot, serial, and location traceability.
• Own the daily cycle count program: schedule and execute counts by priority stratification, investigate discrepancies within the same shift, document root causes, and elevate variances to the Inventory Lead.
• Verify incoming material as the final quality gate before it enters production inventory: confirming part numbers, revisions, quantities, condition, and shelf life, and quarantining any discrepant material with clear documentation.
• Pick and kit parts, materials, and hardware to support on-time, in-full delivery to production, applying FIFO discipline and verifying serialized flight hardware against build records.
• Handle all parts to aerospace FOD, ESD, and contamination-control standards, maintain 5S organization in assigned zones, and store ITAR-controlled material in designated secured areas in compliance with regulatory requirements.
• Communicate proactively with cross-functional stakeholders: confirming ETAs on part requests, flagging supply issues before they impact production, completing shift handoffs, and proposing process improvements that strengthen inventory control.
• This is a weekend-shift position with a standard schedule of Friday through Monday, 5:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. PT, including 8 guaranteed overtime hours each week. In addition to base pay, employees receive a 10% shift differential
