ABOUT THE JOB

The Material Coordinator is the warehouse‑floor owner of material readiness for production. This role lives on the shop floor — not behind a planning screen — walking kits, staging areas, and kanban racks to make sure every scheduled build has material in hand before it’s needed. You’ll work hand‑in‑hand with Production to track the build schedule, physically verify kitting status, and keep kanban/bin replenishment running so the line never waits on parts.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Walk the production schedule daily and verify kit status for every upcoming build — confirm parts are pulled, staged, and ready ahead of need date
• Flag at‑risk builds early by physically checking shortages against the schedule, not just system reports
• Coordinate with Production leads on build sequence changes and re‑prioritize kitting/staging accordingly
• Stage and deliver kits to the production floor in the correct location, quantity, and condition
• Monitor kanban card/bin levels across the floor and trigger replenishment before stockouts occur
• Walk kanban routes on a set cadence to physically verify min/max levels match what the system shows
• Maintain kanban bin locations, labeling, and card integrity; fix broken or missing cards/signals immediately
• Right‑size kanban quantities based on actual consumption patterns observed on the floor
• Perform cycle counts and spot‑checks on raw material, WIP, and kitted material locations
• Receive, put away, and transact material movements accurately and on time
• Maintain lot/serial/batch traceability through proper handling and labeling
• Keep staging, kitting, and kanban areas organized, labeled, and audit‑ready (5S)
• Own the physical flow of material from receiving/stockroom to the production line
• Coordinate pickups/deliveries with forklift and material‑handling equipment as needed
• Partner with Shipping/Receiving to resolve material delivery delays before they hit the line
• Identify bottlenecks in kitting flow, kanban replenishment, or staging layout and propose fixes
• Apply Lean/5S principles to reduce walk time, handling steps, and material waste
• Standardize kitting checklists and kanban visual controls for consistency across shifts
• Communicate kitting and kanban status to Production and Supply Chain leadership daily
• Train and support material associates on kitting standards, kanban discipline, and floor procedures
• Escalate material shortages immediately with clear, specific information (part, quantity, build impact)

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 5+ years as a warehouse associate, material handler, or equivalent floor‑based manufacturing/warehouse experience
• Hands‑on experience with kitting, staging, or kanban replenishment in a production environment
• Familiarity with inventory/warehouse management tools (ERP, WMS, or similar) for look‑ups and transactions — this is a floor execution role, not a system‑administration role
• Comfortable with Microsoft Office or equivalent tools for basic tracking and reporting
• Experience with lot/serial/batch tracking and material traceability
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export‑controlled information or facilities

The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full‑time offers; and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package.

US Hourly Range $25.49 — $34.14 USD
