Job Title: Shipping & Receiving Clerk

About 9 Mothers

The modern battlefield has changed. Cheap, autonomous suicide drones have turned the tactical advantage upside down, and the world is looking for a solution. At 9 Mothers, we aren’t just "innovating"—we are building the shield.

Backed by top-tier investors, we develop AI powered machines designed to intercept and neutralize Group 1/sUAS threats in real-time. Our flagship product is a low-power, counter-drone system built for the edge—on vehicles, at bases, or in a soldier's pack.

About the Role

9 Mothers builds hardware in Austin, TX, and this role is the single point of contact for everything that comes into or leaves our building. You own receiving end to end: every package, every packing list, every handoff to the person waiting on it. No prior experience is required. What matters most is that you are reliable and detail-oriented, because a shipment that is misplaced or logged wrong stalls the people who need it.

What You'll Do

• Receive every delivery to the building and check it against its packing list
• Log each shipment in our receiving system and keep packing lists filed and traceable
• Organize incoming packages so anything can be found quickly
• Notify recipients when their items arrive and hand them off
• For outbound shipments, package and label the item, drive it to the carrier, and confirm it has gone out
• Keep the receiving area clean and orderly

What We’re Looking For

• Reliable: you are here every day, on time, and no delivery goes uncaught
• Detail-oriented: you check quantities and part numbers against the packing list and don't let a discrepancy slide
• Organized, with basic computer skills (email, spreadsheets, or an inventory/receiving system)
• Valid driver's license and a clean driving record
• Able to lift and move packages up to 50 lb
• Prior receiving, shipping, warehouse, or inventory experience is a plus but not required

Hours & Location

• Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., onsite in Austin, TX
• The hours are fixed so someone is always on hand for every delivery window

Benefits

• Meaningful Early Equity: You aren't just an employee; you are a foundational owner. Your contributions directly drive the value of your stake in the company.
• Direct Roadmap Influence: Forget the bureaucracy of big defense. You will have a seat at the table, directly shaping our product and technology trajectory from day one.
• Mission-Critical Work: We don't build for "what if." We build systems the Department of War actively needs to counter immediate, real-world threats.
• The Builder's Playground: Work in a brand-new lab fully optimized for rapid prototyping, equipped with NVIDIA Jetsons, high-end scopes, and 3-D printers.
• 100% Employer-Paid Premiums: We cover 100% of your medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums and cover 50% of healthcare premiums for your dependents.
• Unlimited PTO: We value results, not clock-watching. Take the time you need to stay sharp and recharge.
• Zero Red Tape: You have the autonomy to make technical decisions that would take months of committee approval at a larger firm.
• Austin-Based Culture: Join an onsite team in Austin, TX, where we prioritize high-bandwidth collaboration and rapid field-testing.
• Relocation Assistance: We want the best talent in the room. If you aren't in Austin yet, we’ll help you get here, to make your transition to the Silicon Hills seamless.
