About this role:As our Inventory & Logistics [Coordinator/Manager], you'll be the person who makes sure every part we buy arrives, gets logged, and ends up in the right place at the right time-so our engineers and build team never wait on materials. You'll own receiving, inventory accuracy, and inbound/outbound logistics as we scale from building one robotic system to several per year.
What you'll be working on:- Receiving inbound shipments-unboxing, inspecting, and reconciling deliveries against packing slips and purchase orders in our supply chain systems (Silkline)
- Logging received parts into inventory (ION) and keeping quantities, locations, and records accurate through cycle counts and audits
- Developing and rolling out inventory management and controls processes in a R&D (highly iterative) environment
- Organizing and maintaining the stockroom and warehouse-labeling, binning, and staging so parts are easy to find and builds stay on schedule
- Kitting and staging materials for each system build in coordination with the engineering and technician teams
- Keeping the engineering and technician teams stocked and organized-maintaining tools, hardware, and consumables and applying basic 5S organization to the shop and storage areas
- Coordinating outbound and system logistics-arranging freight and parcel shipments (LTL/truck, FedEx/UPS), preparing shipping paperwork, and getting systems and spare parts out to job sites
- Supporting international and export logistics for shipments to overseas projects-including our upcoming Fortescue deployment in Australia and other future international work
- Partnering with the procurement and supply chain team to flag shortages, track incoming orders, and keep the flow of materials moving
You:- Have at least 2+ years of relevant experience in receiving, inventory, warehouse, or logistics operations

- Have strong communication skills, a positive attitude, and enjoy working on a team
- Are based in or can relocate to the SF Bay Area, and able to work 5 days/week from our San Leandro HQ
- Are excited to see our robots deployed onto actual solar farms!
It'd also be nice if you:- Have experience operating forklifts and/or telehandlers (certification a plus)
- Have handled outbound freight, shipping/receiving operations, or export/international logistics
- Have worked in a manufacturing, hardware, or robotics environment
- Have worked at a fast-paced startup before, and enjoyed it
