Inventory Control Supervisor, Materials

Job description

As the Inventory Control Supervisor , you will lead the physical and system-based integrity of our warehouse operations. You will design, implement, and manage a robust inventory control program that supports Anduril's rapid manufacturing and deployment timelines. This is a warehousing-heavy role: you will not just look at spreadsheets—you will be "boots-on-the-ground," optimizing physical material slotting, strict ABC cycle count adherence, leading a team of material handlers and inventory specialists, and ensuring physical inventory matches our digital systems (ERP/WMS) with near-perfect accuracy.

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S.

  • Develop processes that increase the efficiency (speed & elimination of waste) and effectiveness of Anduril materials management.
  • Implement necessary systems that match Anduril Federal policies on management of government property & inventory management.
  • Drive Inventory Accuracy: Own the development and execution of a robust Cycle Count and Physical Inventory program (including ABC classification analysis) to achieve and maintain >99% inventory accuracy.
  • Warehouse Slotting Optimization: Optimize picking by velocity, ensure all high-velocity parts are in ideal primary pick locations (preferably golden zone) and a replenishment program is keeping these locations stocked.
  • Investigate & Resolve Discrepancies: Perform deep-dive root cause analyses on inventory variances, shipping/receiving discrepancies, and WIP bin aging. Implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
  • Systems & Data Management: Serve as the warehouse super-user for ERP and WMS systems. Ensure all physical material movements (receipts, stock transfers, issues to production) are mirrored accurately and in real-time.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with production planning and manufacturing teams to align material availability with production schedules, minimize disruptions, and meet customer demand on time.

  • 3+ years of experience in inventory control, warehouse management, or materials management within an aerospace, defense, or high-volume hardware manufacturing environment.

  • Deep understanding of cycle counting methodologies, warehouse management systems (WMS), and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.
