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.
Job responsibilities
- Lead & Develop Talent/Processes: Supervise, mentor, and build a high-performing warehouse and inventory control team.
- 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.
Job requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, or equivalent practical experience.
- 3+ years of experience in inventory control, warehouse management, or materials management within an aerospace, defense, or high-volume hardware manufacturing environment.
- 1+ years of direct supervisory experience leading warehouse associates, inventory specialists, or material handlers.
- Deep understanding of cycle counting methodologies, warehouse management systems (WMS), and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.
- Ability to be 100% onsite at Anduril’s facilities in Costa Mesa, CA.
- Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in supply chain, manufacturing or related operations field
- Strong analytical skills (Excel, SQL, or BI tools) to present inventory metrics, cycle count coverage/trends, and capacity constraints.
