Logistics and Kitting Specialist

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Receiving and shipping: incoming deliveries checked against the order, serial numbers captured, items put away and recorded the same day;
• Kit building and serialization: assemble collection kits from components, test that each one powers on and pairs, serialize and label them, and keep the record of which kit is where and in what state.
• Inventory: kits, devices, spares, consumables, tools and fixtures in one system with locations, counts and minimums; cycle counts on a schedule; reorder before the floor runs out;
• Props and objects library: every object used in a task with an ID, a home location and a photo; checked out to stations and checked back in; new objects sourced, received and added when a task needs them;
• Station kitting: each station type has a bill of materials; you kit new stations from it, keep running stations stocked, and support moves and re-layouts.
• New sites and deployments: build the kit packages for partner sites and robot deployments to the checklist, ship them, and confirm receipt and setup with the site.
• Production inventory, as the line starts: receive and store production parts and sub-assemblies, kit them to the build schedule, and keep the production stockroom accurate.
• Records and systems: asset tags, barcodes or QR on everything that moves, the inventory system kept current, a weekly count of what is in stock, in use, in repair and in transit.

Job requirements

• Three or more years in shipping, receiving, inventory or kitting in a hardware, lab, manufacturing or field-operations environment.
• You have run an inventory system, done cycle counts, and kept counts accurate under a fast pace; barcode or QR workflows are familiar.
• You have built kits to a bill of materials and shipped them to deadlines, including internationally, and you know what paperwork a customs broker will ask for.
• You are organized to the point that other people rely on it, and you notice when a count is off.
• You are comfortable with electronics and small devices: handling, basic power-on testing, labeling, packing them so they arrive working.
• You work well with operators, technicians and engineers, and you communicate clearly.
• Bonus: ERP or inventory software setup; forklift or pallet jack certification; experience supporting a robotics, R&D or production floor.
