The Opportunity

We are looking for an Operations Analyst to be the operational backbone of our Airframes team, dedicated to achieving maximum efficiency and control over our parts, inventory, and material flow. You will be the central communication hub, ensuring that all teams—from Engineering to Procurement to Production—have real-time, accurate information about what parts we have, where they are, and when they will arrive.

This role is a unique chance to transition a fast-growing, complex operation from reactive management to a proactive, reliable system. You will be instrumental in creating and maintaining the single, accurate source of truth for all material-related data, directly enabling our engineers and assembly teams to build and deploy our cutting-edge technology without interruption.

The Skillset

We're looking for people with:

• 1–3 years of experience in an inventory, logistics, materials, or operations support role, ideally within a hardware, manufacturing, or defense-related company.
• Demonstrated familiarity with inventory management systems (e.g., ERP, WMS, or advanced tracking spreadsheets) and the ability to maintain high data accuracy (target 98% or better).
• A proven ability to create clear, simple Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for complex, multi-step processes like receiving, issuing, and returns.
• Strong communication skills—both written and verbal—with the ability to serve as a hub of information, translating material status into actionable updates for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• An analytical and proactive mindset, capable of not just executing tasks but identifying trends in inventory burn rate, shortages, and system gaps before they cause issues.
• Hands-on experience with physical inventory management, including labeling, cycle counting, staging, and maintaining an organized warehouse or production floor.
• Proficiency with modern tools like Google Suite (Sheets/Excel power user highly preferred), Slack, and experience with, or a quick ability to learn, an ERP system.
• A high degree of humility, organization, and a commitment to detail, recognizing that accurate tracking is the foundation of the entire team’s success.
• A willingness to be hands-on and on the production floor daily.

We encourage you to break the status quo and apply to roles that would make you excited to come to work every day.

• Take ownership of assisting with all incoming shipments, verifying part numbers, quantities, and documentation to ensure initial data integrity.
  
  

The First 60 Days

• Take full, hands-on management of all part movements (receiving, issuing, returns), maintaining a real-time inventory system with a target of at least 98% accuracy.
• Track open orders and delivery timelines, and establish the process for communicating any material shortages or delays to assembly leads before they impact the weekly build schedule.
• Create and begin publishing a shared, weekly report or dashboard summarizing inventory status, open orders, and critical shortages used by the wider Airframes team.
  
  

90 Days & Beyond

• Finalize and ensure adoption of a consistent system and standardized documentation (e.g., part naming) that is trusted and actively used by Engineering, Procurement, and Assembly.
• Document and formally implement comprehensive Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for all material handling, including receiving, issuing, returns, and cycle counting.
• Analyze the first two months of data to identify key trends and deliver recommendations to Procurement and Engineering to measurably reduce part shortages and untracked movements.
