• Perform cycle counts and assist in full physical inventory
• Communicate shortages, overages, or discrepancies to procurement or production leads
• Maintain traceability and labeling of all stock materials
• Collaborate cross-functionally to resolve material availability issues
• Use basic warehouse equipment - pallet jack, forklift, stocker
• Identify and implement process improvements in storage, labeling, and layout
• Follow all safety, PPE, and ESD handling protocols

What You’ll Need

• 2 - 4 years warehouse or material-handling experience in manufacturing / production environment
• Strong attention to detail and documentation accuracy
• ERP or inventory system experience (e.g., Inflow, SAP, Oracle)
• Understanding of inventory principles (FIFO, cycle counting, traceability)
• Familiarity with barcode scanners and digital documentation tools
• Forklift experience in a warehouse / loading dock environment
• Able to read/interpret work orders, labels, and part numbers
• Strong communication (both verbal and written) and teamwork skills
• Reliable, punctual, consistent work ethic
• Basic computer skills (Google Workspace / Microsoft Office)
• Able to stand, walk, bend, and lift ≤ 30 lbs regularly

Physical Requirements

• Frequent standing, walking, and lifting ≤ 30 lbs
• Manual handling of boxes, bins and handling small components
• Occasional work in controlled environments (cleanroom / ESD)
• Regular use of PPE (gloves, safety glasses, steel-toe shoes)

Bonus Points

• Making manufacturing or assembly-line warehouse experience
• Forklift / pallet-jack certification (current)
• Familiarity with ISO 9001 or similar quality systems
• Experience with Lean, 5S, or other continuous improvement methods
• Experience supporting production kitting or materials staging
