Production Kitting Specialist

$21 - $23 per hour

Kranze Technology Solutions

Production Kitting Specialist

Kranze Technology Solutions is part of an SPX Technologies' Communication Technologies platform in the Detection & Measurement business segment. KTS specializes in the defense industry focusing on Infrared Countermeasures (IRCM) systems, digital interoperability and networking, and program support for the US Navy, US Marine Corps, and Special Operations Command. We provide hardware and software product development, systems integration, system test and evaluation support, modeling and simulation analysis, and other engineering services to support the Warfighter. Each team member has significant opportunities to solve a variety of complex technical challenges in small teams while working hand in hand with our defense customers.

Responsibilities and Duties

The Production Kitting Specialist is responsible for accurately and efficiently building customer kits by pulling, organizing, and assembling thousands of individual components into complete kits. This role plays a critical part in inventory accuracy, materials organization, and shipping/receiving support within the warehouse. Attention to detail, organization, and the ability to work with complex part lists are essential to success in this position.

  • Accurately build customer kits by pulling large volumes of parts according to kit requirements, packing lists, and bills of materials (BOMs)
  • Organize, box, move, stack, and stage completed kits for shipment or internal use
  • Maintain strong inventory control through cycle counts and regular inventory audits
  • Enter received inventory into the warehouse tracking system in a timely and accurate manner
  • Lead shipping and receiving activities, including managing and resolving receiving exceptions
  • Compare packing lists against company purchase orders to verify accuracy of deliveries
  • Inspect incoming inventory as needed to ensure products are complete and free from damage
  • Troubleshoot shipping and receiving discrepancies and inventory issues
  • Collect, break down, and properly dispose of cardboard and packaging materials
  • Respond to inventory- or order-related email inquiries in a timely and professional manner
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and efficient warehouse environment
  • Safely operate warehouse equipment such as forklifts and scissor lifts (as required)

This position is kit-focused, not dock-focused. Shipping and receiving tasks are supportive, but kit assembly and inventory accuracy are the core functions of the role. Success is measured by:

  • Accuracy of kit builds
  • Inventory integrity
  • Speed and consistency of component assembly
Qualifications and Skills
  • High school diploma
  • US citizen (ability to obtain security clearance requirement)
  • Strong organizational skills and ability to prioritize work effectively
  • High attention to detail with the ability to follow complex picking and kit assembly requirements
  • Dependable
  • Ability to lift, move, and stack warehouse materials as needed
  • Comfortable working with large quantities of parts and repetitive, accuracy-driven tasks
Other Preferred Skills:
  • Military Service preferred
  • Experience with working in Excel a plus
  • Experience in kitting, materials handling, inventory control, or warehouse operations
  • Familiarity with warehouse inventory systems and basic computer skills
  • Forklift and/or scissor lift experience or willingness to become certified

Kranze Technology Solutions Inc. is proud to provide extremely competitive benefits to all full time employees including:

  • Comprehensive Leave plan (Paid Time Off)
  • Comprehensive Health Care package including Medical, Vision, Dental, Health Savings Account (HSA), and more
  • Generous 401 (k) retirement plan
  • Paid Overtime
  • Tuition Reimbursement options
  • Casual and relaxed work environment
