Production Control And Inventory Specialist

Matternet is building the future of delivery with autonomous drone networks that move critical goods faster, cleaner, and at lower cost. We work with partners across healthcare, logistics, food, and retail to deliver everything from medical items to everyday essentials, safely and reliably.

We're looking for a hands-on Production Control and Inventory Specialist to keep materials, inventory records, and production orders aligned. You'll make sure the production team has the right parts at the right time, maintain accurate stock and ERP transactions, and help coordinate receiving, kitting, and shipping. You'll work closely with Purchasing, Manufacturing, Quality, and Engineering to resolve shortages and keep builds moving. This is an on-site role based at our Mountain View headquarters, where you'll be part of a small, agile, highly cross-functional team working alongside hybrid colleagues, so clear communication and reliable documentation are essential.

In this role, you will:

• Translate production schedules and bills of materials into material requirements, build kits, and clear shortage lists
• Track production orders, material availability, and work in progress; flag constraints early and follow through with the appropriate owner
• Maintain accurate inventory and production transactions in SAP Business ByDesign, including receipts, transfers, material issues, returns, and order completion records
• Receive, label, store, and issue parts and assemblies, maintaining location, lot or serial-number, and shelf-life records where required
• Prepare and verify kits for production and new product builds; reconcile unused material and keep physical stock aligned with system records
• Perform cycle counts and support physical inventories, investigate discrepancies, and work with Finance and Quality on corrections through the approved process
• Partner with Purchasing to track incoming materials, follow up on delivery risks, and communicate shortages or changing build priorities
• Coordinate shipping and receiving activities, maintain the associated records, and keep stockroom areas organized and safe
• Work with Engineering and Quality on material changes, revision control, and segregation of nonconforming or obsolete stock
• Improve material flow, inventory accuracy, and production tracking through clear procedures and practical process improvements
