Help Us Tackle The Growing Wildfire Crisis With The Latest Advancements In Ai And Iot

The challenge: Every minute matters in wildfire response. As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of wildfireswith longer fire seasons, drier fuels, and more extreme weathernew ignitions can spread rapidly, putting communities, critical infrastructure, and ecosystems at risk. Today, many wildfires are first reported by members of the public, meaning it can take valuable time to detect a fire, confirm its location and size, and mobilize responders. Fire agencies need faster, more reliable ways to detect, verify, and pinpoint new ignitions so they can respond quickly and prevent small fires from becoming catastrophic events.

About Pano AI: Pano AI is the leader in AI-powered wildfire detection and intelligence, helping fire professionals detect, respond to, and contain wildfires faster and more safely. Our platform combines advanced hardware, software, artificial intelligence, satellite imagery, and other data sources to provide real-time situational awareness and actionable intelligence. Using a network of ultra-high-definition, 360-degree cameras positioned across high vantage points, Pano AI delivers a real-time view of wildfire activity, enabling faster, more informed decision-making when every second counts.

The Role

Pano AI is hiring a Warehouse Specialist to keep goods and materials moving for our Plant Operations team as our warehouse network grows quickly. This is a hands-on warehouse role first: you will spend a significant part of your week on the floor receiving shipments, picking and packing orders, staging and kitting equipment, and getting product out the door accurately and on time. There is a real systems and analysis side to the job you will build the tracking, records, and processes this function runs on but it sits on top of the physical work, not instead of it.

The mix shifts week to week. During a site launch or a heavy inbound week, you may be on the floor most of the time. In quieter stretches, you will be tightening up records, improving storage layout, chasing down carrier issues, and building the systems that make the next busy week smoother. We are looking for someone who is genuinely comfortable with both, and who does not consider either one beneath them or beyond them.

As Pano scales its warehouse network and brings on additional sites and partners, the volume and complexity of this work is growing fast. This role gives Plant Operations the dedicated capacity it needs to keep receiving and shipping accurate, transportation and storage running efficiently, and every product arriving at the right destination on schedule.

Fair warning on one point: our systems and processes here are still being built. There is no mature WMS to inherit. Much of the tracking lives in spreadsheets and carrier portals today, and part of your job will be turning that into something durable. If you want a well-oiled machine to run, this is not it. If you want to build the machine while keeping shipments moving, read on!
