Who Is Flock? Every community deserves to be safe, it's a fundamental right. Our mission is simple - to build technology that reduces crime and protects privacy. Flock partners with cities, businesses, schools, and neighborhoods to help protect where people live, work, and play. Last year, Flock technology supported over 1 million criminal investigations. We've also helped solve approximately 20% of reported crimes in areas where we're deployed, and have played a role in locating more than 10,000 missing people. We are a high-performance team united by urgency, ownership, and a shared commitment to meaningful impact. The work is fast‑paced and the expectations are high. We push beyond perceived limits, support each other, and hold ourselves accountable to delivering results that matter.

At Flock, you will find the opportunity to grow quickly, take on real responsibility, and contribute to something bigger than yourself. The Opportunity The Alpha Focus Factory is a specialized production unit within our larger manufacturing facility dedicated to building our Drone as First Responder (DFR) airframe. As the Inventory Analyst, you are the backbone of this specialized cell, ensuring that the unique materials, components, and finished goods required for the Alpha drone are meticulously tracked and available for just‑in‑time production. Your primary goal is to maintain 100% inventory accuracy within your dedicated cell to prevent production downtime. In this position you will: Record and monitor all incoming raw materials and outgoing finished goods specific to the focus factory using ERP or WMS software (e.g., Odoo, SAP, Oracle). Perform daily or weekly physical counts of high‑value or high‑turnover components to identify and resolve discrepancies immediately. Coordinate with procurement to ensure "safety stock" levels are maintained, preventing stockouts that could halt the specialized production line. Verify that incoming materials meet technical specifications and discard or return items that do not meet company standards. Manage the layout of the storage area within the focus factory to ensure fast, ergonomic access to frequently used parts. Collaborate with production leads to optimize the "kitting" process for the Alpha airframe assembly line.

Physical Stamina: Ability to work in a fast‑paced manufacturing/warehouse environment, which involves standing or walking for long periods, bending, reaching, and regularly lifting up to 50 lbs. Nice to Have: Forklift certification and experience in a "Focus Factory" or specialized manufacturing cell environment. Feeling uneasy that you haven't ticked every box?
