Job Description

We are helping our client find an Inventory & Procurement Specialist to oversee the parts, procurement, and inventory operations that keep humanoid robot builds moving efficiently.

In this role, you’ll maintain accurate bills of materials (BOMs), manage end-to-end procurement, and continuously improve inventory systems that support multiple concurrent builds and monthly production goals.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, proactive, and detail-oriented, with experience supporting complex hardware programs. They thrive in fast-paced, prototype-to-production environments and enjoy partnering with engineering, build, and maintenance teams to solve problems and improve operations.

• Maintain accurate bills of materials (BOMs) across multiple product revisions, ensuring part traceability and revision control as designs evolve.
• Manage the end-to-end procurement process, including purchasing, expediting, receiving, and organizing inventory with a high level of accuracy.
• Support monthly production goals by tracking parts, inventory, and material availability across concurrent builds.
• Design, implement, and continuously improve inventory management processes and systems.
• Develop and maintain strong relationships with domestic and international suppliers to ensure timely material availability.
• Partner with engineering, build, and maintenance teams to improve procurement, inventory, and production workflows.
• Collaborate with robotics systems and team members to support efficient production and operational excellence.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years in procurement, inventory management, supply chain, or materials/production coordination—ideally supporting complex electromechanical or hardware products (or a related degree plus relevant experience).
• Hands-on experience owning BOMs and tracking parts across multiple product revisions and concurrent builds.
• Strong procurement and vendor-management skills—ordering, expediting, receiving, and managing lead times across global and local suppliers.
• Experience building or running practical inventory systems (ERP/MRP, digital tools, spreadsheets, or Kanban)
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with clear communication, a bias for action, and high ownership in a fast-moving environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting robotics or other complex electromechanical hardware in a prototype-to-production environment.
