7+ Years of Scale Logistics & Operations Track Record:
Proven experience managing physical inventory, shipping/receiving, or spare-parts distribution networks within high-complexity hardware industries (e.g., autonomous vehicles, robotics, aerospace, automotive manufacturing, or high-density hardware deployment).
Logistics Automation & Infrastructure Fluency:
Demonstrated success migrating physical hardware tracking and warehouse dependencies out of ad-hoc tools (like manual spreadsheets) and into automated enterprise architectures, inventory management systems (IMS), or relational data workflows.
BOM & Configuration Literacy:
Strong competency parsing complex, multi-variant hardware Bills of Materials (EBOM/MBOM) and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) specifically to forecast central warehouse staging and maintain a 100% clear-to-build status.
Operational Team Direction:
Experience designing daily workflows, establishing standard operating procedures (SOPs), and auditing the output data integrity of on-the-ground warehouse contractors (EXTs), technicians, or third-party logistics vendors.
Analytical Precision & Audit Metrics:
Ability to engineer operational rigor, establish strict inventory audit cadences, and define precision metrics (e.g., inventory accuracy, on-time delivery, damage-free arrival rates) within a rapid, scaling deployment environment.
Cross-Functional Communication & Visibility:
Exceptional ability to synthesize fragmented inventory timelines and supply disruptions into clear, actionable data and material-readiness frameworks for hardware engineering and operations leadership.
Supplier & External Vendor Coordination:
Proven experience managing communication loops between hardware parts suppliers and external manufacturing partners to track multi-destination inbound flows, verify component ETAs, and collaborate with internal logistics teams.
