- Hands-on Assistance: Perform basic physical tasks to unblock the engineering team, such as routing basic cables, swapping data SSDs, or assisting with cosmetic vehicle teardowns.
- Cross-Site Coordination: Act as the physical courier for critical needs. You will regularly coordinate with your counterpart at the San Francisco hub to receive inventory transfers, execute RMAs, and occasionally drive parts between the two sites mid-day to prevent engineering delays.
Ideal Candidate Profile:
- 2+ years in inventory control, automotive parts management, or as an R&D garage technician.
- Highly organized with the ability to kindly but firmly enforce inventory rules with engineers.
- Tech-savvy; comfortable using inventory databases (FleetIO, ERPs) and barcode scanners.
- Location Flexibility: Valid driver’s license required. While your primary base is Sunnyvale, you must be willing to occasionally travel to our San Francisco location to transport critical components or assist with major inventory events.
