Manage domestic and international shipments, including labels, documentation, customs paperwork, tracking, and delivery coordination.
Troubleshoot shipping delays, customs issues, damaged deliveries, missing items, and other fulfillment-related problems, while keeping internal teams and customers informed.
Coordinate delivery timing with sales and field application scientists to support customer installs and training.
Improve warehouse organization, barcode systems, packaging, inventory controls, and fulfillment workflows, while maintaining accurate records across internal systems.

What You’ll Bring

4+ years of experience in supply chain, purchasing, materials planning, inventory operations, logistics, or a related role.
Direct experience managing part-level purchasing, supplier coordination, and inventory planning in a hardware or physical product environment.
Experience working in an ERP or inventory system such as Katana, NetSuite, Odoo, or similar.
Familiarity with BOM management, revision control, and approved vendor / approved part workflows.
Strong understanding of how to translate demand forecasts into purchasing and stocking decisions.
Experience coordinating with suppliers, contract manufacturers, or factories on orders, lead times, shortages, and delivery timing.
Strong organizational skills and close attention to detail.
Comfort working cross-functionally with commercial and technical stakeholders.
Willingness to be hands-on with warehouse, packing, shipping, and fulfillment work when needed.
Experience managing domestic and international shipping processes and documentation.
A process-oriented mindset and a strong sense of ownership.
