• Monitor inventory health, asset utilization, shipment status, and logistics performance through reports, dashboards, and metrics.
• Look into inventory, receiving, shipping, and chain-of-custody problems, record what you find, and help put fixes in place.
• Suggest practical process changes that improve record accuracy, traceability, and consistency, following security and safety procedures.

Requirements

• A bachelor's or master's degree in engineering, supply chain management, operations, business, information systems, or a related field, completed recently or due before the role starts.
• Foundational knowledge of inventory control, asset tracking, shipping and receiving, logistics, or supply chain operations, gained through coursework, internships, research, jobs, or projects.
• Careful attention to detail, with the ability to keep accurate records, follow defined processes, and juggle several priorities.
• An analytical mindset for reconciling data, tracing discrepancies, and finding the root cause of operational issues.
• Working knowledge of spreadsheets to organize data, run basic analysis, and produce clear reports or metrics.
• Clear written and spoken communication, and the ability to work well with both technical and operational teams.
• Willingness to learn enterprise systems, logistics processes, customs requirements, and hardware lifecycle practices.
• Nice to have: internship, project, or work experience in hardware operations, asset management, inventory, logistics, supply chain, engineering labs, data centers, or manufacturing.
• Nice to have: experience with an asset or inventory platform such as ServiceNow, Odoo, NetBox, or a similar system.
• Nice to have: experience with Excel, Power BI, Smartsheet, or similar reporting and dashboard tools.
• Nice to have: exposure to domestic or international shipments, reverse logistics, return merchandise authorizations, third-party logistics providers, U.S. customs documentation, Incoterms, export controls, or hardware chain-of-custody practices.
• Nice to have: coursework or certification in project management, Lean Six Sigma, APICS, or supply chain operations.
