We are a group of engineers, scientists, roboticists, and company builders developing foundation models and learning algorithms to power the robots of today and the physically-actuated devices of the future.\nThe Team\nThe Robotics Technician Team works closely with PI's fleet operations and engineering teams to maintain the robotic platforms that power our AI research. The team is collaborative, fast-moving, and deeply technical, and this role is a direct partner to the technicians and engineers who depend on parts being in stock to keep robots running.\nAbout the Role\nThe Inventory Specialist owns every part the Robotics Technician Team stocks, at every site, in one system of record. You will receive and put away shipments, run cycle counts, set and maintain stock levels with shift leads, move stock between sites, manage the rework and return queue for robot arms and parts, and consolidate reorders. When a technician reaches for a part, it is there, labeled, and counted.\nIn This Role You Will\nSystem of Record\nOwn the inventory system for all technician team stock, with one record per part: part number, description, location by site and bin, quantity on hand, minimum, maximum, and source.\n\nSet minimum and maximum levels per site with shift leads, and reorder before a part reaches minimum.\n\nRun weekly cycle counts on high-turn parts and a monthly full count on robot arms and high-value items, reconciling every variance with a recorded reason.\n\nReceiving & Put-Away\nReceive every shipment the day it lands, verify it against the order, label it, and put it away in the correct bin at the correct site.\n\nReceive PiBuild arm shipments, log serials, and stage arms for the shift that needs them.\n\nFlag short shipments, damage, and incorrect parts to the lab manager and the vendor the same day.\n\nCross-Site Stock\nKeep every site stocked to minimum, run transfers on the site shuttle, and log every move so the system matches the shelf.\n\nBuild and maintain shift kits and site toolboxes against a published tool list, audit them on a set cadence, and replace what is missing.\n\nKeep bins, labels, and shelf locations consistent across sites so a rotating technician finds the same part in the same place.\n\nReturns & Rework\nOwn the rework and return queue: broken arms, failed parts, and vendor returns tracked with a serial, a reason, and a destination.\n\nShip reworked arms and returns back to PiBuild or the vendor on a schedule, with no item in the queue longer than two weeks.\n\nTrack what comes back so a returned arm re-enters stock the day it arrives.\n\nPurchasing Support & Reporting\nConsolidate reorders across the team, place orders within set limits, and route anything above those limits to the lab manager.\n\nTrack lead times by part and vendor, and flag long-lead items before they become stockouts.\n\nCompare stocked parts against the BOM and flag gaps to engineering.\n\nDeliver a weekly stock report to the lab manager and shift leads (items below minimum, stockouts, inbound, rework queue age) and a monthly spend view by category.\n\nWhat We Hope You'll Bring\nInventory Experience: 2+ years in inventory, stockroom, or materials in a lab, manufacturing, or field service environment, including running an inventory system and cycle counts.\n\nHardware Familiarity: Able to identify robot arms, connectors, cables, and fasteners by part number, and understands why the part number matters.\n\nReceiving and Shipping: Packing lists, purchase orders, labeling, and RMAs.\n\nSpreadsheet Fluency: Lookups, pivots, and clean sheets other people can read.\n\nDetail Oriented: Count accuracy and a recorded reason for every variance.\n\nStrong Communication: Clear written reports and direct cross-functional communication with shift leads, engineers, vendors, and partner sites.\n\nPhysical Requirements: Lifting, moving stock between sites, and being on the floor most of the day.\n\nBonus Points\nERP or MRP system experience\n\nForklift certification\n\nFamiliarity with robotics or automation hardware\n\nExperience using Linear ticketing system\n\nPursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4278,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Robotics
