About You and The Role

Zipline’s Half Moon Bay test facility supports the aircraft and operational equipment used to develop and validate our delivery systems. As a Logistics Specialist, you will own onsite inventory control and material flow so teams have the right hardware, in the right condition and location, when testing and maintenance require it.

You will work hands-on across receiving, inventory systems, replenishment, staging, and returns. Excellent execution means trusted inventory records, early shortage prevention, and material availability that avoids preventable interruptions to test-fleet work.

What You'll Do

Own daily inventory control for aircraft, Droids, service parts, test equipment, and operational supplies at the Half Moon Bay test facility.
Receive, inspect, and put away inbound material, verifying purchase orders and transfers against part numbers, quantities, serial or lot controls, condition, and documentation.
Execute ERP/WMS transactions, maintain location and traceability data, perform cycle counts, and investigate inventory discrepancies through resolution.
Monitor demand and inventory levels; initiate replenishment, reordering, escalation, or expediting before shortages affect test or maintenance work.
Pick, stage, issue, and deliver parts and kits to onsite teams while maintaining accurate material transactions.
Process test-fleet hardware returns, including identification, segregation, system status, documentation, packaging, and routing to repair, suppliers, engineering, or central inventory.
Coordinate transfers and outbound shipments; partner with Test Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, Quality, Planning, and Logistics to identify material risks early.

What You'll Bring

2+ years of experience in inventory control, warehouse operations, logistics, material handling, or a comparable operational environment.
Experience using an ERP, WMS, or comparable inventory system for receiving, inventory movements, cycle counts, material issues, and returns.
Working knowledge of receiving, put-away, replenishment, inventory accuracy, shipping, and reverse-logistics processes.
Careful judgment when handling time-sensitive, serialized, high-value, or configuration-controlled hardware.
Ability to independently identify material risks, resolve discrepancies, and carry issues through to closure.
Clear written and verbal communication with operations, maintenance, engineering, supply chain, and external logistics partners.
Ability to work onsite in Half Moon Bay, CA, across warehouse, maintenance, and test environments; meet approved physical requirements; and reprioritize for critical test-fleet material needs.
