About the Role

We need an Operations Specialist to keep our San Francisco lab and build floor running. You’ll work directly with our Head of Ops to handle the day-to-day operational work that keeps builds, test prep, and the team moving. This is a hands-on, floor-based role. You’re the person who notices what’s missing, fixes it fast, and keeps the environment organized and functional. This is not a pure warehouse manager role and not a traditional logistics-manager job. We’re looking for someone who is practical, proactive, and comfortable doing whatever helps the team execute.

Shipping and receiving for hardware, equipment, and team supplies
Inventory of components, consumables, PPE, safety supplies, and general stock
Vendor coordination, repairs, purchasing follow-ups, and lab support
Field support for range days and test events, including setup, gear, and team needs
Lab and office operations support, including build floor readiness and general facilities coordination
Visitor and demo support for the SF lab

Requirements

2–5 years in operations, office operations, hardware support, receiving, inventory, procurement, military support roles, or a similar hands-on environment
Strong organizational skills, comfortable juggling multiple vendors, shipments, and timelines at once
Comfortable on a hardware floor, including lifting boxes and managing pallets
Ability to carry, lift, or move 50 lbs in and around the warehouse and at the range as needed
Trustworthy, proactive, low-ego, bias to action
Comfortable with ambiguity in an early-stage company still figuring out its processes
Veteran with military supply, logistics, or S-4 background (Nice to Have)
ITAR-aware shipping and receiving experience (Nice to Have)
Notary or basic facilities certifications (Nice to Have)
Experience supporting events or company off-sites (Nice to Have)

Marcus Aurelius wrote about doing the work in front of you, every day, without excuses. Henry Ford didn't wait for permission to reinvent manufacturing. That's how we operate, small team, unreasonable output, no hiding behind the unachievable.
In addition to our San Francisco lab, we've opened a Detroit manufacturing hub and we field test weekly on our own 400-acre private range.
