About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and analytical Inventory Analyst to drive physical stock accuracy, lead cycle count programs, and optimize inventory workflows.

Analyze variance trends to identify root causes and adapt counting strategies.
Lead physical inventory reconciliation for internal control reviews and external compliance audits.
Evaluate conflicting data and establish audit trails in the ERP/WMS system.
Oversee the end-to-end MRB process.
Partner independently with Quality, Engineering, and Purchasing to analyze non-conforming stock, establish root causes, and execute complex dispositions for scrap, rework, or obsolete revision parts.
Design, organize, and refine bin, shelf, and rack locations to maximize stockroom efficiency, velocity, and 5S compliance.
Research complex inventory discrepancies, evaluate system transactional histories, and devise solutions where standard guidelines may not fully apply.
Monitor stock levels across raw materials, WIP, and finished goods to identify anomalies, prevent shortages, minimize overages, and maintain optimum balance.
Provide technical guidance to adjacent teams, supporting kitting workflows and ad-hoc logistics operations during high-demand production phases.
Monitor inventory levels across all inventory to ensure adequate stock levels and minimize shortages and overages.
Provide ad-hoc support for kitting activities and minor logistics functions as operational demands require.

Requirements

Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, operate ladders or reach trucks safely, and work on your feet for extended periods in a dynamic environment.
Attention to detail, basic numerical literacy, and organizational discipline.
Willingness to support flexible schedules, non-standard shifts, overtime, or weekends as dictated by production needs.
