Planner, Supply Chain​/Logistics, Inventory Control & Analysis

This role leads inventory strategy, configuration management, and production planning for advanced robotic manipulation systems in a high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment. You will design and own the planning and inventory control infrastructure that supports products moving from early development through full-rate production across multiple facilities. Working at the intersection of engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing operations, you will translate demand signals into executable build plans and ensure that when engineering is ready to build, production can execute reliably and on time.

This position offers direct impact on the scalability of next-generation robotics platforms and provides significant exposure to cutting‑edge automation technologies.

• Develop and enforce inventory control policies and procedures, and drive inventory accuracy through structured cycle count programs, root cause analysis, and corrective actions.
• Optimize inventory levels and reduce excess and obsolete (E&O) material through proactive lifecycle management, disposition strategies, and demand‑aligned replenishment.
• Design and implement new inventory strategies that scale with program growth, evolving manufacturing requirements, and multiple product lines.
• Own Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and Manufacturing Change Orders (MCOs) across supported programs, ensuring accurate and timely implementation into production.
• Build and maintain Manufacturing Bills of Materials (BOMs) with full configuration accuracy and traceability across all robotic manipulation systems.
• Set up and maintain Bills of Distribution and Sourcing Rules, partnering with engineering on master data, routings, and resource rates to ensure accurate planning inputs.
• Create finite capacity production schedules that account for equipment, labor, and material constraints to maximize throughput and meet build commitments.
• Develop detailed build schedules and release work orders through their complete lifecycle, with particular emphasis on early New Product Introduction (NPI) programs.
• Develop and maintain short‑term and medium‑term capacity models, identify bottlenecks through constraint analysis, and drive actions to resolve them.
• Perform sequence optimization to minimize changeovers and maximize manufacturing throughput in a high‑mix environment.
• Build and maintain KPI dashboards to track inventory, planning, and schedule performance, and use data‑driven insights to guide decisions and improvements.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives using Lean and Six Sigma methodologies to enhance planning processes, inventory accuracy, and production efficiency.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with engineering, manufacturing, procurement, and logistics teams to ensure effective supply plan execution and manufacturing readiness.
• Support master production scheduling by performing finite scheduling, releasing work orders, and maintaining accurate capacity models for robotic manipulation systems.
• Lead velocity planning and inventory efforts, including inventory strategy development, replenishment optimization, and E&O management for high‑mix product lines.
• Support NPI planning for next‑generation platforms by creating and maintaining BOMs, managing ECOs/MCOs, and ensuring production readiness for new programs.
• Own root cause corrective action (RCCA) for inventory accuracy, including cycle count program design and systemic accuracy improvements across multiple facilities.
• Participate in daily standups, engineering syncs, and procurement alignment meetings to quickly resolve material, capacity, and configuration issues.
• Prepare and present planning and inventory insights in weekly planning reviews with operations leadership, highlighting risks, constraints, and mitigation plans.

• Bachelor’s degree, or a minimum of 2 years of professional or military experience.
• Knowledge of supply chain management concepts, including forecasting, planning, sourcing, optimization, and logistics, or equivalent experience.
• Experience working in high-volume manufacturing environments, preferably with complex or high‑mix products.
• Experience with reporting and…
