Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology, AI, autonomy, and computer vision. The Rocket Motor Systems (RMS) team designs and manufactures solid rocket motors and propulsion systems for next-generation missiles and munitions, running a vertically integrated energetics operation from propellant chemistry through case fabrication, assembly, and test.
The Inventory Analyst will manage and optimize inventory levels to support production schedules while minimizing costs of scrap, excess, and obsolescence. This role oversees inventory health across materials, quality, and production—including energetic and shelf-life-sensitive chemicals unique to a rocket motor environment. You will analyze usage trends, lead cycle counting programs, monitor variances, and resolve discrepancies to ensure inventory integrity in a fast-paced, highly regulated environment.
Key responsibilities include:
- Oversee electronic cycle counts and physical audits to maintain near-perfect record accuracy
- Investigate root causes of inventory variances and implement corrective actions in ERP and WMS systems
- Monitor shelf-life-sensitive materials and ensure compliance with AS9100 Quality Management System safety and quality storage regulations
- Generate KPI reports and visual dashboards to track inventory health, aging stock, and transaction records
- Collaborate with manufacturing stakeholders to support operational continuity and efficient forecasting and planning
- Track shelf-life and expiration on energetic and hazardous materials (ammonium perchlorate, propellant chemicals, controlled CHM-coded consumables) and flag lots approaching removal, repack, or retest dates
- Reconcile physical counts to system of record (Odoo/Oracle), measure count accuracy against fiscal-year targets, and drive root-cause corrections
- Analyze consumption trends and clear-to-build coverage against active work orders to surface shortages and long-lead risk
- Monitor MRB and quarantine aging, dormant, and dead stock; warehouse capacity utilization; and recommend disposition or consolidation
- Validate inventory striped to correct project and task charge codes; flag material at risk from expired project dates
- Build and maintain self-service dashboards and reports for production, quality, and program teams
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Data Science, or related field (or equivalent professional experience)
- Typically 3–5+ years in inventory control within an aerospace or high-tech manufacturing environment
- Proficiency in Oracle and Odoo (highly preferred), advanced Excel (PivotTables, VLOOKUPs), and potentially SQL for data mining
- Familiarity with AS9100 standards and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) regulations for management of government property
- Experience managing parts with unique serial numbers or traceability requirements, where a single error can halt production
- Experience identifying inefficiencies in material flow and driving Lean or Six Sigma initiatives
- Comfort handling data on hazardous or energetic materials with strict segregation, storage, and shelf-life requirements; familiarity with hazmat or magazine storage is a plus
- Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience in a defense, aerospace, propulsion, or energetics manufacturing environment
- Hands-on experience building dashboards or reports from ERP data (Odoo, Oracle) or a BI/analytics platform
- Familiarity with Oracle project and task charge structures and inventory project striping
- Track record of improving inventory KPIs (count accuracy, aging, putaway lead time, capacity utilization, on-time kitting)
