Aalo Atomics is pioneering factory-fabricated microreactors to deliver affordable, scalable, and reliable nuclear power. The company is based in Austin, TX, and is rapidly growing as it works to deploy the world's first fleet of advanced microreactors.
You will lead and scale core supply chain execution capabilities across Receiving, Inventory Control, Materials Storage and Routing, Production Kitting and Point of Use support, and Inbound and Outbound Logistics Operations. This role is responsible for building the systems, processes, and team needed to support reliable material flow, inventory integrity, and operational readiness across operations in Austin and Idaho Falls.
This is initially a working manager role. In the near term, you will work hands-on in receiving, material handling, and inventory operations to build deep familiarity with Aalo's processes, systems, and nuclear quality requirements. However, the long-term expectation is to design, standardize, scale, and lead the operation. You will establish robust processes, implement effective controls, develop team capability, and create the operating system that enables the function to perform consistently as the company grows.
Key responsibilities include:
**Receiving:** Lead receiving operations across Austin and Idaho Falls, ensuring incoming materials are received accurately, efficiently, and in compliance with company procedures and quality requirements. Receive, inspect, and process incoming shipments of parts, components, materials, and equipment against purchase orders, packing slips, and engineering documentation. Verify quantities, part numbers, revisions, and condition of all incoming goods, and identify discrepancies, damage, or nonconformances immediately. Perform and document incoming inspection steps in accordance with quality procedures, capturing certifications, material test reports, certificates of conformance, and pedigree or traceability documentation. Accurately enter and update inventory records in the ERP or inventory management system. Tag, label, and route received materials to inspection, quarantine, stock, or point-of-use as appropriate. Coordinate closely with procurement, quality, and engineering teams to resolve receiving discrepancies and expedite critical materials.
**Inventory Control:** Lead inventory control processes to ensure high levels of inventory accuracy, transaction discipline, and traceability. Maintain accurate inventory records through disciplined system transactions, timely issue resolution, and strong control of material movements. Plan and execute cycle counts, physical inventories, and reconciliation efforts to uphold inventory integrity. Investigate inventory discrepancies, determine root causes, and implement corrective and preventive actions. Work closely with Finance to ensure inventory records align with accounting requirements, valuation practices, and reporting expectations. Support audits by maintaining accurate inventory records, transaction histories, and material control documentation. Develop and improve inventory control procedures that support lot control, serialization, status identification, and traceability requirements.
**Materials Storage and Routing:** Lead material handling operations to ensure proper storage, protection, movement, and control of materials throughout the facility. Maintain organized, clean, and properly controlled receiving and storage areas, including environmentally controlled and security-controlled storage where required. Establish and improve standard processes for material routing from receiving through inspection, storage, production, and shipping. Ensure materials are stored in ways that preserve quality, maintain traceability, and support efficient retrieval and movement. Drive strong warehouse discipline and visual control practices to improve space utilization, material flow, and operational reliability. Handle materials safely using pallet jacks, forklifts, and hand tools, while ensuring adherence to all safety and material-handling protocols.
**Production Kitting and Point of Use:** Develop and execute production kitting processes to ensure accurate, timely, and complete material delivery to production lines. Coordinate with production planning and manufacturing teams to understand kit requirements, delivery schedules, and quality expectations. Maintain point-of-use material staging areas to support production efficiency and material traceability.
**Inbound and Outbound Logistics:** Manage operational execution of inbound and outbound shipments and close coordination with logistics providers and internal stakeholders. Partner with Supply Chain Managers to provide guidance on strategic supplier management, supplier performance, and issue resolution.
**Requirements:**
- Based in the United States
- Willing to work on-site in Austin, TX
- Ability to work in warehouse, receiving, and manufacturing environments
- Ability to stand, walk, bend, lift, and move materials consistent with operational requirements
- Ability to use pallet jacks, forklifts, and standard material handling tools, subject to training and certification requirements
