Role Summary
The Inventory Manager will own end-to-end inventory for GalaxEye's Ground Floor AIT facility across two streams: (1) build and flight inventory — engineering-model and flight parts, sub-systems, ESD-sensitive components and consumables; and (2) static test equipment held in racks across the labs. The inventory function is currently being set up on an interim basis; this role takes over full ownership of inventory — strategy, systems, and day-to-day control — supported by an Inventory Associate. You will lead the rollout of the Zoho Enterprise inventory system, set the stock policies and replenishment rules that keep the AIT floor running without stoppages, and build the inventory function needed as GalaxEye moves from a single satellite toward constellation-rate production — the facility is designed for up to 20 satellites/year and 5 per quarter.
Key Responsibilities
1. Inventory Strategy & Policy
-
Set standards for storage and handling of flight, EM, and ESD-sensitive stock in the Inventory Room, including clear segregation of flight and non-flight hardware.
2. Inventory System & Traceability
-
Lead the implementation and rollout of the Zoho Enterprise inventory system — item master set-up, migration of existing stock and rack records, user training, and go-live on the floor.
-
Establish lot/serial traceability for flight parts and link material issues (GRN, issue, return) to the build they support, so that build records remain traceable per flight unit.
3. Build & Flight Inventory Stream
-
Oversee receiving, storage, kitting, and issuing of EM/flight parts and ESD-sensitive consumables, with kits delivered to labs per the AIT daily schedule and replenished in real time as parts are consumed.
4. Static Test Equipment Stream
-
Own the master record for static test-equipment racks across all labs (RF/NOVA Lab, ESS Lab, Structures Lab, cleanrooms) — check-in/check-out logging, audit trail, and calibration status.
5. KPIs, Reporting, Audit & Compliance
-
Own inventory KPIs and reporting — inventory accuracy, turnaround, shrinkage, and stock-out incidents — and report them to the Operations Head on a regular cadence.
6. Team Leadership & Cross-Functional Coordination
-
Lead and direct the Inventory Associate in day-to-day inventory tasks — kitting, receiving, reconciliation, and rack records — and set standards for how they are done.
-
Coordinate with the AIT Lead on parts availability, kitting, and shortages — directly for day-to-day needs, or through the Operations Head where required.
