About
the Role This role is for a highly organized, hands-on problem-solver eager to build a global logistics system from scratch. We are a rapidly growing startup, and our logistics processes are a "wild west." We need an architect who will write the playbook, establish all Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and take complete ownership of how our critical parts and people move across the globe. If you are hungry, wildly organized, and excited to bring order to chaos, bring your toolbox and build something incredible with us.
Responsibilities: Architect the Global Playbook: Design a scalable, highly organized system for tracking parts moving seamlessly between our four global locations (Camas, Bellevue, San Francisco, and Asia). Manage Heavy Freight & Shipping: Own the full lifecycle of complex physical shipments. This includes coordinating with major carriers (DHL, FedEx) to safely and efficiently move delicate and massive equipment. International Customs Compliance: Master global shipping nuances. Ensure high-value equipment (e.g., $250,000 prototypes) is correctly valued, flagged with the right customs codes, and tracked flawlessly to eliminate international bottlenecks. Coordinate Complex Group Travel: Act as the logistical anchor for the Hardware Operations team, managing administrative coordination for group travel, including flights, hotels, and on-the-ground logistics for 12+ engineers traveling for prototyping sprints in locations like Asia. Collaborate and Iterate: Work directly with ops and hardware leadership to refine processes and ensure flawless execution across the entire team. Required
