Inventory & Logistics Coordinator

Job description

At Tandem PV, we are a team of people who are passionate about building a more sustainable world by bringing cost effective solar panels onto the market. We’re scaling metal-halide perovskite solar technology to make best-in-class mechanically stacked tandem modules. We have built efficient, durable cells, monolithic multi-cell submodules, and packaged modules with our scalable, low-cost process. Our next focus is expanding our team to work in our new pilot manufacturing facility. Job Summary: As an Inventory & Logistics Coordinator, you will own the accuracy and flow of the materials that keep our pilot manufacturing line running — from setting up and replenishing consumables to fulfilling the team’s day-to-day inventory requests. You’ll be the owner of our inventory records in our ERP system, turning real-time stock data into smart reorder decisions and clear reporting. It’s a hands-on role that blends systems and reporting with the physical work of receiving, organizing, and moving material through the warehouse. To be great at this role, you will have: - Ownership of inventory accuracy — you keep physical stock and ERP records in lockstep through disciplined transactions and cycle counts - A procurement mindset — you set up, source, and reorder consumable materials before the line ever runs short - Reporting instincts — you turn stock data into clear, regular inventory reports and reorder recommendations - A service orientation — you triage and fulfill inventory requests quickly so the team stays unblocked - Command of logistics end to end — receiving, shipping, and coordinating carriers and deliveries - Readiness to do the physical work — loading and unloading trucks and keeping the warehouse organized - Strong organization and attention to detail in a fast-moving pilot manufacturing environment - A systems-first approach — you’d rather fix the process in the ERP than firefight the same problem twice Qualifications: - 3+ years in inventory management, materials/warehouse coordination, or supply chain operations - Hands-on experience with an ERP or inventory management system (e.g., Odoo, NetSuite, SAP, or Fishbowl) for stock transactions, reordering, and reporting - A track record of maintaining inventory accuracy through cycle counts and disciplined receiving - Experience setting up and managing consumable, MRO, or raw-material replenishment with vendors - Comfort working in spreadsheets and pulling, analyzing, and reporting inventory data - Able to lift up to ~50 lbs and safely load/unload trucks and operate (or learn to operate) a pallet jack or forklift - Highly organized, dependable, and able to prioritize when several requests land at once - High school diploma or equivalent; able to work on-site full-time in the Bay Area Preferred Experience: - Direct experience with Odoo (Inventory, Purchasing, or Manufacturing modules) - Background in a manufacturing, hardware, or lab/production setting - Forklift certification and experience handling or shipping hazardous materials (we work with chemicals and specialty consumables) Tandem PV uses perovskite & silicon mechanically-stacked tandems to upgrade silicon solar panels, sharply decreasing installed systems costs, significantly increasing module manufacturing profit margins, and opening up vast new solar markets in the US and worldwide.
