By radically lowering launch costs and increasing flight cadence, we're helping create a truly scalable space industry. Our team is mission-driven, collaborative, and empowered to take ownership of their work. If you want to work alongside some of the most dedicated and talented people on Earth, we'd love to have you join us. Reusable systems are the future of connecting Earth and space - and that future depends on removing inefficiency at every step. As an Inventory and Logistics Technician at our Kent site, you won't just move materials. You'll help redefine how tools, parts, and information flow through the factory. This is a role for someone who sees a process and asks whether every step earns its place. Someone who spots waste before it compounds and builds smarter, faster, more automated ways of operating. You'll leverage technology, data, and process innovation to reduce wasted motion, improve visibility, and accelerate production across the site. If you're the kind of person who leaves every system a little better than you found it, this role was built for you.
