Inventory Operations Specialist

About Us Chariot Defense is a defense technology company that designs and manufactures a family of power products for the U.S. military and its allies. We believe that credible deterrence of armed conflict and winning if deterrence fails, requires more than just the best drones, sensors, weapons, electronic warfare systems, and command & control capabilities. Those critical components will require sustained electric power in austere and resource-constrained environments. Moreover, military units must be able to turn off the trucks and generators that generate this power to hide and survive. In other words, power generation must be decoupled from power consumption. Chariot Defense’s products enable exactly this capability, allowing U.S. and allied militaries to be more lethal and survivable. We hope you will join us on this mission.

Escalate discrepancies and documentation gaps as they are identified. Shipping & Logistics Support: Assist in packing and shipping finished goods and spare parts orders. Help coordinate with carriers and the procurement team to support on-time delivery and compliant shipping documentation. What We’re Looking For Extraordinary conscientiousness. You take ownership of your work area and inventory records, committing to accuracy without fail. Reliable and focused in a demanding, fast-paced shop environment. Able to maintain quality and pace through shifting priorities and high-throughput production cycles.
