What the role involves
About Loombotic
Loombotic is bringing wire-harness manufacturing back to America, and automating a job still done almost entirely by hand. Harnesses are the nervous system of every robot, vehicle, and machine, and they stay slow and expensive for one reason: nobody automated them, so the work shipped overseas. We build our own instant-quoting software and our own machines to make harnesses here, and ship a custom one in about a week instead of 6 to 12. Teams building robotics, aerospace, and advanced thermal and data-center hardware rely on us to get custom cables in days, not months.
The role
This isn't a back-room warehouse job. You'll own the material flow that keeps the factory running: receiving parts, verifying shipments, maintaining inventory accuracy, preparing complete kits for harness jobs, staging materials for technicians and automated equipment, and catching shortages before they block production. Harness manufacturing is extremely materials-sensitive - one missing or mislabeled connector, terminal, seal, label, or piece of heat shrink can stop a job. Your job is to prevent that. You'll work closely with production, engineering, purchasing, and operations. The factory only moves fast if the material system is accurate.
What you'll do
Receive inbound materials, components, tools, and supplies; verify deliveries against POs, packing slips, BOMs, and job requirements
Inspect shipments for damage, shortages, wrong parts, or labeling issues
Label, organize, and stock connectors, terminals, wire, seals, housings, heat shrink, labels, and consumables; maintain accurate bin locations, counts, and records
Prepare complete job kits before production starts, verifying correct parts, quantities, revisions, and approved substitutions
Stage materials for technicians, automated equipment, inspection, test, and shipment
Identify shortages, discrepancies, and material risks early, and communicate job-readiness blockers clearly to production, purchasing, and engineering
Support cycle counts, inventory audits, and variance investigations
Handle vendor returns, damaged materials, and nonconforming parts with proper documentation
Maintain receiving paperwork, packing slips, certifications, and material records
Use our software systems to track inventory, kits, shortages, receipts, and job progress accurately
Help build and improve our inventory, receiving, and kitting systems as we scale
You are
Organized, detail-oriented, reliable, and precise under pressure
Serious about accuracy: every part, every label, every bin, every kit
Someone who takes ownership of the material flow and does the hands-on work - receiving, labeling, counting, stocking, kitting, staging
A clear communicator who raises issues early and makes the shift better for everyone around them
Low-ego and happy to do the unglamorous work that needs doing
Always looking for ways to make the process better
Minimum qualifications
High school diploma or equivalent
1+ year in receiving, inventory, warehouse, manufacturing, kitting, or a similar hands-on operations role
Strong attention to detail and organization, and the ability to prioritize across receiving, inventory, and production needs
Able to follow detailed work instructions and use hand tools, labels, scanners, computers, and inventory systems
Able to stand, walk, bend, reach, and move around a production floor for extended periods, and lift up to 50 lbs
Comfortable working full-time on-site in Austin, TX
Legally authorized to work in the U.S. (we're unable to sponsor visas for this role)
Nice to have
2+ years in inventory control, receiving, kitting, warehouse operations, or manufacturing materials
Experience preparing kits for production jobs, and with small-parts inventory (reels, terminals, connectors, hardware, electronics components)
Reading BOMs, drawings, work orders, POs, packing slips, and material requirements
