## Job description

Quantum Space is redefining mobility and maneuverability in space. Our high-mobility spacecraft platforms support national security, civil, and commercial missions with unmatched flexibility and propulsion capability. We build fast and iterate quickly.

Who We’re Looking For

We are seeking a detail-oriented and organized Inventory Specialist to support inventory control, material management, and production operations for our Ranger spacecraft program at our Tulsa manufacturing center. In this role, you will be responsible for maintaining accurate inventory records, managing the flow of flight and non-flight materials, and ensuring components are properly received, stored, tracked, and delivered to support spacecraft production.

You will play a critical role in establishing and maintaining stockroom operations, kitting processes, inventory controls, and material traceability as our Tulsa facility transitions into rate production. Working closely with manufacturing, production control, supply chain, and quality teams, you will help ensure the right materials are available at the right time, with the proper documentation and traceability required for mission-critical spacecraft hardware.

This position is ideal for an inventory professional who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, takes pride in accuracy and organization, and enjoys building efficient processes that support reliable production operations.

Where You’ll Make an Impact

- Receive, inspect for damage, label, and put away incoming material in the ERP/MRP system
- Maintain a controlled stockroom for flight hardware, including segregation of nonconforming, quarantined, and shelf-life-limited material
- Kit parts to work orders and deliver complete, verified kits to the production floor on schedule
- Perform cycle counts, reconcile discrepancies, and drive root cause on inventory errors
- Maintain lot, serial, and certification traceability for flight hardware
- Issue, transfer, and return material in the ERP system and keep transactions current
- Manage consumables, hardware, and shop supplies with min/max replenishment
- Support physical layout, labeling, and 5S of stockroom and point-of-use storage
- Report shortages, aging inventory, and risks to production control and supply chain

What It Takes

- High school diploma or equivalency certificate
- 2+ years of experience in inventory control, stockroom, or warehouse operations in a manufacturing environment
- Experience with an ERP/MRP system for inventory transactions

Nice-to-Have Experience

- Experience with aerospace or defense inventory control, including serialized and lot-controlled flight hardware
- Experience setting up a new stockroom, kitting process, or warehouse
- Experience with cycle count programs and inventory accuracy improvement
- Experience with barcode and label systems and handheld scanners
- Forklift certification
- Familiarity with AS9100, FOD control, and ESD handling requirements
- Strong attention to detail and comfort working with spreadsheets and ERP reports
- Self-directed and organized, able to keep many open items moving at once

## What You’ll Get

- Ownership – Take responsibility for inventory accuracy, material control, and stockroom operations supporting the Ranger spacecraft program, ensuring critical components are properly tracked and available for production
- Innovation – Help establish and improve inventory management systems, stockroom processes, and material handling practices that support efficient, scalable spacecraft manufacturing
- Impact – Play a direct role in ensuring the availability, traceability, and timely delivery of mission-critical spacecraft components supporting national security, civil, and commercial space missions
- Growth – Join a collaborative, fast-paced manufacturing team where you can expand your inventory management expertise, develop new processes, and help support the growth of our Tulsa production facility
- Compensation – Competitive salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, generous leave, HSA, 401(k) matching, and equity participation.

Location: Tulsa, OK

Base Salary: $21-27 per hour

The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations.

## About Quantum Space

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Quantum Space is building the next generation of advanced, maneuverable spacecraft (the Ranger platform) to disrupt the orbital economy by reducing the cost of operating across every orbit the nation needs to hold, from LEO through GEO and out to cislunar space.
- **Entity Type**: Private (going public via merger with Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. VI; anticipated ticker QSPC)
- **Headquarters**: Rockville, Maryland, United States
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Dr. Kam Ghaffarian (Executive Chairman & Co-founder), Ben Reed (Chief Technology Officer), Adarsh Parekh (President & Co-founder), Kerry Wisnosky (Co-founder)

- **Mission or purpose statement**: To enable the freedom to maneuver in space for the United States, providing a maneuver-first architecture engineered for multi-orbit operations at scale.

## Products & Services
- **Ranger Spacecraft Platform**: A highly maneuverable orbital transfer and servicing platform. Key specs include up to 4,000+ kg of storable hydrazine, multi-mode propulsion, a 15-year operational life, on-orbit refueling capability, and a modular payload architecture. It is designed to reach GEO and beyond at up to 70% lower cost than conventional architectures.
- **Space Domain Awareness**: Providing ubiquitous awareness of activities on orbit, delivering actionable intelligence.
- **Payload Hosting & Data Services**: A standardized platform capable of being configured for any mission at any orbit, hosting government and commercial payloads.

## Market Standing
