About the role

You're the person who notices what's missing, fixes it fast, and keeps the environment organized and functional.
That might mean receiving hardware, coordinating a vendor, restocking critical supplies, setting up for a test event, or helping the team stay ahead of blockers before they slow work down.
This is not a pure warehouse manager role and not a traditional logistics-manager job.

Company info

Aurelius Systems is a VC backed defense tech startup building autonomous, edge deployed directed energy systems for counter-UAS. We build laser weapons to shoot down drones.
We're a small team of engineers, former US military operators, and subject matter experts scaling America's directed energy dominance. The first cost effective, reliable and robust laser weapon system.
Our namesake isn't an accident. Marcus Aurelius wrote about doing the work in front of you, every day, without excuses. Henry Ford didn't wait for permission to reinvent manufacturing. That's how we operate, small team, unreasonable output, no hiding behind the unachievable.
