About Corvus

Every physical good spends time in a warehouse, and every warehouse tracks their inventory. Today, nearly 100% of warehouses track their inventory manually using barcode scanners and climbing forklifts.

We're Corvus Robotics. Our fully autonomous Corvus One™ drones use computer vision & robotics to automatically track inventory, improving worker safety and increasing labor efficiency. We believe that data-driven, safe inventory management will optimize the global physical economy and improve economic prosperity for humanity.

What we're seeking

We're looking for a hands-on operations specialist to integrate deeply with our entire production workflow—from manufacturing through deployment. This role is foundational to our physical operations and the ideal candidate will thrive in our fast-moving startup environment while optimizing processes for robotics production & logistics.

The ideal candidate will not only execute daily operational tasks but also actively improve upon them, iterating and streamlining processes to make them scalable, automated, and error-resistant. Over time, your work will become a key pillar in helping us run and grow a robust, resilient production engine.

Specifically, in this role you will:

  • Receive, put away, and kit inventory based on production plans and Bill of Materials (BOM)

  • Maintain and improve internal production tooling and dashboards that track inventory levels, production rate, yield, and other key operational metrics

  • Be well-versed in hardware production processes, materials, finishes, and quality standards

  • Communicate and coordinate with vendors on orders, lead times, and pricing

  • Contribute in developing iterative processes to automate, simplify, and error-proof various stages of production—providing a strong operational backbone for both manufacturing and deployments

This role is in-person in Mountain View, CA. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds, including recent grads and international students. The ideal candidate is organized, driven, and committed to growing & learning quickly.

Must have

  • Experience owning projects (professional and/or academic) that are time-sensitive, operationally heavy, and resource-constrained

  • Demonstrated ability to learn new tasks quickly and proactively—especially in hands-on or fast-paced environments

  • Willingness to roll up your sleeves (sometimes literally) to work with hardware, tools, and components

  • Strong organizational skills in coordinating people, parts, and processes, with attention to detail and awareness of downstream impact

Nice to have

  • Multi-lingual or international background, especially with fluency in spoken and/or written Mandarin

  • Exposure to supply chain, manufacturing, or robotics through coursework, internships, or projects

  • Experience in hands-on work such as visual arts, crafts, woodworking, or other trades
