Robotics Lab Inventory & Materials Coordinator

About Maven

Maven Robotics designs, builds, and deploys intelligent robotics for logistics and manufacturing. Maven is building the first general-purpose robotics system for industrial work. Our mission is to activate autonomous labor at scale and build toward infinitely elastic industrial capacity. We’re a team of engineers, researchers, and operators who have spent our careers working on the hardest problems in AI, robotics, engineering, and autonomous systems. We work at the intersection of advanced research and real-world engineering, turning ideas into prototypes and deployed systems.

At Maven, we build around the realities of industrial work. The robots are designed from first principles for complex physical environments and rigorous commercial standards. They master real tasks that deliver immediate impact, industrial-grade reliability, and intelligence that compounds at scale. We’re growing an ambitious team of people who think in systems, move quickly, and are builders at heart.

About the Role

As a Robotics Lab & Inventory Coordinator at Maven Robotics, you will make sure our engineers have the parts, tools, and lab space they need to keep building. About 70% of the role is inventory management, including receiving, storing, and tracking robot parts, components, tools, and equipment. The other 30% is keeping our robotics facility safe, organized, and ready for daily work. This is a fully on-site, hands-on role ideal for someone who takes pride in creating order and improving how things work
