Inventory & Warehouse Analyst
General MatterAbout The Company General Matter is enriching uranium in America. Our goal is to design, build, and operate the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services in the United States. Our mission is to restore America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel—fuel that will power AI, advanced manufacturing, critical industries, and the next generation of nuclear reactors. Ultimately, our work will help power national ambitions and enable a high-energy society. We were incubated by Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by top-tier investors. Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production. We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency. Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable. About This Role As Senior Inventory & Warehouse Analyst, you will own inventory accuracy, visibility, and material flow end-to-end across our Paducah manufacturing facility, warehouse, and laydown yard. That covers metal plate, structural steel, pipe, fittings, flanges, valves, welding consumables, and purchased components. This is the site's first dedicated inventory role. You won't inherit someone else's system. You'll build the processes, set the standards, and make sure the right material, with the right paperwork, reaches the right work order on the planned date. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for someone who is both analytical and hands-on. You should be as comfortable building a shortage forecast from a BOM as you are walking the yard to track down a heat number. You'll work closely with Purchasing, Engineering, Project Management, Production, Quality, and Finance, and your work will directly decide whether fabrication stays on schedule for a facility of national importance. If you seek high impact and are excited by fast-paced, intense, Skunkworks-style projects, we encourage you to apply to join our team. Responsibilities Inventory Planning & Analysis Forecast material needs from project schedules, build plans, and bills of material (BOMs); set min/max levels, reorder points, and safety stock; flag shortages early through MRP review. Run ABC/XYZ classification, excess and obsolete (E&O) review, and remnant/drop utilization analysis, and recommend dispositions to Purchasing, Engineering, and Quality. Analyze job-level material cost variance (estimated vs. issued vs. actual) and report root causes to Project Management and Estimating. Apply AI and analytics tools to forecasting, shortage detection, and E&O review, checking results against source data before acting on them. Warehouse, Yard & Material Handling Design storage solutions and optimize warehouse and yard layout, including segregation of carbon, stainless, and alloy materials and controlled areas for safety-related items. Coordinate receiving, kitting, staging, and material movement with Quality on hold/release status; maintain labeling, preservation, and shelf-life control. Keep daily-use consumables (filler metals, abrasives, gases) stocked for production using FIFO/FEFO controls. Nuclear Quality & Traceability Maintain heat/lot traceability, MTRs/CMTRs, certificates of conformance, and PMI status, linked to inventory records and job packages. Control material identification and status (accepted, on hold, rejected, quarantined) from receipt through storage, kitting, and issue, per the GM Quality Assurance Program and 10 CFR Part 70 facility procedures. Support receiving-documentation checks for commercial-grade dedication, and flag suspected nonconformances and counterfeit, fraudulent, or suspect items (CFSI) to Quality. Maintain inventory, receiving, and count records as quality records, and follow export-control requirements for controlled materials, drawings, and records.
