Materials Handler (Manufacturing)
About The Position
We are hiring an experienced, high-accountability Senior Material Handler who understands urgency, takes ownership of their stockroom, and knows how to keep a manufacturing floor moving without excuses. At Microwave Power Products (MPP), material flow is directly tied to production performance. When inventory is accurate and kits are ready, we ship on time. When it’s not, then production stops. Located in Palo Alto, California, MPP has more than 70 years of RF manufacturing expertise and is now part of TransDigm Group (NYSE: TDG). We operate in a fast-paced aerospace and defense environment where precision, organization, and follow-through matter every day. If you are someone who sees problems before others do — and fixes them — this role is for you. You will own the daily flow of materials from receiving through production delivery. You will maintain inventory integrity inside JDE, execute cycle counts proactively, and resolve discrepancies before they disrupt manufacturing. Production depends on your accuracy. Leadership depends on your reliability.
