Inventory & Logistics Coordinator

Tandem PV is a U.S.-based solar technology company specializing in the development and manufacture of perovskite-silicon tandem solar panels. The company combines thin-film perovskite layers with conventional silicon modules to produce panels that have achieved 30% efficiency, representing approximately 40% more power output in the same physical footprint compared to standard silicon panels. Tandem PV targets utility-scale solar infrastructure and is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing solar supply chains. The company's mission centers on restoring U.S. leadership in solar manufacturing and delivering a generational step change in solar performance at a time when global energy demand is surging due to AI growth, electrification, and energy security needs. Conventional silicon solar technology has approached its practical efficiency limits, and Tandem PV positions its perovskite-silicon tandem approach as the critical next phase of solar evolution, manufactured domestically in the United States. What distinguishes Tandem PV is its combination of industry-leading efficiency, demonstrated long-term durability — with accelerated testing showing less than 1% annual degradation — and a lower total cost of ownership by generating more energy per panel without significantly increasing cost per watt. The company holds a growing portfolio of patents covering perovskite-layer technology, system design, and durability innovations, and has attracted backing from notable investors including Eclipse. Former U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm has joined its board, underscoring the company's strategic significance in clean energy.

At Tandem PV, we are a team of people who are passionate about building a more sustainable world by bringing cost effective solar panels onto the market. We’re scaling metal-halide perovskite solar technology to make best-in-class mechanically stacked tandem modules.   We have built efficient, durable cells, monolithic multi-cell submodules, and packaged modules with our scalable, low-cost process. Our next focus is expanding our team to work in our new pilot manufacturing facility.

Job Summary:

As an Inventory & Logistics Coordinator, you will own the accuracy and flow of the materials that keep our pilot manufacturing line running — from setting up and replenishing consumables to fulfilling the team’s day-to-day inventory requests. You’ll be the owner of our inventory records in our ERP system, turning real-time stock data into smart reorder decisions and clear reporting. It’s a hands-on role that blends systems and reporting with the physical work of receiving, organizing, and moving material through the warehouse.

To be great at this role, you will have:

• Ownership of inventory accuracy — you keep physical stock and ERP records in lockstep through disciplined transactions and cycle counts

• A procurement mindset — you set up, source, and reorder consumable materials before the line ever runs short

• Reporting instincts — you turn stock data into clear, regular inventory reports and reorder recommendations

• A service orientation — you triage and fulfill inventory requests quickly so the team stays unblocked

• Command of logistics end to end — receiving, shipping, and coordinating carriers and deliveries

• Readiness to do the physical work — loading and unloading trucks and keeping the warehouse organized

• Strong organization and attention to detail in a fast-moving pilot manufacturing environment

• A systems-first approach — you’d rather fix the process in the ERP than firefight the same problem twice

Qualifications:

• 3+ years in inventory management, materials/warehouse coordination, or supply chain operations

• Hands-on experience with an ERP or inventory management system (e.g., Odoo, NetSuite, SAP, or Fishbowl) for stock transactions, reordering, and reporting

• A track record of maintaining inventory accuracy through cycle counts and disciplined receiving

• Experience setting up and managing consumable, MRO, or raw-material replenishment with vendors

• Comfort working in spreadsheets and pulling, analyzing, and reporting inventory data

• Able to lift up to ~50 lbs and safely load/unload trucks and operate (or learn to operate) a pallet jack or forklift

• Highly organized, dependable, and able to prioritize when several requests land at once

• High school diploma or equivalent; able to work on-site full-time in the Bay Area

Preferred Experience:

• Direct experience with Odoo (Inventory, Purchasing, or Manufacturing modules)

• Background in a manufacturing, hardware, or lab/production setting

• Forklift certification and experience handling or shipping hazardous materials (we work with chemicals and specialty consumables)

Tandem PV uses perovskite & silicon mechanically-stacked tandems to upgrade silicon solar panels, sharply decreasing installed systems costs, significantly increasing module manufacturing profit margins, and opening up vast new solar markets in the US and worldwide. TPV was co-founded by Stanford PhDs Colin Bailie and Chris Eberspacher; is advised by industry experts from Corning, First Solar, Vivint Solar, and Kateeva; has raised more than $50M in Series A funding. We were recently recognized as the Best Pre-Commercial Venture of 2025 by the Industry Growth Forum (IGF)

We are a team of people who are passionate about building a more sustainable world by delivering a new generation of solar panels to the market. We are constantly growing and are always looking for dedicated, hardworking, and empathetic teammates.
