What is JetZero?
Today’s aircraft contribute around 4% of global CO2 emissions, equivalent to the emissions of 200 million cars. This is only going to increase: Air travel is forecasted to double by 2050, while meaningful efficiency gains using current airplanes have hit a wall.
JetZero is developing a blended-wing body (BWB) aircraft. It uses up to 50% less fuel and will be built to accommodate zero-emission hydrogen propulsion. JetZero is the inevitable solution to sustainable air travel.
The JetZero Team
We are experienced aerospace professionals and engineers, excited about the future. That future will only be possible if we share our vision and what it means to people’s lives: carbon-free flight that' is better for both passengers and airlines around the world.

- Maintain accurate visibility of material availability, quantities, locations, and status.
- Own assigned shortages through resolution, coordinate cross-functional recovery actions, and escalate critical-path issues.
- Resolve missing material, inventory discrepancies, and transaction issues; return excess or unused material to controlled inventory.
Logistics & Material Movement
- Identify and track priority material and shipments through delivery to the required point of use.
- Coordinate inbound, outbound, and intersite material movements, including critical-shipment tracking and expedites.

- Strong Microsoft Excel skills and ability to analyze and communicate material status.
- Ability to interpret BOMs, work orders, part numbers, quantities, and build requirements.
- Strong organization, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills; ability to manage changing priorities.
- Ability to collaborate across Supply Chain, Integration, Engineering, Quality, Planning, Warehouse, and Logistics, and work hands-on in warehouse and aircraft integration environments.
Preferred Qualifications
- Aerospace, aviation, defense, automotive, or complex electromechanical assembly experience.
- Experience with prototype, development, demonstrator, low-rate, or highly dynamic aircraft programs.
- Experience resolving shortages, managing build-critical expedites, and coordinating point-of-use or intersite material movements.
- Experience with cycle counts, discrepancy investigations, and ERP/MRP receiving, movement, allocation, issuance, and return transactions.
