Description
Warehouse General Manager / Operations Manager
Arlington, TX | Full-Time | On-Site| Exempt| Competitive + Bonus Potential
Chip 1 Exchange USA is a global independent distributor of electronic components, semiconductors, and ICs. Our Arlington, TX Distribution Center is a high-volume fulfillment hub — and we're looking for a hands-on operations leader who understands that in the independent distribution vertical, quality control isn't a department. It's a discipline.
* THE DIFFERENTIATOR WE'RE HIRING FOR *
Every independent distributor has its own QC approach — but the best are defined by their commitment to it. The candidate we hire must have real, hands-on experience with component quality control and risk mitigation in the independent electronics distribution space. This is the single most weighted factor in our selection process.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
Quality Control & Risk Mitigation — Priority #1
• Own the facility's end-to-end QC program: inbound inspection, date code verification, authenticity checks, and counterfeit risk mitigation
• Working knowledge of industry standards (AS9120, IDEA-STD-1010, SAE AS6081) and third-party testing relationships (X-ray, electrical, decapsulation)
• Maintain QC documentation: inspection records, NCMRs, supplier scorecards, and corrective action logs
• Train all warehouse staff on QC awareness and instill quality as a team-wide ownership mindset
Warehouse Operations & Inventory
• Oversee receiving, putaway, picking, packing, kitting, shipping, and returns — start to finish
• Lead inventory accuracy programs: cycle counts, lot tracking, date code control, and WMS best practices
• Maintain 5S standards, space utilization, and equipment maintenance across the facility
People, Safety & Performance
• Lead, develop, and retain a warehouse team of supervisors, leads, and associates
• Champion a zero-incident safety culture; OSHA compliance, audits, and incident management
• Track and report KPIs: throughput, order accuracy, on-time shipment, QC pass rates, and labor productivity
• Manage carrier relationships (parcel, LTL, FTL, air) and cross-functional collaboration with Sales, Procurement, and HQ
