About Vital Lyfe

At Vital Lyfe, we're on a mission to change how the world gets fresh water. We build portable desalination systems that turn seawater and other natural water sources into clean drinking water.

Mission

As a Production Associate, you'll be on the line building the product that makes it happen: assembling components from work instructions, running production equipment, and making sure every unit that leaves our floor is one we're proud of. You'll be part of a fast-moving team at the ground floor of a company scaling quickly, with real room to grow.

You'll work alongside production leads and engineers, and your ideas for making stations safer and faster will be heard.

What You’ll Do

- Operate hand tools, power tools and light production equipment safely

- Inspect parts and finished units for defects; flag and document quality issues

- Package, label and stage finished goods for shipping

- Track materials and consumables at your station and report shortages

- Perform basic equipment cleaning, maintenance and changeovers

- Hit daily production and quality targets as part of a team

- Suggest improvements to stations, workflows and safety practices

- Keep a clean, organized work area (5S) and follow all safety procedures, safety comes first

- Perform other duties and tasks as assigned, and support other teams or areas as business needs require

- High school diploma or GED

- Ability to follow written and verbal work instructions

- Reliable attendance and punctuality

Preferred

- Ability to read basic drawings, parts lists or work instructions

- Experience with hand and power tools

- Basic computer skills (email, Microsoft Office, scanning or inventory systems)

Physical Requirements (with or without reasonable accommodation)

- Lift and carry up to 25 lbs. unassisted

- Work involves standing and walking for extended periods. Suitable seating is provided when the nature of the work reasonably permits.

- Wear required PPE (safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes) in production areas. Required personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety shoes, will be provided or reimbursed by Vital Lyfe.

Schedule

- Day shift, Monday through Friday

- Overtime and occasional weekends may be required based on production needs

- A product people want: Our first product, Access, is a push-button portable system that makes drinking water from seawater and other sources.

- Get in early: We're a small, fast-growing team, so your work shows up in every unit we ship and there's room to grow with the company.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
