Who We Are

We are changing the norm by being customer-focused, technology-led. viaPhoton builds custom-engineered fiber optic solutions that power AI infrastructure, data centers, and 5G networks for some of the biggest names in tech. In five years we've grown to a team of 200+ and 4x'd our revenue in the last year alone, and we're just getting started. We're looking for dependable, hardworking people who take pride in their work and want to grow with us.

About the Role

You'll be the critical link between our inventory and the production floor. This is hands-on, fast-paced warehouse work: you'll pick and stage the right materials for each production order, operate forklifts and pallet jacks, and keep accuracy and safety high so production never slows down.

• Read production and work orders and pick the right materials in the correct quantity, using Odoo and Slack to locate them
• Stage picked material in the correct area and document every pick accurately
• Safely operate forklifts, pallet jacks, and other material handling equipment
• Inspect picks for damage or shortages, follow FIFO/FEFO, and report inventory discrepancies to management
• Keep your work area clean, organized, and compliant with OSHA and company safety standards, and support the team with restocking and loading as needed

What You'll Bring

• Are able to lift, carry, and move heavy loads (often 50 lbs or more) and bend, stoop, and reach frequently
• Bring high accuracy to meet order accuracy targets of 99% or better
• Can keep pace and meet productivity goals in a fast-paced environment
• Have strong safety awareness, including lockout/tagout and safe operating procedures
• Are comfortable with RF scanners, warehouse management systems, and tools like Odoo and Slack (a plus)
• Have a high school diploma or equivalent
