About Vital Lyfe

At Vital Lyfe, we are on a mission to solve global water scarcity by creating innovative, desalination systems. This is an opportunity to join a passionate, multidisciplinary team tackling one of the world’s most critical challenges

Mission

Develop and scale a high performing, resilient supplier network aligned with cost, capacity, delivery, and quality targets
Lead supplier qualification, onboarding, and technical assessments, including DFM reviews, process flow validation, and QMS audits
Define and enforce technical and quality standards across new product introduction (NPI) and production
Partner with internal engineering teams to ensure suppliers fully understand and can meet tight part, assembly, and metrology requirements

Collaborate directly with vendors to solve recurring issues and drive process-level improvements
Conduct performance audits and risk reviews, implementing corrective actions where needed
Provide on-site technical support as needed to ensure supplier processes are dialed for manufacturability, stability, and spec compliance
Monitor supplier metrics and trend data to proactively mitigate risks and improve operational performance
Source and evaluate new suppliers with unique capabilities in materials, fabrication, and metrology
Build and enforce scalable supplier governance and escalation frameworks from scratch
Thrive in ambiguity build process where none exists, and push for excellence where it does

Bachelor’s in Engineering (Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial or equivalent).
Hands on mindset: comfortable designing the process and also working with operators & equipment to validate and refine.
Strong problem solving skills, ability to operate in ambiguous/higher-growth environment, clear communicator across teams.
Experience in supplier quality, NPI, or manufacturing engineering in hardware, climate tech, or industrial systems
Familiarity with QMS tools and standards (e.g., ISO 9001, PPAP, FAI, Cpk, PFMEA)

Preferred:

Excellent communication and problem solving skills in fast-paced, cross-functional environments
A track record of owning hard problems end-to-end and getting things done under real-world constraints
A builder’s mindset and a systems-level view of manufacturing
Experience in a hardware startup or mission-driven organization.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS (WITH OR WITHOUT REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION)

Hands on work on development and production hardware.
Long periods of standing, crouching and walking.
Lifting up to 50 lbs.

Why Join Vital Lyfe?

Work on high impact problems with global relevance
Help scale breakthrough technology in water security and climate resilience
Early ownership in a high growth, engineering led startup
Join a tight knit, mission driven team in a fast paced environment
Build long term career equity as we grow
