Shipping & Receiving Associate

Unique opportunity to help grow our warehouse department. Fun, fast-paced, client-focused, people-centric, inviting, flexible, and rapidly growing. Not overly structured, uncompromising, disengaged, or disconnected.

We are seeking an energetic, reliable, and hard‑working individual to join our warehouse team as a Shipping & Receiving Associate. The ideal candidate is self‑motivated and passionate about warehouse operations, inventory accuracy, and ensuring products move efficiently through the receiving, storage, and shipping process. In this role you will play a critical part in supporting daily logistics operations by receiving incoming materials, maintaining organized inventory, and preparing customer orders for shipment.

While the primary focus is shipping and receiving, you will also provide support to production and product assembly activities as needed to help meet customer demand and business objectives. You will work closely with team members across warehouse and production functions to ensure operational success.

We are a leading provider of wireless, mesh‑networked Internet of Things (IoT) sensors for industrial environments. Our cost‑effective, plug‑and‑play products empower plants of all sizes to conduct predictive and preventative maintenance on mission‑critical and secondary equipment in order to maximize uptime. (I.e. we help with things like getting your Prime packages to you faster!)
