ABOUT KVM TECHNOLOGIES

KVM Beverage Technologies, Inc. is a San Diego-based company building the future of self-serve craft beverage vending. Our cloud-connected, pay-per-ounce platform runs on commercial kegerator hardware and serves nitro cold brew, kombucha, craft beer, and other premium beverages across multifamily, office, sports, and entertainment venues.

We’re an early-stage company with real traction, and every person on the team has direct impact on how we grow.

WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR

If you've ever felt like your best ideas get buried in approval chains, this role is worth reading.

We're looking for someone who likes working with their hands and takes pride in building things right the first time. You build something, step back, and look at it again before calling it done. Rework bothers you more than it bothers your manager.

This is primarily a build and assembly role. You won’t spend much time sitting at a desk. You will be on your feet, working with your hands, every day.

This role is a genuine stepping stone. We would rather develop someone from within than hire over them. If you have been doing solid hands-on work and feel like nobody has noticed yet, we want to hear from you.

WHAT YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

Build and Assembly (primary focus):

• Assemble KVM hardware units from components according to build specifications and quality standards
• Perform pre-deployment QA checks to verify each unit is functioning correctly before it ships
• Kit and package units for outbound shipment to operators and venue locations
• Identify and flag assembly defects or component issues during the build process
• Follow and help improve build SOPs to reduce rework and increase consistency
• Maintain a clean, organized build workspace and tool inventory at all times

Operations Support (secondary focus):

• Receive and process inbound materials and component deliveries
• Maintain accurate inventory counts and flag reorder needs before stock runs low
• Work with customers on support issues relating to the build
• Support outbound logistics coordination for unit shipments
• Document build completions, QA results, and any issues in the tracking system

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in warehouse work, assembly, manufacturing, appliance or electronics repair, or physical logistics. This means you have personally picked, packed, built, or fixed things. Not managed or coordinated the people who did.
• Comfortable assembling hardware and electrical systems
• High attention to detail and a low tolerance for cutting corners on quality
• Organized by nature: you label things, you put things back, you know where everything is
• Able to follow a build process precisely and identify when something does not look right
• Self-directed and reliable: you do not need someone standing over you to stay on task
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs; this is a physical, hands-on role
• Availability for local San Diego area travel 1 to 2 times per week for deliveries, swaps, or onsite support
• Experience with draft beverage systems including kegs and CO2/N2 regulators is a plus
• Experience in a startup or fast-moving environment is a plus

COMPENSATION & GROWTH OPPORTUNITY

Hourly pay of $24-$31 per hour depending on experience. KVM Beverage Technologies offers a collaborative, high-ownership work environment where your contributions are visible and valued. Additional benefits details will be shared during the interview process.
