Low Voltage Systems Technician

Introduction Wavetronix, the global leader in radar‑based vehicle detection technologies, is seeking a Low Voltage Systems Technician. These systems consist of roadside and cabinet‑based technologies such as radar sensors, cameras, communication devices, power supplies, and surge protection equipment that work together to detect, process, and transmit traffic data. This role focuses on maintaining and supporting internal test sites and development infrastructure where these systems are installed, configured, and evaluated in real‑world environments. As part of the engineering team, the primary focus is enabling product development through reliable field systems used to design, validate, and improve new products. The right individual will have strong technical troubleshooting skills, be comfortable working independently in both field and office environments, and be capable of managing physical systems, networking, and device configuration. This individual will work closely with engineering and product teams across multiple projects to prioritize and execute field‑related work, ensuring that systems used for development and testing remain reliable and effective. This role will travel to clients and intersections within the region about once a week. When not on travel, this role will be required to be onsite in our Springville office. Short‑Term Success (First 6 Months) Independently maintain assigned test sites used for engineering development, ensuring high uptime and reliability Diagnose and resolve common hardware, networking, and configuration issues without requiring engineering intervention Successfully perform field installations including device mounting, cabling, and system configuration Maintain accurate documentation of site configurations, issues, and changes Demonstrate the ability to configure and maintain mobile test platforms (test vehicles) used for development and validation Build strong working relationships with engineering and product teams and prioritize work across multiple projects Long‑Term Success (First Year) Be the primary owner of test site reliability, minimizing downtime and proactively addressing issues before escalation Significantly reduce the need for engineering teams to engage in field troubleshooting and maintenance activities Independently plan and execute site maintenance and upgrade efforts based on engineering priorities Own the readiness, configuration, and effectiveness of mobile test platforms as reliable, repeatable testing environments Identify recurring field issues and provide clear, actionable feedback to engineering to improve system robustness Contribute to improving field processes, installation practices, and system validation approaches Background and Experience Bachelor’s degree in a technical field plus 10 years of experience in Quality Assurance, with a strong track record of leading QA teams and managing comprehensive QA programs. OR 15+ years of progressive experience in Quality Assurance, including demonstrated leadership of QA teams and ownership of end‑to‑end QA programs. Additional Consideration We recognize that great experience doesn’t always fit neatly into a checklist. If you believe you have strong, proven expertise in Quality Assurance leadership, program management, and the core competencies outlined above—but do not meet every listed requirement or year of experience—we still encourage you to apply. We value depth of experience, impact, and results, and will thoughtfully review all qualified applicants.
