Field Service Technician - San Francisco Bay Area

The Role Our high performing team is growing. We are seeking an experienced Field Services Technician to serve as technical authority for our mission‑critical parking and transit ecosystems across California and the broader U.S. This isn’t a “9-to-5” desk job; it is a high‑octane, autonomous role for a technician who thrives on complex software‑hardware integration and is ready to own the road. You will manage a mobile inventory and a company‑issued vehicle, ensuring the digital and physical heartbeat of our cities never skips a beat. How To Make An Impact We expect you to: Installation: Execute high‑precision deployment and decommissioning of multi‑space parking kiosks and transit hubs, ensuring zero‑footprint removals and seamless, calibrated installations that meet strict city infrastructure specifications. Systems Integration & Logic: Beyond hardware swaps, you will perform diagnostics on API connectivity, network latencies, and firmware synchronization to ensure seamless data flow. Advanced Troubleshooting: Serve as the product expert on‑site, resolving complex electrical faults and software glitches in 12v DC systems, wireless modems, and mainboard logic. Operational Resilience: Support local colleague in rigorous preventative maintenance protocols on card readers and solar‑integrated systems, predicting failures before they impact the public. Strategic Logistics: Maintain a high‑functioning mobile "command center" (service vehicle), managing sophisticated spare parts inventory with precision. Technical Reporting: Utilize tablets/laptops to document fixes, maintaining a parts inventory, communicate with internal teams and provide data‑driven feedback to the development teams. About You You are a high‑level technical "fixer" with a growth mindset and a road‑warrior spirit. You aren’t just comfortable working solo; you prefer the autonomy of the open road and the challenge of navigating new cities. You lead with empathy for the client but maintain a relentless "find a way" attitude when a system goes dark. You are a clear communicator who can translate a "hardware failure" into a "software solution" for stakeholders. The Reality of the Road Regional Mastery: Frequent and regular travel throughout the State of California. National Deployment: Occasional travel to support projects in major cities across the entire U.S. Commitment: This role requires regular overnights and, at times, extended workdays to meet project deadlines and ensure city infrastructure uptime. Your Background Advanced DC Electrical Expertise: Deep experience with 12v DC systems (Marine, Automotive, or Industrial Utilities). Software & Firmware Literacy: Proven ability to navigate UI/UX interfaces, push software updates, and troubleshoot network communication protocols (API/LTE). Mechanical Mastery: Expert‑level ability to deconstruct, diagnose, and rebuild complex electro‑mechanical assemblies. Extreme Outdoor Resilience: Ready to perform in all weather conditions, from urban heat to coastal storms. Physical Power: Must be able to stand for extended durations and frequent lifting up to 75 lbs. Elite Driving Record: A valid driver’s license with a pristine record is mandatory. Compensation and Benefits This San Francisco Area‑based role offers a pay range of $35.00–$36.00 per hour and includes a comprehensive benefits package, currently featuring health, dental, and vision insurance coverage. The schedule consists of approximately 50% local support and 50% travel to support other Arrive customers. #J-18808-Ljbffr EasyPark
