The Mission

At Springboard Automation, we don't just "hang TVs." We integrate invisible technology into the world's most beautiful homes. We are looking for a technician who can't stand a messy rack and who views a perfectly terminated closet as a work of art.

The Perks & Benefits

• Excel Here. Earn More: People who do excellent work should have every opportunity to earn as much as possible.

• The Gear: You'll get your own set of tools, professional apparel, and an employee purchase program at cost.
• Full Benefits: 401k with match, medical/dental/vision, and PTO + holidays.

• Install TVs, speakers, motorized shades, lighting control, and networking equipment
• Build and wire AV racks with precision
• Terminate and label low-voltage wiring cleanly
• Assist with programming and final system commissioning
• Troubleshoot issues on-site and solve problems professionally
