- Diagnose electrical/electronic issues and replace or repair components as needed
- Assemble and configure systems using technical documentation and design drawings

- Maintain accurate testing, service, repair, and maintenance records
- Collaborate with internal technical teams to ensure successful project completion
- Travel approximately 25–35% to customer and project sites
Qualifications
Required:
- Hands-on experience with electrical and/or electronic systems and components
- Experience troubleshooting electrical/electronic issues
- Ability to read and understand technical documentation, schematics, or design drawings
- Comfortable using hand tools and electrical test equipment
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality and safety
- Customer-focused, self-motivated, and willing to learn
Preferred:
- Field service or installation experience
- Experience with low-voltage electrical systems, security systems, CCTV, or similar technologies
- Experience testing finished electrical/electronic products
- Industrial or manufacturing environment experience
- Mechanical aptitude is a plus
Why Join?
This role offers a mix of hands-on electrical/electronics testing, field service, troubleshooting, and customer interaction. You’ll work with innovative security technology, gain exposure to complex systems, and have opportunities to expand your technical skills in a collaborative environment.
