    • Efficiently disassemble tested systems into individual spare parts, ensuring proper inventory preparation
    • Properly tag, bag, and document all tested and approved spare parts according to company standards
    • Assist various operational teams in testing and configuring server, storage and networking product lines in support of service and sales
    • Actively collaborate and contribute within a fast-paced, team-oriented environment
    • Contribute to the development of processes to increase throughput efficiency
    • Partner with the planning and procurement groups to resolve parts-related queries and support supply chain efficiency
    • Investigate specific hardware or software issues to identify root causes, develop alternative solutions, and participate in post-mortem analysis meetings with L3 Support and R&D teams
    • Perform other duties and technical tasks as assigned to support business needs
    • Continuously develop technical skills and expertise

    What We're Looking For:

    • High School Diploma or equivalent
    • A personal interest in tinkering with electronics, building computers, working on vehicles, or understanding of how mechanical or electronic systems work
    • Ability to tackle new technical problems and equipment
    • Ability to be nimble and work in a fast-paced, changing environment
    • Ability to lift and move equipment up to 50 lbs

    Bonus Points:

    • 1-3 years of experience repairing, assembling, testing, or troubleshooting electronics, computers, servers, or similar equipment
