Job description

The role:

We’re looking for a hands‑on Board Repair Supervisor to lead our repair bench. You’ll oversee daily repair operations, mentor technicians, and personally handle the most difficult diagnostic cases. This role suits someone who enjoys tracing a fault down to a single component and who can build a team that does the same consistently.

What you will be doing:

• Supervise and schedule a team of repair technicians, assigning work based on priority, complexity, and turnaround commitments.
• Perform and oversee component‑level troubleshooting of controller, drive, power supply, and communication boards using schematics (or without them, through reverse engineering when schematics aren’t available).
• Serve as the escalation point for difficult failures, including intermittent faults, microcontroller and network‑interface problems, and power‑stage failures.
• Develop and maintain repair procedures, test protocols, and a knowledge base of common failure modes by board type.
• Build and maintain test fixtures and load‑testing setups to verify repairs before boards ship.
• Source replacement and obsolete components, working with distributors and evaluating suitable substitutes.
• Enforce quality standards, including ESD handling, soldering workmanship and documented final testing.
• Track key metrics such as turnaround time, first‑pass yield, and warranty returns, and drive improvements.
• Train new technicians and develop the skills of the existing team.

What do you bring:

Required

• 5+ years of component‑level electronics repair experience, including at least 2 years in a lead or supervisory role.
• Strong analog and digital circuit knowledge, including power electronics (IGBTs, gate drivers, SMPS), microcontrollers, and industrial communication interfaces.
• Proficiency with oscilloscopes, DMMs, bench power supplies, component testers, and thermal cameras.
• Advanced through‑hole and SMD soldering and rework skills
• Ability to read schematics and to trace circuits on undocumented boards.
• Strong organizational skills and clear written and verbal communication.

Preferred

• Experience with elevator controllers, VFDs, or other industrial control equipment.
• Diploma or degree in Electronics Engineering Technology or a related field.
• Familiarity with EEPROM and firmware reading and programming tools.

What We Offer

• Total compensation range: $90,000 to $120,000
• Company pension
• Dental care
• Disability insurance
• Employee assistance program
• Extended health care
• Life insurance
• On‑site parking
• Paid time off
• Vision care
• Bonus plans for all positions
• Wellness Program
