REPAIR TECH

: The Home Audio Repair Technician plays a critical role in optimizing the lifecycle and quality of our pre-owned consumer audio inventory.

Whether you are early in your repair career with strong fundamental skills or a seasoned pro, this role offers room to grow. You will work both independently and collaboratively to handle the full lifecycle of assigned gear: conducting initial intake and diagnostics, performing component-level bench testing and repairs, managing parts and repair queues, and documenting all updates in our ticketing system to ensure inventory listings stay current and units are promptly brought back to market.
