As an IT Support Technician, you will serve as the primary on-site technical resource for our warehouse  operations. You will provide critical hands-on support for a diverse ecosystem of hardware, software, and  networking infrastructure. This role requires a "fixer" mentality—someone who can pivot from debugging a  Linux script to performing mechanical repairs on high-end equipment, all while providing exceptional service to  our operational teams.

How You Will Make An Impact

• Ensure Operational Continuity:  Maintain maximum uptime  for warehouse systems by providing rapid  response to hardware and software failures.

• Empower Operators:  Act as a technical bridge, translating  complex issues into simple solutions for  non-technical staff and DC leadership.

• Continuous Improvement:  Identify recurring technical  bottlenecks and work independently to  implement lasting fixes or process improvements.

Key Responsibilities

• Hardware & Mechanical Support:  Install, configure,  and perform physical repairs on desktops,  touchscreen monitors, printers, and handheld devices. Maintain and troubleshoot specialized  photography equipment, including mechanical components and sensor cleaning.

• Linux & Software Administration:   Support and troubleshoot  Linux-based workstations and  specialized warehouse management software. Execute basic scripting to automate routine tasks.

• Network Maintenance:  Diagnose and resolve connectivity  issues related to Wi-Fi access points, Ethernet cabling, and network peripherals. Assist engineering teams with on-site rack cable            management and port patching.

• Documentation & Training:   Manage the IT ticketing  lifecycle; document all resolutions to build a local  knowledge base. Train warehouse operators on basic troubleshooting to reduce repetitive service  requests.

• Data & Quality Assurance:  Analyze operational data to identify quality trends. Perform testing on new  internal application releases before they go live on the warehouse floor.

• Inventory & Procurement:     Independently manage the lifecycle of IT assets, from placing orders for  supplies to processing RMAs for defective hardware.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience:  1–3 years of technical support experience  in a warehouse, production, or high-volume  environment.

• Linux Proficiency:  Comfort working within a Linux terminal; ability to navigate file systems and run  diagnostic commands.

• Technical Versatility:  Strong mechanical aptitude for disassembling/reassembling hardware and a  solid understanding of TCP/IP networking fundamentals.

• Customer Service Excellence:  Proven ability to remain  calm under pressure and communicate  effectively with users of varying technical skill levels.

• Independence:  A self-starter who can prioritize a high-volume ticket queue without constant  supervision.

• Physical Requirement:  Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and work on a ladder or in tight spaces as required by  hardware placement.

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

What We Offer:

• Consistent, set schedule!
• Competitive pay (we leverage market data). 
• Employee stock purchase plan. 
• PTO + paid holidays. 
• Medical, dental, vision, 401k, life and disability insurance offered.
