Job Description
Full job description
OVERVIEW
We're hiring a Level I Hardware Test Technician for our enterprise hardware testing operation in Sanford, FL. This is a full-time, on-site role for
someone who's genuinely into computer hardware and wants to work with enterprise servers, storage arrays, and drives at real scale — we
process tens of thousands of enterprise drives every month.
It's a hybrid role: part warehouse, part technical bench. You'll receive and catalog incoming hardware and run our standardized testing and
diagnostic procedures on drives and equipment. If you've built your own homelab, flashed an HBA for fun, or live in a Linux terminal on the
weekend, this is the job that pays you to do more of it — with a clear path to grow into advanced diagnostics work (our Level II role).
You don't need professional experience. You need a real technical foundation, curiosity, and a willingness to work hands-on in an active warehouse.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Receive, label, and catalog incoming enterprise hardware accurately
Run standardized diagnostic and testing procedures on HDDs, SSDs, NVMe, and SAS drives
Load and manage drives across rack-mounted testing servers
Use Linux command-line tools to run tests and read results
Interpret SMART data and test output against our grading standards
Keep clean, detailed records of test results and drive status
Flag drives and failures that fall outside standard procedure for senior techs
Keep your work area clean and organized — it matters here
WHAT YOU'LL WORK WITH
Rack-mounted enterprise storage servers, JBODs, and HBAs
Enterprise HDDs, SSDs, NVMe, and SAS drives across every major manufacturer
Linux, command-line tooling, and SMART diagnostics
Custom testing dashboards and hardware imaging / erasure appliances
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
A genuine technical foundation in computer hardware or IT — self-taught, coursework, or homelab experience all count
Comfort with Linux and the command line, or real eagerness to get there fast
Strong attention to detail and good record-keeping habits
Able to work a physically active warehouse role, including lifting up to 50 lbs
A homelab or hands-on hardware hobby is highly desirable
Nice to have
Any hands-on experience with enterprise servers, JBODs, or bulk drives
Familiarity with SMART attributes or drive diagnostics
SCHEDULE
Monday–Friday, full-time, on-site in Sanford, FL
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
$20.00–$22.00 per hour
401(k) after one year
Paid time off
Hands-on training and mentorship from our senior testing team
A real growth path into our Level II diagnostics role
Pay: $20.00 - $22.00 per hour
Benefits:
401(k)
Paid time off
Application Question(s):
Tell us about your hands-on experience with computer hardware — homelab, work, school, or personal projects. What have you built, broken, or fixed?
Work Location: In person
