Gophermods was founded in 2010 in Minneapolis, MN and has grown into a nationwide partner for schools and small to medium-sized businesses. We support every stage of the technology lifecycle - computer repair, device refurbishment, and professional services. Located in New Brighton, MN, just minutes from downtown Minneapolis in the Twin Cities metro, we're a small company with a big mission, guided by three values: set the standard, be curious, and thrive together.

As a hardware technician, you'll spend most of your day at the bench - diagnosing, repairing, and refurbishing laptops, Chromebooks, Mac Books, iPads, Microsoft Surface devices, and desktops. This is structured, hands‑on, repetitive work. Every repair follows a standard operating procedure. Every device gets a full QA check. Every workspace stays clean and organized.

We're looking for someone who:

• Likes following a process and does it the same way every time

• Takes pride in doing it right, not just getting it done

• Can work at a steady, reliable pace with minimal supervision

• Asks questions early rather than guessing

• Wants to understand why a step exists, not just what to do

You don't need a technical background. If you come from assembly, quality inspection, warehouse kitting, food prep with standards, automotive work, or electronics as a hobby — you may be a great fit. If you've ever used an SOP, followed a checklist, or can describe a personal system you use to stay organized and consistent, we want to hear from you.
