Position: Smart Home Installer & Programmer (Lutron, Savant, AV)

The Role:

Bring Luxury Homes to Life

We don’t do basic TV hangs. Springboard Automation integrates invisible technology into multi-million dollar spaces. We need a sharp, field-proven Technician & Programmer who knows high-end residential integration and wants a company that actually respects their craft.

What You’ll Do
  • Program & Commission:
    Set up and configure high-end lighting, shading, and automation systems (Lutron, Savant, and more)
  • System Optimization:
    Test, troubleshoot, and fine-tune complex residential networks and AV systems, both on-site and remotely
  • Precision Installation:
    Install TVs, premium audio, and motorized shading systems where beautiful finishes, clean craftsmanship, rack-building, and attention to detail matter
  • Collaborate:
    Work alongside an elite team that operates on a strict "No Ego, No Blame" policy
What You Need

If you have 2+ years of experience in high-end residential AV, we want to hear from you. We are looking for a blend of the following:

  • Automation

    Experience:

    Familiarity with luxury control systems. Experience with Lutron Home Works or Savant is highly preferred
  • The Fundamentals: A solid understanding of standard AV, home networking, WiFi, and signal flow
  • Craftsmanship:
    Pride in your work—clean racks, hidden wires, and precise installations
  • Low-Voltage:
    Experience with low-voltage wiring and cable management
  • Physical & Logistics:
    Ability to lift 50 lbs, climb ladders, and a valid driver’s license
Travel Expectation

Overnight travel is an essential function of this role because our projects take us where our clients go.

  • Primary Hubs:
    Projects in Philadelphia and NYC are common. Longer-distance travel may occur, including destinations such as Florida
  • Fully Covered:
    All business travel beyond a normal commute is fully covered
  • The Perks:
    We do things right: real hotels, not bargain rooms. Team dinners with drinks. Order the steak. Plus, you will receive a bonus of up to $100 per overnight
Why Work for Springboard Automation
  • PTO Match: PTO balance match if joining from another AV company
  • No Red Tape:
    Fast tool approval. If it helps you do the job right, we buy it
  • Travel Right:
    When we travel, we do it right. Real hotels (no motels), great team dinners, and a $100/night travel bonus on top of your hourly pay
  • The Gear:
    You’ll get your own set of tools, professional apparel, and an employee purchase program at cost
  • Full Benefits: 401k with match, medical/dental/vision, and PTO + holidays
Compensation

$35-$48 per hour based on experience + $100 per overnight travel night.

NOTE:

This is a Lead to Senior Technician role (not an apprentice or entry-level position), with pay determined by skill, experience, and autonomy. The baseline requires a competent tech who can install, wire, and troubleshoot standard AV systems and networks with minimal supervision, while top-scale pay is reserved for an expert who can independently program complex automation systems from scratch, architect advanced networks, and completely spearhead multi-million dollar project sites.

Employment Type

This is a full-time, hourly, non-exempt role.
