Hardware Technician I

Thousands of users trust our fast growing weather safety platform across school districts, cities, universities, golf courses, and other industries. We're one of the fastest growing technology companies in North Texas. Our software and connected hardware enable rapid decision-making for organizations facing the threat of weather disruption: How long can I wait to pull players off the field for the nearby storm? How should I modify activities to prevent heat stress injuries? When can operations safely resume on the tarmac? How can I be sure my staff adheres to a weather policy? 

As a Hardware Technician I , you will play an instrumental role in Perry Weather's growth. You're often the first in-person impression of Perry Weather for new customers. Your day-to-day will be a mix of assembling our proprietary hardware, traveling around the country to install our hardware at schools, golf courses, athletics facilities, parks, and other locations, and servicing our fleet of hardware units as needed. 

IN THIS JOB YOU WILL: 

• Install and service our hardware units at a variety of locations around the country. We'll fly you to those locations, and generally you'll spend about 2-4 nights (M-Th) away each week. This will be about 85% of your role.
• Assist our manufacturing team and assemble our proprietary hardware in our office located in the Design District area of Dallas. While we don't require electrical or engineering experience, we do expect that you learn quickly and understand key concepts as we teach you what you need to know. This will be about 15% of your role.
• Use hand, power, and electrical tools as you assemble/install hardware units.
• Work outside at height on rooftops and in lifts in most weather conditions for extended periods; climb ladders up to 50ft and repetitively lift/carry/hoist heavy equipment.
• Create the first in-person impression of Perry Weather for new customers as you install their hardware units – communicate clearly with their on-site contact, answer questions, and show them how their new hardware works in conjunction with our software platform.
• Keep tools and equipment in good working order at all times. Tools are provided.
• Follow documented procedures and Perry Weather’s quality standards
• Maintain a safety-first mindset at all times, following company and site-specific safety protocols
