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.

If you have a killer eye for clean rack-building, know your way around a network, and can program premium control systems, you’ll fit right in. You’ll be joining an awesome, supportive team that has your back on every job site, backed by the best tools, ongoing training, and premium field support in the industry.

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 HomeWorks 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.
