Compensation

Full Description

Position Summary Our client is seeking a Master-Level Technician who can seamlessly blend electrical expertise, fabrication talent, aesthetic sensitivity, and problem-solving curiosity. This role demands more than technical competence — it requires an individual who views each car as a canvas, each part as an opportunity for innovation, and each challenge as a puzzle worth solving. This position is ideal for someone who was a lifelong tinkerer, understands that modern cars are digital-electromechanical devices, and takes genuine pride in every detail — from relay logic to the precision of a hidden bracket. Primary Responsibilities Electrical Systems & Integration • Design, wire, and integrate custom automotive electrical systems — analog and digital — with OEM-level execution. • Expertly work with 12V systems, high-current circuits, and parasitic draw troubleshooting. • Wire logic-based circuits using Bosch-style relays, solid-state modules, and OEM harness integration. • Build clean, protected, and serviceable harnesses with professional routing and circuit protection. • Modify and reconfigure alternator systems — including ECU-controlled modern alternators and vintage generator systems. • Retrofit vintage systems to modern electrical standards (6V to 12V conversions, etc.). Audio Systems & DSP Tuning • Design and install integrated audio systems in modern and vintage cars. • Execute DSP tuning using JL Audio MAX, AudioTech Fischer, and similar processors. • Install and fabricate enclosures for custom subwoofer and full-range speaker systems. • Understand and compensate for OEM audio system constraints (all-pass filters, phase issues, etc.). • Perform reference-based tuning with personal media libraries. Fabrication & Craftsmanship • Fabricate custom brackets, panels, and assemblies in metal, plastic, and wood. • MIG & TIG weld as needed for daily project requirements. • Build from raw materials: ABS, acrylics, EPDM, metals, composites, etc. • Modify OEM parts with extreme precision — including plastic shaping, upholstery wrapping, and surface finishing. • Wrap, finish, and detail custom installations to exacting aesthetic and durability standards. Project Planning & Documentation • Organize every component of a build using labeled bins, tags, and photo documentation. • Communicate clearly with the team and clients regarding progress, challenges, and goals. • Help create custom user manuals for each build, documenting non-OEM systems and integration details. • Follow project planning protocols to execute multi-phase builds with precision and accountability. Required Experience & Knowledge • Minimum 5–10 years in advanced custom automotive work, with an emphasis on electrical systems. • Strong grasp of automotive relay logic, circuit design, and parasitic draw diagnostics. • Ability to design and install multi-amp audio systems with DSP, EQ, time-delay, and crossover logic. • Hands-on experience fabricating audio enclosures and integrating systems into exotic or vintage interiors. • Extensive use of multimeters, oscilloscopes, soldering/desoldering tools, and harness-building equipment. • Comfort working on a wide variety of vehicles — from 1950s European sports cars to modern EVs and SUVs.
