About the Role

Quest International is hiring an OEM Technician I for our Irvine Service Repair Center. This is an entry-level, hands-on electronics repair role focused on testing, troubleshooting, documenting, and repairing electronic devices in a bench repair environment.

This is a good fit for someone who has repaired or troubleshot devices such as:

• Phones
• Tablets
• Laptops
• Computers
• Gaming consoles
• Small electronics
• Circuit boards
• Cables/connectors
• Electronic assemblies
• OEM or depot repair products

Professional OEM repair experience is helpful, but not required. We are looking for someone with real hands-on electronics aptitude, attention to detail, reliability, and the ability to follow repair procedures accurately.

This is not a software development role, business analyst role, IT help desk role, tax/admin role, warehouse-only role, or customer-service-only position.

What You Will Do

• Test, evaluate, diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair electronic products.
• Use basic electronic test equipment such as multimeters, power supplies, diagnostic testers, or similar tools.
• Inspect devices for hardware issues, damage, defects, failed parts, or repair needs.
• Follow service manuals, SOPs, work instructions, and step-by-step repair procedures.
• Document repair notes, service details, parts used, and work performed in computer systems.
• Maintain a clean, organized, safe, and professional workbench area.
• Meet production, quality, documentation, and turnaround-time expectations.
• Work with leads, technicians, and management to resolve repair issues.

Minimum Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Hands-on experience repairing, troubleshooting, testing, or working with electronics or electronic devices.
• Comfortable using basic electronic test equipment.
• Ability to follow written repair procedures, service manuals, SOPs, and work instructions.
• Basic computer skills and ability to enter repair notes accurately.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Reliable attendance for a full-time onsite schedule.
• Able to work Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM onsite in Irvine.
• Able to lift up to 40 pounds.

Strong Fit Backgrounds

Candidates may come from backgrounds such as:

• Phone repair technician
• Tablet or laptop repair technician
• Gaming console repair
• Computer hardware repair
• Electronics repair shop
• Depot repair
• Bench technician
• Biomedical repair assistant
• Technical school electronics program
• Military electronics repair
• Appliance or small electronics repair
• Hands-on hobby electronics with real repair experience

Preferred Qualifications

• Soldering or micro-soldering experience.
• PCB or board-level troubleshooting exposure.
• Component replacement experience.
• ESD awareness.
• Experience with ERP, ticketing, or repair documentation systems.
• Experience in a service center, depot repair, OEM repair, ISO, or quality-controlled environment.
• Apple, Samsung, CompTIA, electronics, or repair-related certifications.

Not the Right Fit If Your Background Is Mainly

This role may not be aligned if your experience is mostly:

• Software development
• Business analysis
• Data analysis
• IT help desk with no hardware repair
• Network administration
• Tax, finance, or office administration
• Retail/customer service without electronics repair
• Warehouse/shipping without repair work
• General electrical work with no small electronics repair
• Academic coursework only with no hands-on repair examples

What We Are Looking For

We need someone who is hands-on, careful, trainable, and comfortable working at a repair bench. You do not need to be a senior technician, but you do need real electronics repair interest and enough hands-on experience to learn OEM repair procedures quickly.

The strongest candidates can explain what devices they repaired, what tools they used, how they diagnosed the issue, how they verified the repair, and how they documented the work.

Benefits

Quest International offers competitive pay, hands-on technical training, a professional onsite repair environment, and the opportunity to build a career in electronics repair, OEM service, documentation, and quality-controlled repair work.
