Job description

Elevator Circuit Board Repair Technician

 Employment Type: Full‑Time | On‑Site Repair Facility

Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Elevator Circuit Board Repair Technician to join our in‑house electronics repair team. This role focuses on diagnosing, repairing, rebuilding, and testing elevator controller boards, drive boards, and related PCB assemblies. Ideal candidates bring a blend of documented technical experience and undocumented, hands‑on tribal knowledge gained through years of working with elevator electronics, legacy systems, and non‑standard equipment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform bench‑level diagnostics, repair, and refurbishment of elevator controller boards, drive boards, and PCB components

  • Troubleshoot complex electronic failures using schematics, meters, scopes, and personal undocumented experience with older or modified systems

  • Rebuild and reflash controller boards, including legacy and discontinued models

  • Conduct functional testing and quality checks to ensure boards meet operational standards

  • Identify root causes of board failures and recommend corrective actions

  • Maintain repair logs, part usage, and testing documentation

  • Collaborate with engineering and technical support teams on unique or undocumented board issues

  • Support continuous improvement of repair processes, testing procedures, and component handling

  • Work independently on high‑complexity repairs requiring deep familiarity with elevator electronics

Required Experience & Skills

  • 3+ years repairing elevator controllers, drive boards, VFDs, or similar industrial electronics

  • Strong PCB‑level troubleshooting skills (meters, scopes, soldering, component testing)

  • Ability to diagnose issues without full documentation—relying on historical, tribal, or hands‑on knowledge

  • Experience with elevator control systems, power electronics, or automation equipment

  • Familiarity with legacy elevator boards and non‑standard configurations

  • Ability to read and interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, and component layouts

  • Strong mechanical and electrical aptitude

  • High attention to detail and quality control

Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior experience in an elevator electronics repair shop or controls manufacturing environment

  • Experience repairing VFDs used in elevator applications

  • Knowledge of controller families from major elevator manufacturers

  • Ability to mentor junior technicians on undocumented repair techniques

Compensation

Competitive hourly rate based on experience, including premium consideration for candidates with strong undocumented/tribal knowledge of elevator electronics.
