About Us

Gophermods was founded in 2010 in Minneapolis, MN and has grown into a nationwide partner for schools and small to medium-sized businesses. We support every stage of the technology lifecycle - computer repair, device refurbishment, and professional services. Located in New Brighton, MN, just minutes from downtown Minneapolis in the Twin Cities metro, we're a small company with a big mission, guided by three values: set the standard, be curious, and thrive together.

Who This Role Is For

As a hardware technician, you'll spend most of your day at the bench - diagnosing, repairing, and refurbishing laptops, Chromebooks, MacBooks, iPads, Microsoft Surface devices, and desktops. This is structured, hands-on, repetitive work. Every repair follows a standard operating procedure. Every device gets a full QA check. Every workspace stays clean and organized.

We're looking for someone who:

• Likes following a process and does it the same way every time

• Takes pride in doing it right, not just getting it done

• Can work at a steady, reliable pace with minimal supervision

• Asks questions early rather than guessing

• Wants to understand why a step exists, not just what to do

You don't need a technical background. If you come from assembly, quality inspection, warehouse kitting, food prep with standards, automotive work, or electronics as a hobby - you may be a great fit. If you've ever used an SOP, followed a checklist, or can describe a personal system you use to stay organized and consistent, we want to hear from you.

Repair & Refurbish

• Diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair Chromebooks, MacBooks, Windows laptops, iPads/tablets, Microsoft Surface devices, and desktops

• Complete full device refurbishment workflows including cleaning, reassembly, and final QA testing using checklists to ensure consistent, high-quality results

• Accurately review customer work orders and assess reported issues to identify the correct repair path

• Rotate across device types (Apple, Chromebook, Windows, Surface) as project needs shift

• Follow all quality control standards, ensuring each device meets required quality checks before moving to the next stage

• Maintain a steady, productive pace while consistently meeting team quality and throughput expectations

Education & Business Projects / Provision & Deploy

• Configure, image, and prep devices with white-glove care and enterprise-level precision

• Stage, organize, package, and prepare devices for delivery

Logistics, Asset Care & Documentation

• Record serial numbers/asset tags, repair notes, and device status updates accurately, and use company systems for ticketing, documentation, and basic workflow tracking

• Handle parts, tools, and devices responsibly

Teamwork & Efficiency

• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized workspace, and collaborate with teammates to streamline repair workflows and meet evolving client needs

• Communicate proactively with your team when you encounter unfamiliar issues, bottlenecks, or quality concerns

• Balance competing priorities and adapt to changing project needs while maintaining quality standards
