Smart Home Installer & Programmer (Lutron, Savant, AV)

The Role

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.

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

• 2+ years of experience in high-end residential AV.
• Familiarity with luxury control systems, especially Lutron HomeWorks or Savant.
• A solid understanding of standard AV, home networking, WiFi, and signal flow.
• Pride in your work—clean racks, hidden wires, and precise installations.
• Experience with low-voltage wiring and cable management.
• Ability to lift 50 lbs, climb ladders, and have a valid driver’s license.

Travel Expectation

• Primary Hubs: Projects in Philadelphia and NYC are common. Longer-distance travel may occur, including destinations such as Florida.
• Overnight travel is an essential function of this role.
• 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.
