• Identify hardware (CPU, RAM, drive type/model) and sort into workflows: Resale, Wholesale, Harvest, Recycle.
• Perform cosmetic grading (A–D) and functional testing (keyboard, trackpad, ports, webcam). Record condition notes to support pricing.
• Execute data sanitization to NIST standards and monitor wiping servers.
• Carry out basic refurb and repairs (cleaning, battery changes, remove tags), harvest usable parts (RAM, SSDs, adapters).
• Track inventory and perform cycle counts; pick, pack, and ship DTC and pallet freight with proper packing and manifests.

What we're looking for:

• 2+ years experience in computer repair with specific ITAD, electronics recycling, or reverse logistics exposure.

• Experience grading used electronics for resale.
• Comfortable with WMS, Windows & Apple devices, diagnostic tools, and data‑erasure software.
• Exceptional attention to detail when logging serials and conditions.
• Physically able to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for extended periods.
