Job Description

Position Summary Our client is seeking a Master-Level Technician who can seamlessly blend electrical expertise, fabrication talent, aesthetic sensitivity, and problem-solving curiosity. This role demands more than technical competence — it requires an individual who views each car as a canvas, each part as an opportunity for innovation, and each challenge as a puzzle worth solving. This position is ideal for someone who was a lifelong tinkerer, understands that modern cars are digital-electromechanical devices, and takes genuine pride in every detail — from relay logic to the precision of a hidden bracket.

Primary Responsibilities Electrical Systems & Integration Design, wire, and integrate custom automotive electrical systems — analog and digital — with OEM-level execution. Expertly work with 12V systems, high-current circuits, and parasitic draw troubleshooting. Wire logic-based circuits using Bosch-style relays, solid-state modules, and OEM harness integration. Build clean, protected, and serviceable harnesses with professional routing and circuit protection. Modify and reconfigure alternator systems — including ECU-controlled modern alternators and vintage generator systems. Retrofit vintage systems to modern electrical standards (6V to 12V conversions, etc.). Audio Systems & DSP Tuning Design and install integrated audio systems in modern and vintage cars. Execute DSP tuning using JL Audio MAX, AudioTech Fischer, and similar processors. Install and fabricate enclosures for custom subwoofer and full-range speaker systems. Understand and compensate for OEM audio system constraints (all-pass filters, phase issues, etc.). Perform reference-based tuning with personal media libraries. Fabrication & Craftsmanship Fabricate custom brackets, panels, and assemblies in metal, plastic, and wood. MIG & TIG weld as needed for daily project requirements. Build from raw materials: ABS, acrylics, EPDM, metals, composites, etc. Modify OEM parts with extreme precision — including plastic shaping, upholstery wrapping, and surface finishing. Wrap, finish, and detail custom installations to exacting aesthetic and durability standards. Project Planning & Documentation Organize every component of a build using labeled bins, tags, and photo documentation. Communicate clearly with the team and clients regarding progress, challenges, and goals. Help create custom user manuals for each build, documenting non-OEM systems and integration details. Follow project planning protocols to execute multi-phase builds with precision and accountability. Required Experience & Knowledge Minimum 5–10 years in advanced custom automotive work, with an emphasis on electrical systems. Strong grasp of automotive relay logic, circuit design, and parasitic draw diagnostics. Ability to design and install multi-amp audio systems with DSP, EQ, time-delay, and crossover logic. Hands-on experience fabricating audio enclosures and integrating systems into exotic or vintage interiors. Extensive use of multimeters, oscilloscopes, soldering/desoldering tools, and harness-building equipment. Comfort working on a wide variety of vehicles — from 1950s European sports cars to modern EVs and SUVs.

What you'll be running

This posting calls for MIG and TIG work. MIG (GMAW) feeds a continuous wire electrode through a shielding-gas nozzle. It lays down metal fast and is forgiving on clean material, which is why it dominates production and light fabrication work. TIG (GTAW) uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode with filler added by hand, giving the operator the most control of any process. It is slow, demanding, and the standard for stainless, aluminum, and anything where the bead has to look as good as it holds.
