Hardware Technician I

Perry Weather•Dallas, TX

2d•Onsite

About The Position

Thousands of users trust our fast growing weather safety platform across school districts, cities, universities, golf courses, and other industries. We're one of the fastest growing technology companies in North Texas. Our software and connected hardware enable rapid decision-making for organizations facing the threat of weather disruption: How long can I wait to pull players off the field for the nearby storm? How should I modify activities to prevent heat stress injuries? When can operations safely resume on the tarmac? How can I be sure my staff adheres to a weather policy? As a Hardware Technician I, you will play an instrumental role in Perry Weather's growth. You're often the first in-person impression of Perry Weather for new customers. Your day-to-day will be a mix of assembling our proprietary hardware, traveling around the country to install our hardware at schools, golf courses, athletics facilities, parks, and other locations, and servicing our fleet of hardware units as needed. WHAT IS HARDWARE AT PERRY WEATHER? We are the modern weather safety platform – software and hardware that work seamlessly together to protect thousands of people every day. We have two primary types of hardware: Outdoor Warning Systems are mounted to be visible and audible to the nearby area, with a strobe light and speakers for a siren and text-to-speech messaging. Weather Stations are typically mounted alongside our Outdoor Warning Systems and provide our customers with real-time, site-specific weather conditions and camera imagery. You don't need to know anything about the weather or our hardware to join our team as a Hardware Technician I. We'll teach you everything you need to know!
