About The Position

Floe is preparing to bring elements of console assembly, refurbishment, and project-specific builds in-house in Buffalo as we scale operations. We are looking for an exceptional technician and builder who takes pride in craftsmanship and enjoys working with physical systems. This is a hands-on role focused on assembling Floe’s ETL- and FCC-certified consoles, supporting RMA refurbishment, and helping establish the processes and quality systems needed for repeatable, high-quality builds. The role is ideal for someone who enjoys building things the right way, notices inefficiencies, and wants to help shape early manufacturing operations. Initial involvement may be project-based, part-time, or flexible, with the opportunity to transition into a full-time role as production scales.
