Electronics Testing & Inventory Specialist

Published: 6/14/2022

Job Description

At Summit e-Waste Recycling Solutions, we rescue, test, and find new homes for a huge variety of cool electronics instead of letting them end up in landfills. We’re looking for a hands-on, detail-oriented Electronics Testing & Inventory Specialist to join our friendly workshop team in Akron.

In this role, you’ll handle everything from vintage stereo equipment and CRT displays to gaming consoles and DVD players—testing basic functions, prepping them for our online store, and helping keep our inventory organized.

What You’ll Do

Basic Functionality Testing: Plug in and run basic tests on a wide variety of non-computer electronics (vintage audio receivers, cassette decks, VCRs/DVD players, video game consoles, CRT/LCD screens, and more).
Prep & Photography: Wipe down functional items and snap clear photos from multiple angles (ensuring the model number and ports are visible) for our online listings.
Tag & Shelve: Print inventory tags, catalog items, and place them on the proper shelves so they can be easily located when sold.
Drive Uploads: Upload daily product photos to our shared team drive at the end of each shift.
Order Prep Support: Assist the shipping workflow by pulling sold items from shelves, taking quick weights and dimensions, printing shipping labels, and staging items for the packaging crew.

What We’re Looking For

Familiarity with Electronics: You don’t need an engineering degree or soldering experience—just comfort handling A/V cables, power supplies, and testing everyday gadgets and retro tech.
Detail-Oriented & Organized: You take neat photos, double-check model numbers, and keep shelves orderly.
Reliable & Self-Motivated: Comfortable working independently while staying in sync with the rest of the shop.
Physical Capability: Ability to lift, handle, and shelve electronics weighing up to 30–40 lbs as needed throughout the shift.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

Fun, Unique Gear: Work with an ever-changing stream of nostalgic tech, vintage audio, and cool electronics every day.
Great Schedule Flexibility: 5 to 6 hours a day, Monday through Friday, with customizable start and end times between 6:00 AM and 5:00 PM. No weekends.
Welcoming Environment: Laid-back, supportive shop culture where your work directly supports sustainability and circular electronics reuse.
