Repair Engineer

As a Repair Engineer, your job is to analyze faults with electronic musical equipment and repair them. This requires electrical engineering skills as well as the ability to research problems, identify solutions, and potentially discuss with customers the tradeoffs between trying courses of action and their potential successes.

At the same time, a smart technician who has strong analytical skills but less domain knowledge is attractive for the role as well.

Along the way, you’ll work on developing your knowledge of electronic musical instruments, troubleshooting techniques, recording techniques, and more. You will also have opportunities to participate in other Patchwerks programs such as lessons, events, sales, and marketing.

  • Organizing technical work for repair of instruments from a variety of customers and a variety of products

  • Communicating tradeoffs between research costs, time, and value to the customer for their instrument

  • Working with manufacturers to address product defects and organize returning merchandise when defective
