The Role: Bring the System to Life
At Springboard Automation, we don’t just install gear; we orchestrate environments. We are looking for an experienced Integrator who lives and breathes Lutron HomeWorks and understands how lighting, shading, and AV control intersect to create a world-class home.
This isn’t a role for someone who just wants to "pull wire." This is for the technician who enjoys the challenge of commissioning a complex system, optimizing a high-traffic network, and ensuring that when the client touches "Evening Scene," the home responds perfectly.

- Travel Right: When we travel, we do it right. Real hotels (no motels), great team dinners, and a $100/night travel bonus on top of your hourly pay.
- The Gear: You’ll get your own set of tools, professional apparel, and an employee purchase program at cost.
- Full Benefits: 401k with match, medical/dental/vision, and PTO + holidays.
What You’ll Do
- Program and commission Lutron lighting and shading systems
- Configure and support Savant and integrated AV control systems
- Test, optimize, and finalize complete home systems
- Troubleshoot complex system interactions on-site and remotely
- Work inside finished luxury homes where precision matters
What You Need

- Solid experience with Lutron HomeWorks systems required

- Ability to think holistically across lighting, AV, and control platforms
