Job description

You'll build custom gaming PCs from the ground up. It's hands-on physical assembly, clean cable management, attention to detail on every build. You'll work at your own bench, take pride in what you put together, and hand off finished systems to the rest of the team to take it from there.

We care about quality first. A great build looks good, runs cool, and gets out the door without surprises. Speed matters too, this isn't a hobby pace, but we'd rather see it done right than rushed.

If you're the kind of person who lines up the cables just because it bugs you when they're not straight, you'll fit in here.

What you'll do

  • Assemble PCs from parts to finished build
  • Cable manage cleanly for thermals and aesthetics
  • Handle components with the care they deserve
  • Keep all accessories organized and staged with the system so nothing gets lost between assembly and shipping
  • Keep your station clean and your tools where they belong
  • Speak up when you spot a better way to do something, * We promote from within. When the team grows or new roles open, standout assemblers are the first people we consider. External hires happen only when a role is genuinely outside what the team does (e.g., accounting).
  • Speed earns you more interesting work. Faster, reliable builders get first pick of custom and high-end builds, plus trusted flexibility in scheduling.
  • The work is the work. Small team, low-drama, minimal meetings.
  • Your name goes on the build. Every system is assigned to the assembler who built it, and customers see that. A lot of them write in to call out the person who put their PC together. It's a small thing, but it makes the work feel like yours., * What's the most recent PC build you worked on (yours or someone else's)? Briefly describe the parts or what made it interesting.
  • What hardware release or trend are you most interested in right now?
  • This is hands-on, independent work. Most of your day is at your own bench, not in meetings or working closely with others. Does that suit how you like to work?
  • Have you personally built a PC from individual components? If yes, roughly how many builds have you done?

Requirements

Do you have experience in Time management?, Do you have a High school diploma or GED?, The right person is independent, self-motivated, reliable, and has a good attitude. Those four things matter more than any line on a resume. Specifically:

  • You actually like PCs. Hobbyist builders, modders, people who follow hardware launches. That's our crowd.
  • You can work on your own for hours without losing focus or pace.
  • You're detail-oriented because you care about the build, not because someone's watching.
  • You're comfortable on your feet and can lift up to 50 lbs regularly.

Experience

  • 1-2 years hands-on PC building strongly preferred (work, side hustle, or serious hobby all count)
  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Solid working knowledge of PC components: motherboards, CPUs, RAM, GPUs, storage, cooling

How you'll learn the job

You'll learn by building. You'll work next to experienced assemblers watching how they do it, asking questions, then doing it yourself with someone nearby to catch what you miss. After that it's mostly reps. Most people are working independently within a few weeks.

We don't have a thick training manual. The way things are done lives with the people who do them, and that's how you'll pick it up. What helps most is patience, paying attention, and wanting to understand why a build is done a certain way instead of just going through the motions.
