Electrical + Mechanical Systems Mastery
Newbury, MA | $32–$43/hr | Full-Time
Read This Carefully Before You Apply.
This is not a general repair position. This is not a “pull codes and recommend parts” job. This is not for someone who is “pretty good at electrical” or “strong at drivability.”
We are looking for a diagnostician who solves the problems other shops cannot — electrical and mechanical.
If you do not genuinely enjoy complex diagnostics, stop here.
Who This Role Is For
You might be the right fit if:
• You get excited when another shop says “needs a module” or “probably needs an engine.” • You understand voltage drop testing instinctively. • You understand relative compression, in-cylinder pressure analysis, and mechanical correlation testing. • You read wiring diagrams and mechanical schematics fluently — not slowly. • You are comfortable diagnosing CAN, LIN, and network communication faults. • You are equally comfortable diagnosing timing deviations, cam/crank correlation faults, vacuum anomalies, and intermittent drivability issues. • You use a lab scope regularly — for electrical and mechanical waveform analysis. • You know correlation is not confirmation — in circuits or in compression. • You document findings logically and defensibly. • You leverage AI, OEM service information, case-study databases, and technical forums strategically — not randomly. • You refuse to accept “No Fault Found” without proof.
You don’t throw parts at modules. You don’t throw parts at engines. You confirm root cause.
Who This Role Is NOT For
Do not apply if:
• You rely primarily on code descriptions. • You replace components based on probability. • You avoid complex electrical work. • You avoid internal engine performance analysis. • You guess at mechanical failures without confirming through testing. • You resist new technology or advanced tooling. • You get defensive when asked to explain your diagnostic path. • You come from flat-rate production and struggle to slow down and prove failure.
We are building a diagnostic culture — not a production line.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
• Advanced electrical and network diagnostics • Advanced mechanical and drivability diagnostics • Intermittent and complex system failures • Structured test drives and controlled duplication procedures • Data PID analysis and waveform interpretation • In-cylinder pressure testing and mechanical integrity verification • Intelligent research before parts replacement • Clear collaboration with service advisors • Occasionally explaining technical findings to customers
You will be trusted — and expected — to operate at a high level.
Why We Invest in Diagnostic Time
Most shops lose money on diagnostics. We don’t.
Here’s why:
Accurate diagnosis protects our reputation. We have served this community for over 30 years. Guessing is expensive. Time spent diagnosing saves time spent reworking. We would rather invest 1.5 hours confirming root cause than 12 hours replacing the wrong engine, module, or subsystem. Customers value precision. Our client base understands the difference between testing and guessing. Master technicians deserve proper conditions. Elite diagnosticians cannot operate under rushed, flat-rate chaos. We believe diagnostic work is intellectual work. Intellectual work requires time.
If you need constant pressure to stay productive, this is not your environment. If you value thoroughness and accuracy, you will appreciate how we operate.
What You Bring
• 10–15+ years advanced diagnostic experience • Strong electrical systems mastery • Strong mechanical systems mastery • Proven scope, network, and waveform diagnostic ability • Ability to verify internal engine integrity without disassembly • Proficiency with OEM-level scan tools • ASE certifications preferred (L1/L3 strongly valued) • Clean driving record • Strong communication skills
You should be comfortable explaining not just what failed — but why it failed, what proved it, and why alternatives were eliminated.
Compensation & Environment
• $32–$43 per hour (based on verified skill level) • Paid holidays • Paid vacation • Ongoing advanced training support • Clean, organized shop • Stable, loyal customer base
We reward skill, not speed. We reward proof, not probability.
A Final Filter
When diagnosing an intermittent misfire with no clear DTC pattern, do you:
A) Replace coils and plugs first B) Clear codes and wait for it to worsen C) Analyze fuel trims, review mode $06 data, perform relative compression, scope primary/secondary ignition, verify cam/crank correlation, confirm mechanical integrity, and prove root cause before replacement
If you are C — we want to speak with you. If you are unsure — this likely isn’t your role.
