We believe that meaningful change requires institutions to offer frictionless systems that make sustainability effortless and tangible.\nWhat began as a grassroots initiative offering reusable takeout containers to restaurants and cafes in Vancouver, has since grown into an enterprise technology platform reaching institutions across North America. Today, Reusables is helping to eliminate thousands of tonnes of single-use waste each year, empowering businesses to join the journey toward a cleaner, more sustainable future.\nAs a venture-backed and mission-driven company, we are passionate about making impact at scale. We are a young, weirdly talented group of ‘high-octane’ individuals that are relentlessly focused on the planet, people, and profit - in that order.\nAbout the Role:\nYou’ll build our products, and keep the ones already in the field working. Every Smart Return Bin, Smart Return Station and Smart Media unit we ship passes through your hands, and you’ll get to see your builds in use on campuses across North America every day.\nYou’ll start in January and learn the builds from our existing assembly team. You’ll work from written instructions, and you’ll have a real say in making those instructions, and our products, easier to build.\nOur hardware is designed, built, tested and shipped by a small team in Vancouver, and you’ll report to our Hardware Lead. Most units ship in a summer peak, ahead of each autumn semester.\nWe’re moving from build-to-order to levelled production. From February we build steadily towards the September peak, and servicing and refurbishing units already in the field runs alongside new builds.\nThis is a full-time, permanent position, starting in January 2027.\nWhat You’ll Be Doing:\nAssemble Smart Return Bins, Smart Return Stations, Smart Media units and their subassemblies from work instructions, drawings, wiring diagrams and BOMs \nHit weekly build targets through the February build-ahead and the summer peak, so units are ready before customers need them \nCheck your own builds before they go to test, and flag repeat defects to our SI&T engineer and Hardware Lead \nRepair, rebuild and retest units returned from the field, working from our SI&T engineer’s diagnosis. Servicing is year-round work, and part of how we keep reliability high \nIf a step is unclear or wrong, raise it and help fix the work instruction so the next build is easier \nBring “this part is hard to fit” and “this step takes forever” problems to engineering \nKeep your bench ESD-safe, tidy and organised \nHelp with kitting, packing and shipping during the peak \nHow Your Year Looks:\nJanuary: Onboarding and training on every product, working towards building each one without supervision \nFebruary to May: Steady subassembly and unit builds ahead of the summer, refurbishment, prototype builds and help setting up fixtures \nJune to September: Final assembly, quality checks and packing during the peak \nOctober to December: Refurbishment and returns, Smart Media builds, and a post-season review of what slowed the line \nWhere Your Role Ends:\nYou’ll work closely with the rest of the hardware team. These sit with them:\nSetting the production schedule and daily priorities \nOrdering parts, freight and customs \nTest development and fault diagnosis \nOwning the work instructions (you’ll feed in fixes) \nWhat You’ll Bring To The Team:\nHands-on electromechanical or electronics assembly experience \nYou can read assembly drawings, wiring diagrams and BOMs \nSoldering and hand-tool skills \nYou follow written instructions closely and care about getting it right \nEligible to work in Canada, and able to work full-time on-site in Vancouver \nAvailable to start in January 2027 \nA positive, go-getter attitude: you’re excited by a new challenge every day, and you’ll figure out what you don’t know yet \nSelf-motivated and high ownership: give you a problem and you’ll own it through to the end, without waiting to be told how \nNo ego: we’re focused on the mission and check our egos at the door \nNice to have\nIPC-A-610 or J-STD-001 certification \nESD-safe working practice \nRepair or refurbishment experience \nStartup or small-team experience \nIf your background doesn’t perfectly align with the qualifications listed, but you’re confident in your ability to excel in this role, we still want to hear from you! At Reusables, we value diverse experiences and unique perspectives, so don’t hesitate to apply if you believe you can make a meaningful impact. We hire for attitude first. Skills can be taught, so we’d rather meet someone who takes on any task with excitement and figures it out, than someone held back by what they’ve done before.\nWe sincerely appreciate the time and effort of all applicants who express interest in joining our team. While we carefully review each application, only those selected for an interview will be contacted. Thank you for considering Reusables as your next career opportunity!\nCompensation & Key Details\nPlease note: This is an in-office position at our office in Vancouver, BC. \nCompensation: $55,000-$65,000 CAD per year \nStart date: January 2027 \n Reports to: Hardware Lead \nWhy You’ll Love Working At Reusables:\nBenefits package (dental, vision, health) \nMembership to Outdoor Prolink for discounted outdoor gear \nA small, fun, low-ego team that loves the work we do together and the impact we have \nA central, spacious and easy-access office in Vancouver with a friendly, sociable atmosphere and plenty of space to focus \nAnnual offsite with the entire Reusables team \nWork that ships: what you build, buy or plan ends up on campuses where people use it every day \nOur Values:\nStrive for excellence \nAssume you have something to learn from everyone \nPlay bigger \nCheck your ego at the door \nSee the path forward, not the trees in the way \nWhy Join Us:\nThe ocean already contains 165 million tonnes of plastic, and by 2050, plastic waste could outweigh fish. While recycling is often touted as the solution, only 5% of plastic is actually recycled in the U.S. (9% in Canada). Governments and businesses worldwide are banning single-use plastics and committing to zero-waste solutions by 2030.\nReusable packaging is the most sustainable alternative, but adoption has been hindered by cost and operational complexity. Reusables removes these barriers, offering a scalable, tech-enabled solution for food businesses and the institutions that serve them.\nDEI Statement:\nAt Reusables, we are building products for a diverse world, and we need a diverse team to do that successfully. We strongly encourage applications from everyone regardless of race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, national origin, Indigenous identity, religion, political belief, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability, or a criminal conviction unrelated to the role.\nAccessibility Statement:\nReusables provides an accessible candidate experience. If you need any accommodations or adjustments throughout the interview process and beyond, please let us know, and we will work with you to provide the necessary support and make reasonable accommodations to facilitate your participation.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7383,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Catering & Food Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-10T21:43:47Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T00:07:18Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":45796,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/reusables-hardware-assembly-expert","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/reusables-hardware-assembly-expert.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T00:07:18Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":346,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2639913},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2639913"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Freusables-hardware-assembly-expert"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Freusables-hardware-assembly-expert"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Freusables-hardware-assembly-expert"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/reusables-hardware-assembly-expert\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Freusables-hardware-assembly-expert"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4039298}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"reusables.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4039298},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
