Full description
Position Summary:
The ITAD Process Engineer is a highly strategic key member of Securis' ITAD leadership team. Reporting directly to the EVP of ITAD, you will serve as the organization's foremost Subject Matter Expert (SME) for warehouse testing, data sanitization, grading, and process engineering.
This role is ideal for a seasoned ITAD operations veteran who has spent years on the warehouse floor testing, wiping, grading, and troubleshooting enterprise technology, and is ready to help design the next generation of ITAD operations.
As Securis' primary Process Engineer and Technology Scout, you'll divide your time equally between the warehouse and the workstation. Approximately 50% of your time will be spent researching emerging technologies, configuring Salesforce and Blancco, engineering more efficient workflows, and evaluating new testing capabilities. The remaining 50% will be spent on the warehouse floor validating processes, training technicians, troubleshooting complex hardware, and ensuring operational excellence.
While this role has no direct reports or purchasing authority, it carries tremendous organizational influence. You'll work hand-in-hand with the ITAD Operations Manager to design the "perfect process" for testing and wiping enterprise technology, expand Securis' capabilities into emerging asset categories such as AI servers and enterprise networking equipment, and continually improve the systems, tools, and workflows that maximize throughput, asset value, and profitability.
What You Will Do:
Innovation
- Lead the research, development, and implementation of secure testing, grading, and data sanitization processes for emerging enterprise technologies, including AI servers, GPU infrastructure, enterprise storage, and high-end networking equipment.
- Evaluate new categories of IT assets and develop repeatable processes that allow Securis to expand service offerings and maximize secondary-market value.
- Continuously evaluate diagnostic software, wiping solutions, automation tools, hardware fixtures, and testing technologies that improve operational capabilities.
- Build business cases and ROI analyses for new software, tools, and technology investments.
- Stay ahead of evolving enterprise hardware platforms, ITAD technologies, and NIST data sanitization standards.
Optimization
- Design, document, and continuously improve standardized testing, grading, and data sanitization workflows.
- Identify operational bottlenecks and engineer scalable solutions that improve productivity, consistency, and quality.
- Develop repeatable processes capable of supporting significant operational growth.
- Apply Lean thinking and continuous improvement methodologies to reduce waste and maximize efficiency.
