Technical Support Associate (Chat & Phone) — Wireless / Meshtastic Devices

Apply

Company: Rokland LLC
Location: Gainesville, Florida (On-site)
Pay: $16–$17 per hour
Schedule: Full-time, weekday daytime hours (no overnight shifts)


About the Role

Rokland is looking for a friendly, patient, and curious Technical Support Associate to help customers set up and troubleshoot wireless communication devices, primarily Meshtastic radios and related networking equipment.

This is not a corporate call center job — our customers are hobbyists, farmers, emergency preparedness users, off-grid campers, and engineers. Many conversations are problem-solving oriented, and you’ll regularly learn new technology.

You don’t need to be an RF expert — but you must enjoy figuring things out and helping people. Training provided but some experience in technology a plus.


What You’ll Do

  • Answer customer questions via live chat, email, and phone

  • Help customers set up devices, firmware, and mobile apps

  • Troubleshoot connectivity, pairing, GPS, and range issues

  • Read logs and screenshots to diagnose problems

  • Write clear step-by-step instructions customers can follow

  • Document recurring issues and solutions

  • Escalate unusual cases to engineering staff

  • Occasionally test devices on the bench to reproduce issues

Typical questions:

  • “Why can’t my nodes see each other?”

  • “What antenna do I need for range?”

  • “How do I update firmware?”

  • “Why won’t my phone connect over Bluetooth?”


Required Skills

  • Strong written communication (clear, structured replies)

  • Comfortable speaking on the phone with customers

  • Basic computer troubleshooting ability

  • Ability to learn technical topics quickly

  • Patience and professionalism with frustrated users

  • Attention to detail


Nice to Have (Not Required)

We will train you — but these help:

  • Electronics, radios, or ham radio interest

  • Arduino / Raspberry Pi / maker projects

  • Networking basics (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IP concepts)

  • Linux familiarity

  • Experience in technical support or retail tech sales


What Makes Someone Successful Here

  • You enjoy solving puzzles

  • You can explain complicated things simply

  • You stay calm when customers are confused

  • You are curious enough to research before answering

  • You care about getting the correct answer, not the fast one


What You’ll Learn

  • Wireless radio fundamentals (LoRa)

  • Embedded devices and firmware

  • Bluetooth and mobile connectivity

  • Real-world networking troubleshooting

  • Customer communication skills valued in engineering roles

This job is ideal for someone interested in moving toward IT, engineering, or technical product roles.


Benefits

  • Paid training

  • Consistent weekday hours

  • Relaxed, small-team environment (not a call center)

  • Hands-on experience with modern wireless tech

  • Opportunity for advancement into product or QA roles

PCB Developer (Embedded / RF / IoT) – Meshtastic Hardware

Apply

Company: Rokland LLC
Location: Gainesville, Florida (On site or hybrid preferred, Remote considered for strong candidates)
Salary: $55,000 – $75,000 base + royalties and performance incentives + growth path


About Rokland

Rokland builds and distributes wireless and IoT hardware used by engineers, emergency responders, outdoor operators, and off-grid communities.

We specialize in Meshtastic mesh networking hardware, LoRa radio systems, sensors, and embedded devices that allow communication where cellular and internet don’t exist.

We are not a corporate bureaucracy — though we've been around 20+ years, we have a startup vibe and are a fast-moving engineering-driven company.


What You’ll Do

You will work on the design of real hardware — not theoretical projects. Your work will become production devices used globally.

Core Responsibilities

  • Design PCBs for LoRa, GPS, sensors, power, and embedded devices

  • Work with ESP32, nRF52, RP2040, and similar microcontrollers

  • Implement RF layout for sub-GHz radios (433/868/915 MHz)

  • Design battery and power circuits (Li-ion, LiFePO4, charging, protection)

  • Create schematics and layouts (KiCad or Altium preferred)

  • Prototype, test, and debug hardware

  • Work with firmware team to support Meshtastic integration

  • Prepare designs for manufacturing (BOM, DFM, assembly files)

  • Interface with overseas manufacturers and revise boards based on feedback


Nice Projects You Might Work On

  • Portable encrypted off-grid radios

  • RF repeater infrastructure

  • Environmental sensor platforms

  • Emergency communication devices


Recommended Experience

  • Some PCB design experience or willingness to learn

  • Understanding of electronics fundamentals

  • Ability to debug hardware with a multimeter

  • Basic soldering and rework skills (training provided)

  • Willingness to learn RF layout best practices


Preferred (but not required)

  • RF design experience

  • LoRa or wireless protocol familiarity

  • KiCad or Altium experience

  • Embedded firmware basics (C/C++)

  • Battery charging & power management

  • Linux / serial debugging

  • 3D printing or enclosure design interest


What We Value More Than Credentials

We care far more about what you’ve built than your degree.

Show us:

  • GitHub projects

  • Hobby boards

  • Ham radio projects

  • Repairs
