Full-time opportunitiesPost Falls, IdahoStarts from January 2027
Engineers, technicians & makers who can teach.
Bring a practical skill. Help a new generation master it.
We’re looking for experts in robotics and engineering, phone and electronics repair, and advanced machinery and fabrication. Bring deep experience in at least one specialty and the patience to teach it through hands-on work.
What you bring
A skill worth passing on.
We’re recruiting across three areas. Each person brings depth in their own field, with room to contribute other strengths.
Device repair & electronics
Bring certified iPhone repair skills or relevant electronics expertise. Teach careful diagnosis, repair, and respect for the tools and devices in your hands.
Machinery & fabrication
Bring experience with CNC machines, 3D printing, laser cutting, or related processes. Help turn a design into a useful, well-made object.
We’re especially interested in a robotics engineer with a broad range of practical abilities. We also want to hear from strong specialists in repair and fabrication.
Why this work matters
Give students something real to build.
A robot that moves, a device that works again, a part that fits. When the result has to work, students have a reason to ask better questions, test their ideas, and try again. That experience prepares them to solve problems beyond the classroom.
Meet the organizations
Where you fit.
One role connects your teaching today with opportunities to build tomorrow.
Faith · Performing arts · Technology
Begin in the classroom.
River Tech School of Performing Arts & Technology is a Christian school for grades 1–12 in Post Falls.
Initially, most of your work would be teaching here: sharing real knowledge, guiding practical projects, and helping students develop skill, confidence, and responsibility.

Human ideas · Useful things
A place to build together.
Tink Town is a workshop and gathering place in development. The idea is to bring skilled people together to help local businesses and neighbors make things, fix things, and try out ideas.
Think of a broken part that needs replacing, a prototype that needs testing, or a process that wastes time. As Tink Town grows, your specialty could help shape the projects it takes on.
The connection
One employer as your work evolves.
River Tech LLC develops the educational model used at River Tech School and is building Tink Town. This job connects those two efforts through people with real technical skills.
You’d work for the LLC. Your first assignment would be mainly at the school, with room for Tink Town projects later.
How the role can grow
More possibilities.
The same total workweek.
Mostly teaching.
Bring your specialty into the school. Prepare lessons, guide projects, and help students learn to work carefully and think for themselves.
A changing balance.
Take on more commercial and technical projects, with a corresponding reduction in teaching time. The balance develops with the work.
The person behind the skill
Know your craft.
Care about the learner.
- Demonstrated expertise. Show us work you’ve done in your specialty. Tell us what you were responsible for, what problems you solved, and how you checked the result.
- Patience and clear communication. Help a young person understand the work and learn to do it well.
- Christian faith and shared culture. Be ready to carry the school’s faith and values into your teaching.
- Judgment and reliability. Work responsibly, follow through, and recognize what needs expert supervision.
Compensation
Five-year example based on 1,630 work hours per year. It assumes at least a relevant bachelor’s degree or an equivalent professional qualification, such as an electrician’s license. The hours include teaching, preparation, meetings, events, and summer work.
Your starting salary will reflect your qualifications, relevant experience, and agreed annual hours. If we agree on more work hours per year, your salary would increase to reflect the additional hours.
| Year | With standard benefits | Arrange your own insurance |
|---|---|---|

| 5 | $43,000≈ $26.40/hr | $49,000≈ $30.10/hr |
The hourly equivalents use the 1,630-hour example. In this example, arranging your own insurance adds $500 per month in place of standard benefits. We’ll discuss the work schedule, responsibilities, benefits, and any tuition assistance before making an offer.
