The top 4-6 measurable priorities to be accomplished in the first 6 months
The Lead AIT Engineer will have the following priorities:
COMPENSATION
The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is USD $110,000 - $140,000 per year based upon level of experience. Xplore has different base pay ranges for different work locations within the United States when the role is remote. This allows us to pay employees competitively and consistently in different geographic markets. Individual base pay depends on various factors, in addition to primary work location, such as complexity and responsibility of role, job duties/requirements, and relevant experience and skills.
Xplore has retained Bert Sadtler, President of Boxwood Strategies to manage all hiring and conduct a different kind of recruitment. We have selected Boxwood because we are believers in Boxwood’s unique approach to candidate selection and qualification. While this process is different, we feel that it genuinely offers both candidates and the company the best opportunity to get to know each other at a deeper level than is typical with the conventional interview approach.
