Job Description

Do you love bikes? Do you have mechanical experience? Do you want to contribute to a worthy cause?

The Silicon Valley Bicycle Exchange is looking for an experienced head mechanic who can tackle more advanced jobs like brake bleeds and suspension servicing (forks and shocks) balanced with strong knowledge of component compatibility. Bring your enthusiasm and experience and feel good contributing to a worthy cause all at the same time.

Along with wrenching on bikes, you will also interact with our volunteers. You will join a team in a rewarding and fulfilling position.

We receive bikes of all kinds and from many different time periods. Unlike a commercial bike shop that sells only new bikes, we receive interesting bikes and parts spanning many decades of cycling history and all categories of bikes (road bikes, mountain bikes, hybrids, cross/gravel, kid’s bikes and more).

Please apply by filling out this form. Questions and inquiries may be directed to careers@bikex.org.

About the Org

Silicon Valley Bicycle Exchange (SVBE) began in 1993 repairing bicycles for clients of the Mountain View Community Services Agency (MVCSA). With donations from Xerox Corp., SVBE began renting a small workshop at 2566 Leghorn Street in Mountain View and set up a workshop and regular volunteer workday events to receive and repair used bicycles. Over the next 14 years, the program repaired and donated bicycles and helmets to low-income individuals through its partnership with MVCSA. In 2007, SVBE became a program of the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition and in 2014 the SVBE was granted IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit status and began operating as a separate entity.
