Engineering Technician

About the Role

Build custom automation machines from the ground up. Join a team designing and assembling custom automation equipment where your hands-on expertise directly brings complex systems to life.

Responsibilities

• Build custom automation machines from scratch, not maintenance work
• Assemble and integrate mechanical systems, subassemblies, and full machine builds using drawings and schematics
• Install and connect mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and basic electrical components
• Perform precision alignment, tuning, and system integration
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues during build, test, and startup
• Partner with engineering to ensure machines meet performance and design specs
• Support equipment testing, validation, and commissioning (including occasional onsite installs)
• Contribute to a clean, safe, and organized build environment

Requirements

• 3+ years proven experience building full machines, not just maintaining or repairing equipment
• Strong mechanical aptitude with the ability to read and interpret blueprints, schematics, and layouts
• Hands-on experience with assembly, integration, and system troubleshooting
• Ability to work independently, think critically, and solve complex build challenges

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work on custom, one-of-a-kind machines without repetitive production work
• High-visibility role with direct impact on finished equipment
• Collaborative, fast-paced environment with strong engineering partnership
• Opportunity to join a top local employer with long-term potential
