Production Technician
What to Expect
The Production Technician – Field Service is a hybrid role supporting both real-time production troubleshooting and customer field service needs. Approximately 60% of this position focuses on diagnosing and resolving production line failures to keep manufacturing operations running smoothly, while the remaining time is dedicated to providing on-site technical support to customers. This individual will also participate in pre-construction meetings, job-site troubleshooting, and system commissioning. The ideal candidate is hands-on, adaptable, professional under pressure, and willing to travel on short notice. This is a mid-level role requiring adaptability, professionalism, and calm problem-solving under pressure.
What You’ll Do
- Diagnose and troubleshoot production line issues in real time, including electrical, wiring, mechanical, and test/debug failures.
- Support production teams by repairing fixtures, resolving process interruptions, and minimizing downtime.
- Support field service activities, including product installation, commissioning, and issue resolution at customer sites.
- Participate in pre-construction and coordination meetings to review system layouts, electrical requirements, and installation details.
- Read and interpret wiring diagrams, schematics, and construction drawings to diagnose and resolve issues.

- Represent i2Systems professionally at all times, maintaining composure and strong communication in demanding field environments.
What You’ll Bring
- 2–5 years of experience in production support, field service, or technical troubleshooting — ideally in an electrical, electronics, or manufacturing environment.

- Hands-on mechanical and troubleshooting skills with a proactive approach to problem solving.
- Professional communication skills and the ability to interact confidently with customers and contractors.
