About The Position

The Engineering Technician supports daily manufacturing operations by building, testing, troubleshooting, and improving manufacturing processes that support product quality, throughput, and consistency. The role involves working directly with parts, tooling, fixtures, welding, and CNC equipment to identify issues and implement practical process improvements. The technician performs hands-on testing, collects production data, and uses results to improve processes. The role works independently while adapting to changing production priorities, and partners with Engineering, Design, Support, and Production teams to resolve production issues and improve tooling, automation, workflows, speed, safety, and consistency. The technician evaluates process changes, identifies root causes, implements corrective actions, validates lasting improvements, and documents process changes, troubleshooting steps, and best practices. Other related duties may be assigned. The position works across office and manufacturing environments, with regular shop-floor presence and required PPE in manufacturing areas. The role may involve noise, moving machinery, metal materials, temperature variation, and industrial hazards, with safety protocols to be followed. Compensation is $32.00–$42.00 per hour.
