Industrial Engineering Technician
About The Position
The Industrial Engineering Technician reports to the Engineering Manager and supports research and development activities, electromechanical maintenance of equipment and facilities, mechanical drafting, and CNC programming. The role coordinates with production and engineering to troubleshoot problems, eliminate root causes of equipment downtime, and keep factory assets operating safely and efficiently. It also supports preventive maintenance, R&D test setups and data gathering, manufacturing documentation, and engineering projects. The position interprets blueprints and GD&T specifications, selects tooling, sets up and programs CNC machines, proves programs, and troubleshoots programming issues. It provides manufacturing support by loading and proving CNC programs and improving machining processes. The job combines shop-floor and office work and requires communication, organization, discipline, and the ability to manage multiple priorities. The posting describes the role as hybrid in the summary but also identifies the location as on-site in Wooster, Ohio.
