About The Position

The Industrialization Technician supports Industrialization engineers with products and processes in development, using data-driven methods and a customer-centric approach. The role helps transition products from proof of concept through engineering pilots, laboratory testing, and codification, and supports the team in ensuring designs and processes meet technical requirements. The technician tracks materials, samples, and test results, manages multiple project requests through a central task-planning system, and conducts engineering pilot builds and testing for lens and frame technologies. The position also involves building and testing production fixtures, resolving process issues with engineers and other stakeholders, operating engineering sampling and quality laboratory equipment, and documenting test results. The technician supports engineering drawings, specifications, work instructions, material transfers, procurement, shipments, and preparation of materials for engineering builds. The role works with downstream customer teams on continuous improvement of product performance, processes, production technologies, and methodologies. The position is full-time. The stated pay range is 30.75–43.66; the posting does not specify a currency or pay period. Benefits may include health care, retirement savings, paid time off/vacation, and employee discounts. A competitive bonus and/or commission plan may also be offered.
