Mechanical Support Technician (Midas)
About The Position
The Mechanical Support Technician is a hands-on, production-focused role on SprintRay’s Midas Team. The technician works directly on the Midas production line, learning the equipment and its mechanical operations and serving as the first-shift point of contact for troubleshooting. The role identifies and resolves mechanical issues to minimize downtime and keep production running efficiently; it is not a traditional maintenance technician position. Responsibilities span operating the production line, preparing and packaging materials and products, completing documentation, and maintaining a safe and organized workplace. The technician also performs routine mechanical adjustments, minor repairs, equipment inspections, and preventive maintenance, while documenting issues and escalating repairs that exceed their training or authority. The position is full-time and onsite in Los Angeles, California, with a 4:00 AM shift start and mandatory overtime, including Saturdays, as needed.

- Strong mechanical aptitude and proficiency with basic hand tools.
- Willingness to learn Midas machine operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting, with a strong sense of ownership for equipment performance and reliability.

- Ability to work collaboratively and communicate clearly and effectively.
- Ability to consistently report for a 4:00 AM shift start and work mandatory overtime, including Saturdays, as needed.
- Ability to work in a production environment while wearing required personal protective equipment (PPE).
- Ability to stand and walk throughout the scheduled shift.
- Ability to safely lift, carry, and move materials weighing up to 50 lbs. using proper handling techniques.
- Ability to reach, bend, and stoop as needed to perform essential job duties.

- Complete required production documentation accurately, thoroughly, and on time.
- Safely lift, transport, and handle materials in support of daily production.
