The Rack & Tool Maker is responsible for designing, fabricating, modifying, repairing, and maintaining custom racks, fixtures, jigs, tooling, and related production equipment used throughout our manufacturing operation. This position also partners with the Maintenance Department to help maintain manufacturing equipment and support production uptime.
