Automation Equipment Mechanical Integration Specialist

Is this you?

Do you love turning a detailed print into a real, functioning machine? Can you mount actuators and sensors with precision, route cables cleanly, and prepare complex systems so the controls team can power up with confidence? If so, Matrix Design wants to put the right person in the right seat—you.

We’re committed to Developing Great People, Building a Great Company
, and Delivering Great Results
. We embody six behaviors: a can‑do spirit, craftsmanship, honoring commitments, continuous improvement, teamwork, and purpose‑driven work.

• Build with precision:
  Assemble mechanical elements of custom automation equipment from engineering drawings and specifications; square, align, and secure assemblies.
• Install with care:
  Mount enclosures, actuators, sensors, and related hardware per design intent.
• Prepare for power‑up:
  Route and organize cables and wires to specification so systems are ready for electrical integration—no live power connections.
• Own quality:
  Verify alignment and fit, document progress, flag issues early, and follow safety and process standards.
• Solve together:
  Partner with engineers and technicians to overcome mechanical build challenges; keep tools, materials, and work areas organized.

• Print reading and translating technical documentation into accurate builds
• Strong mechanical aptitude and hands‑on assembly techniques
• Familiarity with industrial components: actuators, sensors, and control panels
• Cable routing and wire management fundamentals without energizing circuits
• Detail orientation, effective communication, teamwork, and process discipline
• Organizational habits that keep parts and tools flowing

• High school diploma or equivalent; technical certificate or associate degree preferred
• 1–3 years experience in mechanical assembly or production, preferably in industrial automation
• Comfort using hand and power tools common to assembly
• Working knowledge of manufacturing/assembly safety practices
• Ability to stand, bend, kneel, and lift up to 50 lbs regularly
• Comfort with repetitive tasks and sustained physical activity in a production environment
