• Assemble mechanical systems that include machined parts, motors, actuators, sensors, and other industrial hardware.
• Assemble and plumb pneumatic systems, including solenoid valves and pneumatic actuators.
• Route wires and cables on machines to ensure a clean, professional appearance and support reliable operation.
• Assist with mechanical troubleshooting and debugging of custom equipment during build and commissioning phases.
• Support installation of custom machinery at client facilities, including mechanical assembly and final adjustments on site.
• Fabricate custom parts using manual milling machines and manual lathes to support prototype and production builds.
• Carry out additional tasks related to machine assembly and support as directed by project leads or engineering staff.

Essential Skills

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• At least 3 years of experience with precision mechanical assembly of industrial or automated machinery.
• At least 1 year of experience with manual machining using a manual mill and lathe.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and ability to interpret mechanical assemblies and hardware requirements.
• Experience with mechanical assembly of custom machinery using precision measuring tools such as calipers, micrometers, gage blocks, and parallels.
• Hands-on experience assembling mechanical systems including machined parts, motors, actuators, sensors, and related industrial components.
• Ability to assemble and plumb pneumatic systems, including solenoid valves and pneumatic actuators.
• Basic electrical and wiring capabilities sufficient to route wires and cables on machinery.
• Good organizational skills and strong housekeeping habits to maintain a clean and efficient work area.
• Basic computer skills for documentation, communication, and accessing technical information.
• Ability to work independently on several tasks simultaneously while managing shifting priorities.
• Strong interpersonal skills to interact effectively with personnel from a wide range of disciplines and levels.
• Positive attitude and strong work ethic in a fast-paced, project-driven environment.
• Willingness and ability to travel to client sites to support installations and field work.
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds safely during assembly and installation activities.
• Ownership and use of personal tools appropriate for mechanical assembly work.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Electrical wiring experience is a plus and supports broader involvement in electro-mechanical system integration.
• Experience working with automated equipment and robotics is beneficial for handling cutting-edge automation projects.
• Comfort working in a collaborative environment with engineers, technicians, and automation specialists.
• Ability to adapt to varied daily tasks and non-repetitive work, supporting both unique builds and small production runs.
• Interest in developing skills in industrial automation, pneumatics, and electro-mechanical systems.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality and precision in all assembly and fabrication work.

Why Work Here?

You will join a growing organization that works with cutting-edge automation and robotics, offering meaningful opportunities to expand your skills in industrial automation, pneumatics, and electro-mechanical systems. The work is hands-on and varied, avoiding repetitive assembly line tasks and allowing you to contribute to unique projects from concept to installation. You will collaborate closely with engineers, technicians, and automation specialists in a supportive environment that values learning, craftsmanship, and advancement, providing room to grow your career as the company continues to expand.

Work Environment

The role is based in a shop-floor environment equipped with electrical, mechanical, and pneumatic assembly stations. You will regularly use hand tools, power tools, precision measuring instruments, and test equipment to build and verify custom machinery. Work includes a mix of independent tasks and team-based collaboration, with a fast-paced atmosphere and shifting priorities driven by project timelines. Occasional travel to client sites is required to support installation and field service activities.

The culture emphasizes safety, quality, and precision, with strong focus on maintaining an organized workspace and following safe work practices throughout the assembly and installation process.
