Manufacturing Operations Technician

Brunswick, ME
· On-site
· Anticipated start:
November 2,2026

Our first dedicated advanced manufacturing technician. Run robotic large-format printing and machining for commercial tooling and defense programs, on-site in Brunswick,Maine.

We are a manufacturing technology company specializing in manufacturing systems for the maritime industry and national defense. Our customers are commercial boat builders who need composite tooling faster and cheaper than traditional methods allow, and defense programs that need expendable autonomous systems built at the speed of the threat. We’regrowing!

This is our first dedicated advanced manufacturing technician hire. You won’t inherit a system – you’ll build one. Working directly with the founding team and engineering staff, you’ll be the key to success on project deliverables on the shop floor in a fast-moving advanced manufacturing environment: 3D print material preparation, execution of machine instructions, and print post-processing activities. The work spans both commercial tooling and defense programs.

In the same week, you may be printing an unmanned surface vessel, milling a marine composite tool, or performing finishing work, assembly, and integration. This role is for someone who pays close attention to detail, takes pride in quality craftsmanship, and is comfortable performing hands-ontasks.

Responsibilities will evolve, but the typical tasks will beto:

• Operate robotic large-format additive manufacturing systems to produce composite marine tooling and vessel components
• Set up, prove out, and run machining jobs on our robotic systems, including work holding, fixturing, work offsets, and tool selection
• Program and configure industrial equipment including toolpaths, process parameters, and machine setup for new and repeat jobs
• Set up and execute manufacturing jobs including material loading, calibration, and in-process monitoring
• Simulate and verify programs before cutting to prevent collisions and to manage reach limits and singularities
• Inspect machined parts against drawings and models, and document results
• Troubleshoot process issues in real time and translate shop floor observations into documented fixes
• Own routine maintenance of production equipment, including maintenance logs and a preventive maintenance schedule
• Handle, prep, and apply composite materials in support of tooling and vessel production
• Support post-processing, finishing, and inspection of printed and composite components
• Flag material or process issues early and help develop solutions

• Work independently across multiple job types with minimal day-to-day direction
• Keep the shop organized, safe, and ready to work every day, including tool control, housekeeping, material storage, and shop standards
• Own development and documentation of work instructions, setup sheets, and quality checkpoints
• Track and report production data; flag deviations and propose fixes
• Contribute to continuous improvement. We expect everyone to drive improvement cycles, not just participate inthem

This role requires standing, bending, repetitive task work, and lifting to 50 lbs. for extended periods on the shop floor, along with comfort working around industrial equipment and materials.

This is a small company. You’ll occasionally do things that aren’t on this list, and that’s by design. Being a self-starter is critical to your success. This role is expected to adapt as the company grows.

As Evergreen grows, this role could progressively take ownership of areas such as shop safety programs, materials and inventory…
