The
Assembly & Test Technician I–IV supports the hands‑on assembly, integration, inspection, testing, troubleshooting, and manufacturing execution of mechanical and electromechanical sub‑assemblies used in large‑format laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) 3D printers.

This role works closely with Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Operations, and other technicians to translate engineering requirements into high‑quality physical hardware and repeatable manufacturing execution.

This position may be filled at the Technician I, II, III, or IV level based on demonstrated knowledge, experience, technical capability, independence, complexity of work, and technical leadership.

• Assemble and integrate mechanical and electromechanical LPBF printer sub-assemblies using engineering drawings, BOMs, specifications, travelers, and work instructions.
• Install mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, fluid, motion, sensor, wiring, harness, and related hardware as applicable.
• Perform precision fastening, torqueing, alignment, leveling, measurement, and dimensional verification.
• Verify hardware configuration, workmanship, critical characteristics, and dimensional requirements.
• Identify missing, damaged, incorrect, or improperly configured components.
• Identify potential fit, form, function, manufacturability, accessibility, tooling, or integration concerns.
• Protect precision, high-value, and high-surface-finish components from damage or contamination.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Operations, and other technicians to meet production priorities.
• Provide technical guidance and support to other technicians as appropriate to level.
• Perform functional and acceptance testing of completed sub-assemblies.
• Execute mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, pressure, leak, motion, and other applicable subsystem tests.
• Configure and operate test equipment, fixtures, and instrumentation appropriate to the work.
• Evaluate test results against engineering requirements and acceptance criteria.
• Identify abnormal conditions and communicate test results, observations, and hardware behavior.
• Troubleshoot test failures at a complexity appropriate to experience and level.
• Verify hardware performance following adjustment, rework, or corrective action.

• Apply structured troubleshooting methods to mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and electromechanical hardware issues.
• Use measurements, observations, test data, configuration information, and physical evidence to investigate failure modes.
• Perform approved rework, adjustment, repair, alignment, and corrective‑action activities.
• Determine when issues can be resolved within established processes and when Engineering or additional technical support is required.
• Support root‑cause investigation and resolution of hardware, process, component, and workmanship issues.
• Clearly communicate troubleshooting observations, findings, and corrective actions.
• Support other technicians during troubleshooting and rework activities as appropriate to level.
