Arnold Magnetic Technologies – Technology Center

At the Arnold Magnetics Technology Center, we design and build high-performance electric motor components for some of the most demanding applications in the world — from aerospace and defense to motor sport and academic research. Our Technology Center is a small, fast-moving engineering lab where ideas become working prototypes. We’re looking for an Assembly Technician who enjoys precision work, creative problem-solving, and seeing their craftsmanship come to life in cutting-edge hardware.

• Hands-On Assembly & Fabrication
• Perform stator coil insertions, lamination stacking, and permanent-magnet assembly.
• Assemble, test, and debug prototype and pre-production components.
• Use hand tools and precision instruments (micrometers, calipers, Gaussmeters, Fluxmeters, etc.) to verify tolerances and performance.

• Follow and improve assembly and testing work instructions according to quality standards.
• Record build data, test results, and observations with high attention to detail.
• Work closely with other engineers to refine designs and manufacturing methods.
• Design or modify tooling and fixtures to support prototype builds.
• Participate in design reviews and provide hands‑on feedback from the build process.

Required

• 2- or 4-year technical degree or equivalent hands‑on experience.
• Skilled at working with small components and fine wiring within tight tolerances.
• Demonstrated craftsmanship, precision, and pride in producing high-quality work.
• Comfortable reading drawings and technical instructions.
• Basic CAD or 3D modeling experience.

Preferred

• Familiarity with electromagnetic assemblies, motor winding, or electrical testing.
• Curiosity about how things work and eagerness to learn new techniques.
• Previous experience in manufacturing, assembly, or R&D environments.

• Be part of a small, innovative team where your work directly contributes to next-generation electric motor technology.
• Collaborate with experienced engineers in a dynamic prototyping environment.
• Work on mission-critical projects across aerospace, defense, and motor sport industries.

• Manufacturing environment with exposure to running machinery.

• Level of travel required:
