• Respond promptly to machine downtime events, diagnose mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic faults, and restore production as quickly and safely as possible.
• Perform hands-on repairs including lubrication system service, coolant system maintenance, way cleaning, filter replacements, belt and coupling inspections, and basic servo and spindle diagnostics.
• Document all maintenance activities accurately in the computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), including work orders, preventive maintenance completions, parts used, and time to repair.
• Maintain, organize, and track spare parts inventory relevant to machine uptime, including filters, belts, seals, sensors, and other consumable components.
• Communicate clearly and consistently with machine operators and maintenance leadership regarding machine condition, repair status, and recurring issues.
• Support the installation, leveling, alignment, and commissioning of new or relocated CNC and production equipment.
• Apply troubleshooting skills to a variety of electrically controlled and mechanically actuated production equipment, such as programmable automation, industrial robotics, conveyors, actuator-driven machinery, and electrically controlled grinders.
• Read and interpret equipment manuals, schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical drawings to diagnose and resolve issues effectively.
• Follow structured maintenance and continuous improvement practices, contributing to a clean, organized, and efficient maintenance workspace.

Essential Skills

• At least 2 years of equipment maintenance experience on electrically controlled and mechanically actuated production equipment, such as programmable automation, industrial robotics, conveyors, actuator-driven machinery, or electrically controlled grinders.
• Strong troubleshooting skills in mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems.
• Working knowledge of mechanical systems including hydraulics, pneumatics, lubrication, coolant systems, drives, and motion components.
• Basic electrical troubleshooting skills, including the ability to read wiring diagrams and identify faulty components.
• Ability to read and interpret equipment manuals, schematics, and technical drawings.
• Hands-on experience with CNC machine maintenance and electromechanical systems.
• Ability to document maintenance activities accurately in a CMMS or similar system.
• Clear and professional communication skills with operators and maintenance leadership.
• Capability to work in an ITAR-compliant manufacturing environment, following all applicable regulations and procedures.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Formal training or certification in electromechanical systems, industrial maintenance, or machining technology.
• Experience with rigging, machine moving, or equipment installation.
• Exposure to Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), 5S, or other structured maintenance or lean methodologies.
• Forklift or scissor lift certification.
• Experience with machinery installation and rigging in a production environment.
• Comfort operating material handling equipment such as forklifts as required for maintenance tasks.
