ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a versatile, detail-oriented Mechanical Assembly Technician to join our custom fabrication and design shop. In this role, you won't just stand on an assembly line repeating one task; you will build complex, short-run, and one-off mechanical systems from the ground up. You'll work directly from engineering drawings to assemble, fit, wire, and test custom machinery, welded structures, and precision sub-assemblies. If you thrive on variety, take pride in clean craftsmanship, and enjoy solving real-world mechanical puzzles alongside engineers and fabricators, this role is for you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Assemble complex mechanical assemblies, custom machinery, and structural frames using hand tools, power tools, and precision measurement equipment. Read and interpret mechanical blueprints, CAD drawings, weldments, and GD&T symbols. Install pneumatic lines, hydraulic components, linear motion systems, gearboxes, bearings, and drive shafts. Perform preliminary mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic dry-runs and functional testing on completed builds. Inspect incoming fabricated parts and final assemblies using calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, and height gauges. Identify design flaws, fitment issues, or interference problems and collaborate directly with the design engineering team to implement shop-floor solutions. Assist with light machining (drill press, cold saw, manual lathe/mill) and metal prep work as needed. Route basic electrical wiring, sensors, and junction boxes for automated or motorized assemblies. Rig, crane, and package completed machinery for shipping or client delivery. Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment adhering to shop safety protocols.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

Experience:

2-5+ years of experience in mechanical assembly, custom machinery building, millwright work, or equipment maintenance (custom job-shop experience preferred).

Blueprint Reading:

Strong proficiency in reading 2D manufacturing drawings, assembly schematics, and bill of materials (BOMs).

Tool Mastery:

Skilled in using torque wrenches, precision alignment tools, pneumatic tools, pop rivet guns, and metalworking equipment.

Basic Shop Math:

Proficient in mechanical math, geometric measurements, and unit conversions (fractional/decimal inches and metric). High mechanical aptitude and a natural problem-solving mindset. Strong communication skills—comfortable providing feedback to design engineers. Self-motivated with the ability to work independently or as part of a small team.

Nice to have:

Basic TIG/MIG welding skills for tacking or light bracket modification. Experience operating manual machine tools (Lathe/Bridgeport) or CNC machinery (VMCs, Press Brakes, Lasers). Basic electrical troubleshooting skills (multimeter usage, 24V DC control wiring). Forklift and overhead crane certification.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS

Able to lift and carry up to 50 lbs. and work on your feet in a shop environment for extended periods Manual dexterity to handle small hardware and delicate components. Willing to drive a forklift, if needed (will train if not certified)

Pay:

$20.00 - $30.00 per hour Expected hours: 15.0 - 40.0 per week

Work Location:

In person
