$22.89-$47.78/hr Requirements 5+ years experience in mechanic/manufacturing/machinist environments or equivalent training Hands‑on mechanical skills (repairing equipment, machining, fabrication, troubleshooting, assembly) Ability to read drawings, sketches, models, and SolidWorks specifications Comfortable wiring, plumbing, assembling, and testing automation equipment Experience with machine tools (lathes, milling machines, welding equipment) Ability to verify dimensions, alignments, and clearances Willingness to attend training (Electrical, Mechanical, Hydraulic, Pneumatic, PLC/Robotics) Must pass background check & drug test Must be willing to work overtime when needed Detail‑oriented and able to work independently AS in engineering/technology is a plus Hands‑on skills from working on cars, farms, homes, etc. are a strong bonus Why This Role Stands Out This is a high‑tech, high‑creativity role where you help bring custom automation equipment to life. You'll work with engineers, technicians, and cutting‑edge systems—robots, lasers, dial indexers, pick‑and‑place mechanisms, automatic feeders, packaging systems, induction heating, machining, welding, forming, pressing, and more. If you love building things, solving problems, and working with advanced automation, this is a dream job. A Day in the Life Work side‑by‑side with automation engineers and technicians to turn designs into real machines Study SolidWorks models, drawings, sketches, and specs to plan builds Organize incoming materials from the machine shop and outside vendors Calculate dimensions, plan layouts, and determine assembly methods Verify dimensions, alignments, and clearances Lift, position, and secure machine parts Fit and assemble components into complete mechanisms Wire and plumb machines with guidance from engineers Set up, use, and troubleshoot basic automation electronics (sensors, VFDs, etc.) Operate machine tools (lathes, mills, welding equipment) to fabricate parts Verify machined parts meet specifications Participate in training to expand knowledge of automation programming and maintenance What Helps You Thrive Strong mechanical aptitude and problem‑solving ability Ability to interpret technical documents and models Comfort working with tools, machinery, and automation systems Curiosity and willingness to learn new technologies Ability to work independently while supporting a collaborative engineering team
