A day in this role
Morning in Madison: your first stop is a customer running high-mix parts on a 5-axis VMC. You verify alarms, dive into PLC I/O, and trace an intermittent fault to a loose connector. After lunch, you commission a new 3‑axis mill, level it, check geometry, run test cuts, and coach operators on best practices. You wrap the day by documenting your findings and calling another client to schedule preventive maintenance.
Why this position stands out
- Work hands-on with cutting-edge CNC machinery across the Madison market.
- Focus on what you do best—diagnosing and repairing—while we minimize paperwork.
