Mitsubishi Sinker EDM Field Service Technologist

Your Impact, Story by Story

Imagine arriving at a manufacturer’s facility where a critical Mitsubishi Sinker EDM is down. Production is waiting. You quickly interpret the schematic, trace a high-voltage issue, realign a mechanical assembly, and validate results with precise measurements. By afternoon, the spindle is humming and the shop is back on schedule. Later, you jump on a call to coach another customer through a quick fix. That’s the kind of impact you’ll make—every day.
