Your impact (challenge-oriented)

Imagine a critical surfacing line goes down. In minutes, you:

1. Review the alarm, consult schematics, and isolate the fault with standard electronic test gear.
2. Swap the defective component, verify signals, and bring the tool back within spec.
3. Document the fix, update the SOP to prevent recurrence, and brief the team.

That mix of urgency, craftsmanship, and knowledge-sharing is the core of this job.

• Train, mentor, and provide direction to individuals and small teams.

All duties are completed to defined standards and in full compliance with company policies, with dependable attendance, overtime readiness, and schedule flexibility.

What you’ll bring

• 1–2 years of maintenance experience in manufacturing (optical processing exposure is a plus).
• Foundational mechanical and electrical aptitude.
• Comfort with schematics; HVAC and/or welding experience preferred but not required.
• Basic math; computer literacy.
• Strong written and verbal communication; excellent organization; keen attention to detail.

Work setting & physical demands

• Standing and walking for most of the shift.
• Working with and around chemicals; some areas can be wet/dirty or have strong smells.
• Regularly lifting up to 30 lbs. to waist height.
• Flexibility for overtime in service of our customers.
