The selected professional will support a diverse equipment footprint spanning approximately 35 major machines, 50+ peripheral systems, and equipment from roughly 50 OEMs. This role goes beyond routine maintenance—the mechanic will diagnose failures to the component level, identify root causes, use machine-performance data to detect abnormalities, and contribute to predictive-maintenance and equipment-reliability initiatives. This position is 100% onsite and requires someone comfortable working directly on complex machinery in an active manufacturing environment. Key Responsibilities
  • Perform preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance on CNC and precision manufacturing equipment.
  • Troubleshoot complex mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, servo, and machine-control systems.

    • Supporting manufacturing peripherals
  • Analyze real-time machine information including servo load, temperature, vibration, acoustics, and other performance indicators to identify developing equipment abnormalities.
  • Support predictive-maintenance initiatives focused on reducing breakdowns and preventing product defects.
  • Plan repair activities and determine appropriate methods, tooling, and sequence of operations.
  • Work closely with engineering teams to troubleshoot and resolve complex equipment problems.
  • Program and operate CNC equipment as necessary to verify successful repairs.
  • Read and interpret electrical and mechanical schematics, drawings, specifications, pneumatic/hydraulic diagrams, and ladder logic.
  • Troubleshoot PLCs, servo drives, controllers, and related hardware/software.
  • Document repairs, failure information, corrective actions, and root-cause findings within maintenance systems.
  • Identify opportunities to improve preventive-maintenance instructions and asset Bills of Materials.
  • Recommend equipment or machine-design improvements to engineering management.
  • Perform tank cleanout, TPM activities, and light repairs as required.
  • Follow applicable FDA Quality System Regulation, ISO 13485, and ISO 9001 requirements.
  • Maintain a safe, organized, and compliant manufacturing environment.
Required Qualifications
  • 3–5 years of CNC machine maintenance and troubleshooting experience preferred, with flexibility based on the depth of hands-on technical experience.
  • At minimum, 1+ year of relevant mechanical, manufacturing, machine-shop, or design-shop experience.
  • Hands-on experience maintaining or troubleshooting mechanical and electrical systems within a manufacturing environment.
  • Ability to troubleshoot equipment to the component level.
  • Ability to read and interpret:
    • Electrical schematics
    • Mechanical drawings
    • Pneumatic systems
    • Hydraulic systems
    • Ladder logic

  • High school diploma or GED required.
  • Ability to work 100% onsite in Franklin, Massachusetts.
Preferred Qualifications
  • 2+ years of Ballbar testing and analysis experience.
  • 3–5 years working with Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Heidenhain, and/or Mazatrol controllers.
  • PLC troubleshooting experience.
  • Servo drive hardware and software experience.
  • Experience maintaining equipment from manufacturers such as Mazak, KERN, Tsugami, EuroTech, Rofin, Fanuc EDM, Maier, or Citizen.
  • Associate degree in Advanced Manufacturing or a related technical discipline.
  • Relevant technical or industrial maintenance certification.
  • Experience within an FDA-regulated manufacturing environment.
  • Familiarity with ISO 13485 and ISO 9001.
  • Welding experience.
  • Experience supporting predictive or condition-based maintenance programs.
  • Strong root-cause analysis capabilities.
