  • Support small production runs and process development activities
  • Create technical reports, application documentation, and customer training materials
  • Serve as a technical resource for internal engineering, design, and sales teams
  • Participate in customer visits and industry trade shows
  • Travel occasionally to customer sites for support and project work

What We're Looking For

  • Associate's degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent hands-on experience)
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and a passion for understanding how machinery works
  • Experience assembling, testing, maintaining, or troubleshooting industrial equipment is highly valued
  • Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings
  • Familiarity with PCs, Windows environments, pneumatics, electronics, and PLCs
  • Excellent problem-solving and troubleshooting skills
  • Strong communication and customer service abilities
  • Experience training operators or technicians is a plus
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office

Why This Opportunity?

  • Direct path into a customer-facing engineering role
  • Extensive hands-on training and mentorship
  • Exposure to advanced manufacturing technology
  • Variety of responsibilities spanning engineering, customer support, and process development
  • Competitive salary of $80,000-$85,000
  • Opportunity for travel and professional growth

If you're a mechanically inclined engineer who enjoys working with equipment, solving real-world problems, and building customer relationships, we'd love to hear from you.
