Are You the Go-To Person for Solving Problems on the Production Floor?

Do you have hands-on CNC machine experience, strong mechanical knowledge, and a talent for troubleshooting equipment? Are you someone who enjoys working with machinery, figuring out how things work, and finding solutions when things go wrong?

MMT is looking for a skilled, mechanically inclined Manufacturing Application Technician to join our team in Angleton, Texas!

• Quality & Precision: Use precision measuring instruments to inspect components, monitor quality, and ensure products meet specifications.
• Root Cause Analysis: Investigate production and equipment issues and support corrective and preventive actions.
• Preventive Maintenance: Assist with routine equipment maintenance and upkeep to maintain safe and reliable operations.
• Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve safety, quality, efficiency, equipment performance, and manufacturing costs.
• Team Collaboration: Work closely with Manufacturing, Engineering, Maintenance, and Quality teams to solve problems and support production goals.
• Training & Support: Assist coworkers with equipment operation, troubleshooting, and manufacturing best practices.
• Documentation: Maintain accurate production, maintenance, and process records.
