Precision CNC Systems Reliability Technician

Uptime is your craft

Bring your diagnostic instincts and make complex CNC equipment run better, longer, and safer. If you love digging into data, taming control faults, and turning findings into measurable CI wins, this is your arena.

What you’ll do

• Execute expert break‑fix and preventive maintenance across mechanical, electrical, and control domains; design reliability upgrades.
• Program and troubleshoot CNC/automation controls to resolve software, hardware, and configuration defects.
• Apply predictive diagnostics—infrared thermography, ultrasonic testing, power quality analysis, laser interferometry, ball bar, vibration analysis—to anticipate and prevent failures.
• Champion CI projects using structured tools to deliver results and cost savings.
• Identify, source, and qualify parts; recommend engineered alternatives that boost reliability.
• Perform to industry standards independently; enforce 5S and pristine housekeeping.
• Operate machine tools (lathe, drill press, grinder) to make/repair parts; perform welding when needed.
• Investigate new maintenance methods and technologies; roll out best practices to ATS sites and update procedures.
• Contribute to cost analysis for new equipment, rebuilds, savings, and innovation proposals.
• Maintain rigorous CMMS records; mine data to drive action.
• Provide technical inputs for sales quotations; complete time‑and‑materials assignments.
• Coach developing technicians and, when assigned, act as project manager.
• Advance your skills via OJT and self‑study; always work safely and correct hazards when you see them.

What you’ll need

• High school diploma/GED required.
• Associate’s degree (technical) plus 7+ years related industry experience; or 10+ years relevant industry experience.
• Proficiency with predictive technologies, precision alignments, and CNC/process equipment maintenance.
• Fluency in electrical, mechanical, fluid power, and control systems; able to analyze, synthesize solutions, and repair.
• Comfort with hand/specialized tools; ability to travel as required.
• Six Sigma background a plus.

Environment & physical requirements

• Frequent standing, walking, reaching, and hands‑on work; climbing ladders/lifts and balancing at height.
• Regular stooping, kneeling, crouching, or crawling in confined spaces; occasional sitting.
• Lift/move 50+ lbs occasionally; frequent need for close and color vision.
• Occasional outdoor exposure and risk of electrical shock.
• Loud factory setting; potential exposure to hazardous materials and greasy/slippery floors.
