Travel Opportunity (Key Highlight)

• Travel to Mexico (as needed) to assist with machine installation, setup, and support

• Willingness and ability to travel internationally (Mexico)

Bonus Experience (Nice to Have)

• Previous machine building or industrial assembly
• Panel wiring and electrical troubleshooting experience
• Background in automotive repair, maintenance, or hands-on hobby work
• Familiarity with manufacturing or production environments

Why Join Us?

• ✅ Low-stress, low-volume environment — focus on quality, not speed

• ✅ International travel opportunities for installation projects
• ✅ Supportive, laid-back team culture
• ✅ Full benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, 401(k)
• ✅ Paid time off & holidays
• ✅ Stable, predictable work—no chaotic production lines
