Manufacturing Technician

Job Overview

We are looking for a skilled manufacturing technician to drive engineering builds, and early manufacturing scale-up of complex power electronics assemblies. You will work closely with engineering, manufacturing, operations and equipment teams to establish repeatable processes, execute and track unit builds, and support product launch development through all phases of the engineering lifecycle. Your technical and timely feedback to the engineering team is pivotal to drive product improvements and advancements with specific attention to safety, quality and reliability. This role is versatile in nature and welcomes innovative, outside-of-the-box thinking to drive excellence in our products.

How You Will Contribute

Rig and move large fabricated enclosures, weldments, and sub-assemblies using a 2-ton overhead workstation crane, chain hoists, and a mobile gantry

Select, inspect, and rig hardware for each lift: web slings, shackles, eyebolts, and spreader beams; verify working load limits against load weight and sling angle before every pick

Identify center of gravity and pick points on large asymmetric assemblies; use tag lines and a spotter to control the load

Operate a sit-down counterbalance forklift to receive, stage, and position cabinet frames, panels, and hardware

Build and square cabinet structures on rolling assembly fixtures: set panels, install turnbuckle braces, shim, and align to print

Torque structural fasteners to spec, verify squareness and flatness, and document before handoff to the next station

Perform daily pre-use inspection on slings, hooks, hoists, and forklift; tag out and remove damaged gear from service

Work from mechanical drawings, weldment prints, and BOMs; redline and feed back errors so the instructions improve

Help build assembly fixtures, carts, and lift aids as we scale the line

Keep rigging gear staged, inspected, and organized

What You Will Bring

We have a short list of must-have requirements. We prioritize a strong grip on first principles, hands-on skills, and a sense of initiative. Domain-specific knowledge and experience will help determine the career level for each hire.

Must Have Requirements

3+ years in manufacturing, fabrication, or industrial assembly with hands-on rigging as a regular part of the job

Forklift certification; we can certify onsite for the right candidate

Demonstrated overhead crane and hoist experience with loads above 500 lb

Able to read mechanical drawings, weldment prints, and BOMs

Confident with hand and power tools, torque wrenches, and layout/measuring tools

Able to lift 50 lb, work from ladders, and stand for a full shift

Clear communication and standard crane hand signals

Nice to Haves

Qualified rigger training or NCCCO rigger certification

Experience with large sheet metal enclosures, switchgear, transformers, or shipping-frame builds

Scissor or boom lift certification

Welding or structural fabrication background
