Advanced Manufacturing Technician – Industrial Automation & Machinery
Full-Time | Monday–Friday | $70K–$85K Bonuses | 100% Paid Health Insurance
Ready to work on powerful, high-tech machinery and show others how to run it?
This Service Technician role puts you on the front lines of modern manufacturing. You’ll be setting up cutting-edge fabrication machines that combine high-voltage power, CNC automation, hydraulics, and servo motors — and then teaching customer teams how to use them.
No boring routine. No getting stuck behind a desk. This is hands-on, high-impact work with a ton of variety, technical challenge, and room to grow.
💡 No prior experience with metal fabrication machines? No problem.
We provide full training — if you’ve got a solid base in mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic systems, we’ll show you the rest.

-
$70K–$85K starting salary, plus quarterly performance bonuses

-
Generous paid time off
-
All travel paid, with per diem

We’re looking for candidates with advanced CAD/CAM software experience, including hands-on use of tools like SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Fusion 360, Inventor, or similar.
-
Familiarity with CNC-specific platforms such as Lantek, Trumpf TruTops, or SigmaNEST is a strong plus.
