Maintenance Technician - CNC Machine shop

Maintenance Technician Job Overview:

Momentous Mold & Machine Additive Engineering Solutions (AES) – sister companies with shared ownership – are seeking a Maintenance Technician to support both sites located ~10-mins. away from each other in the Akron Ohio area. This is a hands-on role requiring direct involvement in CNC machine & facility needs (with support from both organizations.) This role also creates an opportunity for a leader to partner with tech-forward owner-operators as we grow precision machining shops to support the aerospace & defense industry.

AES Momentous both provide high-precision tooling and assemblies for mission-critical aerospace & defense programs. We support eVTOL programs, space-launch booster systems, composite rotor blade molds and other high-consequence applications.

• AES is the world leader in Large Format Polymer Additive Manufacturing with deep expertise in additive-based aerospace & defense tooling. The company was founded ~10-yrs. ago, with ~30 employees in Akron, Ohio and has ~10 major assets.
• Momentous has a 75-yr.-old legacy in high-precision machining, with ~20 major machining centers & ~65 employees in a 60k sq-ft facility in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.

Responsibilities:

The Maintenance Technician is responsible for the uptime, accuracy, and reliability of ~30 CNC assets across two facilities. While 20% of the role involves general facility maintenance (including monitoring environmental controls), 80% is dedicated to the mechanical and electrical health of CNC machining centers.

Asset Maintenance (~80% focus) - Diagnose and repair electrical and mechanical issues on CNC mills and lathes

• Troubleshoot and maintain spindles, ball screws, way-covers, hydraulics, and pneumatic systems.
• Define solutions & coordinate repairs; assign tasks to outside services or co-workers as needed.
• Develop and coordinate schedules for routine PM

Facility Maintenance (~20% focus) - Troubleshoot building-related issues, ensuring the facility supports a high-consequence production environment. Act as the primary point of contact for facility-related outside services.

The role is split between 2 sites located ~10 mins away (~80% Momentous; ~20% AES).

Minimum Qualifications:

• Technical skill mix: Blend of industrial electrical & mechanical aptitude.
• Industry Experience: 3-5 years in a CNC-heavy environment. High-precision or aerospace manufacturing experience is a major plus.
• Problem Solving: Ability to interpret complex electrical schematics & mechanical drawings.
• Digital Tools: Working knowledge of Microsoft 365.
• ITAR Compliance: Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. Citizen, Green Card Holder, etc.).

Skills:

Mechanical & CNC Specialized Skills

• CNC Asset Repair: Proficiency in repairing and maintaining CNC spindles, ball screws, way-covers, and tool-change carousels.
• Precision Alignment: Ability to perform machine leveling and geometric alignment checks; training available as needed.
• Fluid Power: Strong understanding of hydraulic and pneumatic systems, including pumps, valves, and actuators.
• Blueprints & Schematics: Expert ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and assembly blueprints.

Electrical & Electronic Skills

• Industrial Electric: Experience with 3-phase power, motor controls & industrial wiring.
• Control Systems: Troubleshooting experience with CNC control logic; specific familiarity with Fanuc, Haas, Heidenhain or Mazak control boards is highly valued.
• Diagnostics: Skill in using multi-meters and diagnostic tools to isolate failures in electrical cabinets or feedback loops.

Facilities & Environmental Controls

• Vendor Coordination: Ability to manage third-party contractors for specialized facility repairs (roofing, plumbing, large-scale electrical).
• General Maintenance: Basic proficiency in industrial plumbing & HVAC systems

Digital & Administrative Skills: Proficiency in Microsoft Office 365 (Outlook, Teams, Excel)

Soft Skills & Leadership

• Troubleshooting Logic: A systematic approach to problem-solving—identifying the "why" before the "how."
• Communication: Ability to explain technical machine issues to non-technical operators and provide clear status updates to leadership.
• Training: A willingness to mentor machine operators on basic daily maintenance and preventative care.
