This role bridges engineering design and hands-on implementation, helping translate concepts into functional prototypes, production-ready solutions, and field-ready product improvements. The Engineering Technician also serves as a technical resource for manufacturing, engineering, field service, and customer support teams by providing troubleshooting, testing, documentation, training, and implementation support. The ideal candidate is highly detail-oriented, technically skilled, and comfortable working in both CAD systems and hands-on lab, production, and field-support environments.\nEssential Functions: \nPrototyping and Product Development\nBuild, assemble, modify, and test prototypes to support new product development, proof-of-concept work, and engineering validation. \nSupport rapid design iteration by refining prototypes based on test results, engineering feedback, and product performance observations. \nCollaborate with engineering and product teams to improve manufacturability, reliability, performance, and serviceability of new and existing products. \nDocument prototype builds, testing outcomes, and recommended design improvements. \nAssist with new product introductions by modifying existing inventory, tooling, fixtures, and production processes as needed. \nEngineering Design Support\nCreate and update 2D/3D CAD models, engineering drawings, and technical documentation. \nDevelop and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs), product specifications, work instructions, and other supporting documentation for new and existing products. \nReview engineering drawings, schematics, and technical documentation for accuracy, completeness, and manufacturability. \nAssist engineers with design validation, tolerance analysis, and continuous improvement of product designs. \nMaintain revision control of drawings and technical documentation. \nTesting, Validation, and Technical Analysis\nDevelop and execute test procedures for prototypes, components, assemblies, and production equipment. \nConduct product testing and validation activities to support engineering development projects and product changes. \nCollect, analyze, and document test data to support engineering decision-making and continuous improvement efforts. \nGenerate reports and recommendations related to product performance, process capability, and design improvements. \nOperate specialized lab or test equipment, as required, to support engineering evaluation and product performance analysis. \nCustom Equipment, Tooling, and Fixture Support\nDesign, build, maintain, and troubleshoot custom fixtures, test equipment, tooling, and related support equipment for manufacturing and R&D. \nWork cross-functionally with manufacturing and engineering teams to ensure equipment meets safety, quality, and efficiency requirements. \nTroubleshoot and improve existing equipment to enhance reliability, usability, and performance. \nSupport implementation of custom solutions from concept through deployment. \nProduction, Field, and Technical Support\nProvide advanced technical support for complex production, customer, and field-service issues. \nSupport field upgrades by installing upgrades, preparing upgrade kits, or assisting with implementation planning. \nPartner with production and field teams to diagnose equipment or product performance issues and recommend corrective actions. \nTrain production personnel on new products, manufacturing processes, assembly procedures, and product changes. \nServe as a technical resource to production, engineering, and support teams during product launches, design changes, and issue resolution. \nDocumentation and Continuous Improvement\nDevelop and publish technical bulletins, work instructions, assembly procedures, and other product/process documentation. \nIdentify opportunities for product, process, equipment, quality, and cost improvements. \nSupport continuous improvement initiatives focused on efficiency, quality, safety, and manufacturability. \nAssist in transitioning designs from prototype to production. \nMaintain laboratory, testing, and prototype equipment in safe working condition and keep workspaces organized.\nGeneral Responsibilities\nSupport engineering and manufacturing teams with technical problem-solving\nEnsure all work is completed in accordance with safety and quality standards\nMaintain organized workspace, tools, and lab equipment\nOther job duties as assigned.\nSkills/Characteristics Needed for Success:\nAssociate’s Degree or Technical Certification in Engineering Technology, Mechanical Design, or related field preferred\n2-3 years of experience in prototyping, mechanical design support, or engineering technician role\nExperience working in a manufacturing, product development, or R&D environment preferred\nStrong mechanical aptitude and hands-on technical skills\nProficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks or similar 3D modeling tools)\nExperience with prototyping tools, fabrication methods, and basic machining or assembly processes\nAbility to read and interpret engineering drawings and specifications\nStrong troubleshooting and problem-solving capabilities\nDetail-oriented with strong organizational and documentation skills\nAbility to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment\nCollaborative mindset with strong communication skills\nPhysical Requirements:\nMay be required to move up 40 lbs.
