Requirements

~1 min read

Associate degree, technical degree, military technical training, or equivalent industry experience preferred.
Extensive relevant inkjet experience may substitute for formal education.
Comfortable using hand tools, measurement equipment, and diagnostic tools.
Able to troubleshoot complex equipment systematically and independently.
Strong attention to detail and ability to work in a quality-controlled manufacturing environment.
Ability to document technical work clearly and collaborate effectively with Production and Engineering teams.
Willingness to learn new printing technologies, processes, and equipment.

The strongest candidates are technically curious and want to understand why a printer is behaving the way it is, rather than simply following operating instructions.

You may be a particularly good fit if you have spent several years servicing industrial printers in the field and are interested in applying that experience in a manufacturing environment with deeper ownership of the equipment and process.

The goal of this role is to build a production technical team capable of diagnosing problems, identifying root causes, and returning printers to production with minimal dependence on Engineering.
