Industrial Automation Machine Builder

Build the Machines That Power Modern Industry

We're a fast-scaling manufacturer of high‑precision automated equipment, accelerating production to meet surging demand from major data center initiatives with world-renowned tech partners. As an Industrial Automation Machine Builder, you’ll turn sophisticated drawings into production-ready machinery used across multiple sectors.

A Day in This Role

You start by reviewing detailed mechanical drawings and shop orders. With precision instruments in hand, you assemble frames and subassemblies, install drive systems with motors and shafts, fit drums, rolls, and bearings, and integrate pneumatics, hydraulics, sensors, brackets, and guarding. You run operational tests, make mechanical adjustments, and verify tolerances. Throughout the day, you move parts and completed equipment safely using forklifts and overhead cranes, keep documentation accurate, support shipping and receiving, and help maintain a clean, efficient floor. You end your shift spotting opportunities for process improvements and planning preventative maintenance tasks.
