We are seeking a Mechanical Technician / Machine Builder to support the assembly and build of custom automation equipment in a hands-on engineering environment. This role focuses on building complex machinery from detailed engineering drawings and BOMs, supporting prototype development, and working closely with mechanical and controls engineers during equipment bring-up and iteration.
This is a highly hands-on role requiring strong mechanical aptitude, blueprint reading, and experience assembling industrial equipment or machinery. The position also includes supporting in-house machining operations and assisting with basic controls integration.
Key Responsibilities:Assemble custom automation equipment from engineering drawings, CAD models, and BOMsRead and interpret detailed mechanical assembly drawings and schematicsFit, align, and adjust mechanical components to required tolerancesModify and fabricate components using manual mills, lathes, and shop equipmentSupport prototype builds, rework, and iterative equipment developmentFloat to in-house machine shop to support CNC machining operations when neededLoad PLC programs and assist with basic controls troubleshooting and connectivityWork closely with engineering teams to identify assembly issues and suggest improvementsSupport equipment setup, testing, and initial bring-upRequired Qualifications:Experience assembling industrial equipment, custom machinery, or automation systemsStrong ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and blueprintsHands-on mechanical aptitude with tools, alignment, and system assemblyExperience with machining (manual mills, lathes, or CNC environments)Ability to work in a prototype or engineering build environmentPreferred Qualifications:Millwright or industrial machinery installation backgroundExperience working with automation equipment or production machineryBasic PLC interaction (loading programs, connecting, troubleshooting)Fabrication skills (welding, machining, component modification)Experience supporting machine builds, debug, or commissioningKey Skills:Mechanical TechnicianMachine BuilderMillwrightAutomation Equipment AssemblyIndustrial MachineryBlueprint ReadingCNC MachiningManual MachiningPLC BasicsEquipment Build & Integration

The software/controls engineers are responsible for bringing the custom automation equipment to life. The mechanical team designs and builds the physical machines; these engineers wire them up, program the PLCs, configure the vision systems, program the robots, design the HMI screens, and debug everything until the equipment runs production-ready. This is completely greenfield work. There is currently little to no PLC code on the machines, no safety guarding, and minimal controls. These engineers will write everything from scratch.
A key deliverable for this group is developing vision-based in-process quality inspection setups to replace microscopes currently used on each production line. This requires strong machine vision experience.
Key ResponsibilitiesWrite PLC code from scratch for custom semi-automated manufacturing equipment (Allen-Bradley primary platform)Develop HMI programs and operator interfaces (ProFace HMIs)Program and integrate robotic systems (Epson robots)Configure and program machine vision systems for in-process quality inspection (Keyence systems)Develop vision setups to replace microscope-based inspection, performing automated quality checks during productionDesign electrical schematics and panel layouts for automation equipmentSet up and configure all sensors, I/O, and field devicesDebug and commission equipment end-to-end: wiring, code, motion, vision, roboticsCollaborate with mechanical engineers on equipment integration and with process engineers on process validationSupport equipment deployment to production lines in Shakopee and eventually Mexico
Required Skills & Experience3+ years of experience in PLC programming, controls engineering, or automation software developmentAllen-Bradley PLC programming experience (RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000, structured text, ladder logic)Experience programming HMIs (ProFace preferred, or similar platforms such as Rockwell PanelView, Siemens)Machine vision system experience (Keyence preferred, or Cognex, or similar)Electrical schematic design and panel layout experienceHands-on equipment debug and commissioning experienceAbility to write code from a blank slate for greenfield automation equipment
Preferred ExperienceEpson robot programming experience (or similar SCARA/6-axis robot platforms)Python programming in an automation/controls contextExperience with servo motion control and multi-axis coordinationBackground in benchtop or semi-automated equipment (not large-scale material handling or conveyance)Experience in precision assembly, fiber optics, medical device, or electronics manufacturing
