San Luis Obispo, United States Trust Automation Full time

Trust Automation has over 30 years of experience in custom motors, linear drives, digital drives, and systems which meet the unique needs of its customers. Its product line includes motors, linear drives, digital drives, custom assemblies, and products to fit unique applications and ground-up system design and manufacturing solutions. We design, build and support control and power management systems for the most demanding defense, semiconductor, industrial automation, and medical applications.
Trust Automation is an equal opportunity employer and committed to attracting, hiring, developing, and retaining a skilled, productive, and diverse workforce, personnel with competencies and experience related to the regional and State population. Every employee has an “at-will” relationship with Trust Automation. This means that employment with Trust Automation is at the mutual consent of the employer and the employee and is subject to termination by either party at will, with or without cause or advance notice.
Job Summary
The primary purpose of the MFGE Technician is to leverage technical expertise and hands-on engineering and manufacturing experience towards 1) the development of processes and improvements for new products and 2) the sustainment and improvement of existing products.
Level 2 is an intermediate level of MFGE status within Trust Automation, with increasing accountability and ability to operate independently. In comparison to Level 1, there is less direct supervision under the MFGE Manager, and more time assigned towards direct collaboration within IPTs (Integrated Product Teams) and higher level stakeholders within Operations and Engineering.
Duties and Responsibilities
To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill and/or ability required. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities, who are otherwise qualified, to perform the essential functions.
The duties listed below apply to two different functional disciplines: mechanical and electrical. For the most part, the responsibilities are the same across the two disciplines for this job description, but when the tools and skillsets are different, they will be noted.

Assist in the design of, and build, assembly/test fixtures designed by internal and external customers. Develop and sustain preventative maintenance plans and schedules for those fixtures.
Support the MFGE Manager and other MFGE personnel in devising part and product solutions by performing assembly/disassembly or testing tasks with an eye for improvements and incorporation of lean principles.

Offer initial solutions and support the development of improvement plans with MFGE and other departments like Quality and Document Control.
Apply configuration management principles (e.g. revision control rules) at Trust.
Perform tasks under ISS tool control: NCR, IRO, CI (Continuous Improvement), Deviation, DCO (Document Change Order).
