Engineering Technician

Position: Engineering Technician  

Position Type: Direct Hire

Location: Comer, GA

Industry: Automotive/Aerospace  

Pay: $25 hr

Position Summary: Spark Talent Acquisition is seeking an Engineering Technician to support development, optimization, and continuous improvement of our composite manufacturing processes, tooling, and production systems with hands-on involvement.

The ideal candidate combines strong mechanical engineering fundamentals with some practical experience or internship. This person will work closely with engineering, technicians, production, quality, and suppliers to translate engineering designs and changes into robust, repeatable, and efficient manufacturing processes.

This is a hands-on engineering position. The engineer should expect to spend meaningful time on the manufacturing floor, working with technicians, troubleshooting processes, evaluating prototypes, and implementing improvements—not exclusively working at a desk.

Position Responsibilities:

·Build, assemble, modify, and test mechanical components, assemblies, prototypes, production equipment, tooling, fixtures, jigs, and test setups.

·Read and interpret engineering drawings, work with CAD models, specifications, tolerances, and GD&T.

·Troubleshoot mechanical and manufacturing problems, investigate failures, and identify potential root causes.

·Document measurements, test results, build issues, defects, engineering observations, samples, prototypes, tooling, and equipment.

·Lead process development, validation testing, and improvements to internal processes, fabrication, tooling, quality, safety, and efficiency.

·Operate or assist with 3D printers, prototype equipment, sensors, instrumentation, wiring, data collection, and test equipment when required.

·Train production personnel on new processes, tooling, work instructions, and engineering changes.

Position Requirements:

·Technical degree, associate degree, or equivalent hands-on experience in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field.

·Strong mechanical aptitude and hands-on problem-solving ability.

·Basic understanding of lean manufacturing or continuous improvement.

·Strong understanding of engineering drawings, GD&T, dimensional tolerances, and engineering specifications.

·Demonstrates a strong commitment to continuous learning and development in engineering skills and problem-solving techniques.

·Ability to use common mechanical measurement tools.

·Experience with mechanical assembly, fabrication, machining, prototyping, or manufacturing.

·Experience with CAD software; AutoCAD, Siemens NX and/or SolidWorks strongly preferred.
