Turn-Key Solutions is a growing automation company that designs and builds custom robotic systems, machine tending cells, assembly stations, welding systems, material-handling equipment, CNC fixturing, and production workholding solutions.
We are looking for a dependable, hands-on Assembly Technician to join our team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building equipment, solving problems, working with tools, and seeing a project come together from loose components into a fully functioning machine.
Our Assembly Technicians work closely with mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, controls engineers, welders, machinists, and project managers to build custom automation equipment for customers across a wide range of industries. No two projects are exactly alike, which keeps the work interesting and provides plenty of opportunities to learn.
- Assemble custom automation equipment, robotic cells, fixtures, conveyors, welding systems, and material-handling systems from mechanical drawings, assembly drawings, and bills of materials.
- Install structural components, guarding, machine frames, pneumatics, actuators, sensors, tooling, conveyors, and customer-specific equipment.
- Fit, align, adjust, and modify components as needed to ensure proper operation and quality.
- Work with hand tools, power tools, measuring devices, lifts, forklifts, and shop equipment safely and effectively.
- Assist with machine debug, testing, runoff, Factory Acceptance Testing, and customer installations.
- Troubleshoot mechanical, pneumatic, and basic electrical issues during assembly and machine startup.
- Work closely with engineering to identify drawing discrepancies, improve assembly methods, and provide practical feedback on equipment design.
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area.
- Support occasional field installation, service, and startup work at customer locations.
- Maintain high standards for workmanship, safety, quality, and attention to detail.
- 2–5 years of experience assembling industrial equipment, custom machinery, automation systems, fixtures, conveyors, or similar products.
- Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, assembly drawings, pneumatic schematics, and bills of materials.
- Experience using common hand tools, power tools, measuring equipment, and shop equipment.
- Mechanical aptitude with the ability to troubleshoot fit-up, alignment, and functionality issues.
- Ability to work independently while also being a strong team player.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, project-based manufacturing environment.
- Ability to safely lift, position, and assemble components using appropriate material-handling equipment.
- Willingness to occasionally travel for installations, service, and customer support.
Preferred Skills
- Experience assembling robotic automation cells, machine tending systems, welding equipment, or custom OEM machinery.
- Familiarity with pneumatic systems, linear slides, servo actuators, conveyors, sensors, and machine guarding.
- Experience with welding fixtures, precision assembly, machine alignment, or customer-specific tooling.
- Forklift, crane, scissor-lift, or aerial-lift experience.
- Basic electrical troubleshooting experience.
- Experience working from SolidWorks drawings or 3D assembly models.
- Competitive hourly pay based on experience.
- Opportunities for overtime, travel compensation, and field per diem.
- Health insurance, dental, vision, 401(k) match, paid vacation, and paid holidays.
- A clean, team-focused environment where your work directly contributes to completed customer systems.
- Opportunities to learn advanced automation, robotics, assembly, welding, and material-handling technologies.
- Career growth opportunities within a growing company that builds equipment people are proud to put their name on.
