- Prior industrial or manufacturing field service experience.
- Trade school certification or military technical background.
Compensation & Benefits - $50 to $55/hour based on experience. Placement reflects PLC and robotics depth, autonomy in the field, and how quickly you ramp up on our systems.

- Home every weekend. Company-paid travel and lodging, per diem.
