Technician I — Inventory, Material Prep & Assembly Support

Turnpack builds custom robotic work cells and precision assembly machines for defense, medical device, semiconductor and electronics manufacturers. We design them, machine them, build them and ship them out of one building in Mesa. We're hiring a shop technician to keep the floor moving. What you'll actually do You'll own the work that keeps a small shop running — and you'll be trained on all of it. Material prep. Cut bar, plate and tube stock to length. Deburr, scotch-brite and bench-finish machined parts so they're ready to assemble. Stage material at the machine or the bench. CNC support. Load and unload under the machinist's direction. Run the tool crib — issue, return, organize. Chip and coolant management, machine housekeeping. Receiving and the stockroom. Take in shipments, check them against the packing slip, log them, and put them away where they belong. Watch consumables and flag a reorder before we run out. Cycle counts. Count stock on a schedule and reconcile it to the system. When a count doesn't match, find out why rather than just changing the number. Kitting. Pull complete kits of hardware, parts and tooling for the builds. Complete kit or flagged kit — telling us early is always the right answer. Light assembly. Entry-level mechanical assembly of fixtures, plates and housings with precision hand tools, working to a print. Measurement. Check your own work with calipers and micrometers before it goes to the bench. Measured, not eyeballed. You will not be doing the same thing every day. If that sounds good, keep reading. How you'll ramp Nobody learns five areas at once and we don't expect you to. You'll be judged on where you are, not on the whole job from day one. Weeks 1–4: material prep, CNC support, shop housekeeping Weeks 4–8: receiving, put-away, consumables Months 2–3: kitting against bills of material, and scheduled cycle counts Day 90: pay step to $22/hour once prep and CNC support are unsupervised, receiving is accurate and same-day, and kitting is underway Month 3 and on: light bench assembly 6–12 months: tool presetting, offsets, second-operation work — if you want it What we're looking for High school diploma or equivalent 0–2 years of experience — we will train the right person. Manufacturing, warehouse, machine shop, electronics assembly or technical inventory all count Confident with a tape, calipers and micrometers, or willing to learn fast. Measuring is a real part of this job Basic computer skills — data entry and spreadsheets. You'll learn our system properly Accuracy when you're being interrupted. Part numbers, counts and locations are the job. This seat gets pulled in a lot of directions and the records still have to be right Able to read and follow written instructions and a cut list Reliable transportation to Mesa, five days a week Nice to have, not required Any machine shop time — saw, deburring, bench finishing, tool crib ESD handling training (if you don't have it, we'll certify you in your first 30 days) Physical requirements Lift and carry up to 50 lbs; team lift above that Good hand dexterity for small, delicate parts On your feet, sitting, standing and reaching across an 8–10 hour shift Pay and benefits $20–$22/hour. Starting at $20 if you're learning the shop side, stepping to $22 at 90 days when you're running it. $22 from day one if you already have the hands Quarterly performance bonus Annual company profit share Medical, dental and vision 401(k) with Safe Harbor match up to 4% 10 days PTO, 40 hours sick time, 9 paid holidays plus 1 floating Why this job is worth your time We're a team of seven. You'll see a machine go from raw bar stock to a crate on a truck, and you'll have touched most of it. Nothing here is busywork and everyone will know whether you did it well. There's a real path if you want one. People here have moved from assembly into machining and into design. Tool setup, machining and…
