About the role

  • Union Technologies is reindustrializing America's defense manufacturing base with a first-of-its-kind Factories-as-a-Stockpile™ model, integrating advanced robotics, manufacturing, and software into sovereign factory systems at scale.
  • Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, UNION is dedicated to restoring America's industrial strength and guaranteeing deterrence for the century ahead.

Responsibilities

  • Run and support Kaizen events that improve Availability, First-Pass Yield, and Throughput.
  • Work with engineers to identify and remove bottlenecks on the line and document durable countermeasures.
  • Design, build, and fit simple fixtures and production aids
  • Use internal tools to diagnose product and equipment issues, perform root cause analysis, and communicate corrective actions.
  • Support FAT/SAT mechanically: instrument stations, run acceptance tests, log results in MES, and help release equipment to production.
  • Perform precision metrology and basic preventive maintenance to protect rate and quality.
  • Design, build, and fit simple fixtures and production aids; use shop tools and basic fabrication as needed.
  • Ability to travel, including internationally during early equipment builds and SAT, as needed.

Requirements

  • Tech I: 1-2+ years mechanical assembly/maintenance/prototyping.
  • Tech II: 3-5+ years owning setups, alignments, PMs, and quality checks.
  • ability to interpret 3D models.
  • able to qualify for U.S. export-control programs if required by contract.

Nice to have

  • Hands-on experience with hand and power tools and mechanical assembly, including fasteners, fits, torque methods, and alignment.
  • Working knowledge of pneumatics and hydraulics
  • basic electro-mechanical skills are a plus (low-voltage sensors, harness repair, DMM use).
  • Ability to read prints, GD&T, and schematics
  • comfortable interpreting 3D CAD.
  • Experience with SolidWorks or similar is preferred.
  • Exposure to fabrication or prototyping is helpful (machining basics, 3D printing, laser cutting).
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and comfort using data tools to support decisions.

Skills

  • Tempo: Demonstrated ability to meet rate and quality targets under time pressure while following SWIs and safety rules.
  • CAD literacy for simple fixture edits (SolidWorks or similar); ability to interpret 3D models.
  • Experience with heat treat/thermal processes, hardness checks, and distortion control (nice to have for our parts).
  • CMMS/MES and basic SPC; root-cause tools (5-Why, Ishikawa).
  • Certifications: Forklift, overhead crane/rigging, OSHA-10; able to qualify for U.S. export-control programs if required by contract.
