What if your next fix kept thousands of packages moving today?
Do you thrive on tracking down the root cause—whether it’s a misaligned sensor, a slipping belt, or a sticky solenoid? Can you read a schematic, swap a servo, and still make a 15‑minute changeover window? If yes, this role is built for you.
