CTC Engineering and Manufacturing: Where Cutting-Edge Innovation Meets Mission-Critical Solutions

The CTC Engineering Division specializes in transforming cutting-edge technologies into real-world solutions. We harness the power of 3D printing, advanced joining techniques like friction stir welding, and cutting-edge design tools to tackle complex challenges for a diverse set of clients.

This position description in no way states or implies that these are the only duties to be performed by the employee occupying this position. Employees may be required to follow other job-related instructions and to perform other job-related duties as requested, subject to all applicable state and federal laws. Certain job functions described herein may be subject to possible modification in accordance with applicable Federal, state and/or local laws and regulations.

The Technician and Skilled Trades II role is a mid-level position that performs technical and skilled trades tasks to support the design, fabrication, maintenance, and improvement of systems, equipment, and facilities. This position requires a solid foundation of technical knowledge and skills, with the ability to work independently on routine assignments and contribute to more complex projects under general supervision. The role emphasizes quality, safety, and collaboration to ensure operational readiness and reliability.

Key Responsibilities:

Technical Operations

• Perform technical tasks such as welding (including aluminum welding), machining, fabrication, and assembly with minimal supervision.
• Operate and maintain specialized tools, equipment, and machinery, including CNC machines and advanced welding systems.
• Analyze technical drawings, blueprints, and specifications to produce high-quality components and assemblies.

Fabrication and Prototyping

• Execute precision machining and welding tasks, including gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) on aluminum alloys, joints, and thicknesses.
• Fabricate and assemble components for prototypes and production systems, ensuring compliance with quality standards.
• Assist in the design and development of components and manufacturing processes to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

Maintenance and Repairs

• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on mechanical, electrical, and structural systems.
• Conduct inspections, testing, and diagnostics to ensure systems and equipment meet operational standards.
• Document maintenance activities and provide recommendations for improvements.

Safety and Compliance

• Adhere to safety protocols and procedures to minimize risks and ensure a safe working environment.
• Ensure compliance with company policies, quality standards, and regulatory requirements.
• Participate in safety training and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

Collaboration and Leadership

• Provide guidance and mentorship to junior technicians, supporting their skill development and ensuring quality standards are met.
• Collaborate with engineers, supervisors, and team members to complete projects and resolve technical challenges.
• Communicate effectively to report progress, issues, and recommendations to leadership and stakeholders.

Manager Defined Field:

Machine Setup & Operation

• Review and prepare AM based CAD build files (slicing), configure print parameters, and manage machine startup for production runs.

Powder Handling & Lifecycle

• Safely handle, sieve, load, and recover fine metal powders from the additive manufacturing printers while strictly adhering to hazardous material and inert atmosphere safety protocols.

Build Monitoring & Troubleshooting

• Observe active additive builds and respond to process anomalies, machine alarms, or errors to ensure part quality.

Post-Processing

• De-powder finished parts, detach them from the build plate, and conduct post-processing operations like stress-relief, heat treatment, support removal, and surface finishing.

Equipment Maintenance

• Perform routine and preventive maintenance on LPBF systems (e.g., recoater calibration, filter changes, and laser optics cleaning) to maximize system uptime.

Documentation & Traceability

• Maintain strict production logs, powder traceability records, build traveler paperwork, and quality compliance documentation for every manufacturing run.

Required Qualifications:

• High school diploma or equivalent, with additional technical coursework or certifications required.
• 2+ years of experience in a manufacturing, machining, or welding environment, with demonstrated expertise in aluminum welding and machining processes.
• Proficiency in gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) on aluminum alloys, including AC and DC electrode negative techniques, and the ability to weld complex joints and thicknesses.
• Advanced knowledge of CNC machining, including setup, operation, and troubleshooting for both simple and complex parts.
• Ability to interpret and analyze technical drawings, blueprints, and specifications to ensure compliance with quality and DoD standards.
• Strong understanding of safety protocols, quality standards, and industry regulations, including DoD contractor requirements.
• Intermediate to advanced math skills, including algebra, geometry, and shop math.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Certification in welding (e.g., AWS D1.1, D1.2, or D17.3) and machining (e.g., NIMS or equivalent).
• Experience with computer-aided design (CAD) software or technical drawings, with the ability to make minor modifications to designs.
• Familiarity with automated systems, robotics, or advanced manufacturing technologies.
• Proven ability to lead or mentor junior technicians and contribute to team development.

Work Environment/Conditions:

• Work is performed in industrial, manufacturing, or climate-controlled environments.
• Requires standing, sitting, bending, lifting (up to 50 pounds), and performing repetitive hand and wrist movements.
• Exposure to noise, heat, and other environmental factors typical of technical trades work.
• Use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is required and provided.
