Job Description

Salary: Depends on Experience

At LSINC, you wont be one of hundreds of technicians on a production floor. Youll be a core member of a high-skill team building custom, one-of-a-kind direct-to-object UV printing systems shipped to customers around the world. Your work is visible, your contributions matter, and no two days look exactly the same. If youre the kind of person who wants to understand how a system works from end to end not just the section in front of you this is the role for you.

Position Summary

LSINC is a Huntsville-based engineering and manufacturing company specializing in custom direct-to-object UV inkjet printing systems, training simulators, and specialty electro-mechanical products for commercial and government clients worldwide. Our PeriOne and PeriQ printers are sophisticated, fully integrated systems combining multi-axis servo motion control, UV print head electronics, pneumatic and vacuum systems, fluid handling, and PC-based control software into machines that ship to customers globally.

The Electrical Manufacturing Technician plays a critical role in bringing these systems to life. This position goes well beyond standard electrical assembly it includes active participation in the full machine commissioning process and Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), working alongside engineers and the Director of Manufacturing to verify, tune, and validate a fully integrated machine before it ships. You will work from detailed electrical schematics, terminal block tables, and work instructions to wire, inspect, troubleshoot, and commission complex electro-mechanical systems, and you will grow into one of the most technically skilled roles in our manufacturing operation.

  • Sensor alignment, linear actuator setup, and mechanical-electrical integration checks
  • Pressure calibration using manometers and test equipment
  • Print head installation, ink system plumbing verification, and leak checks
  • HMI configuration and PC-based control software setup
  • Full system functional testing and pre-FAT verification
• Support and participate in Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) with customers, serving as a technical resource for system demonstration and verification
• Document commissioning results, anomalies, deviations, and corrective actions in accordance with LSINC quality procedures
• Support machine preparation for shipping and installation, including decommissioning and crating procedures

Troubleshooting & Quality

• Diagnose and resolve electrical and electronic faults using schematics, wiring diagrams, multimeters, oscilloscopes, and other test equipment
• Identify root causes of system anomalies and work with Engineering to document and resolve build and design issues
• Ensure compliance with quality standards, safety requirements, and documented manufacturing processes
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives related to commissioning efficiency, quality, and documentation
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area in accordance with LSINC 5S standards

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED required; technical certificate or associate degree in electronics, electrical technology, or a related field preferred
• 3+ years of experience in electrical or electronic assembly in a manufacturing or engineering environment
• Demonstrated ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation at a system level
• Hands-on experience with electrical panel wiring, cable harnessing, and connector termination
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot electrical systems methodically trace signals, read schematics, use test equipment, and isolate faults
• Experience using digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, and other standard electrical test equipment
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship in a documentation-controlled environment
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, low-volume/high-mix environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with machine commissioning, system startup, or factory acceptance testing in a manufacturing environment
• Familiarity with servo drive systems, motion controllers, or PC-based industrial control platforms
• Experience with pneumatic systems, vacuum systems, or electro-mechanical fluid handling
• Familiarity with IPC standards (IPC-A-610, IPC/WHMA-A-620)
• Experience in regulated or government-contract manufacturing environments
• Experience working directly with customers during machine acceptance, demonstration, or installation
• Background in inkjet printing systems, specialty manufacturing equipment, or other complex integrated machinery
• Soldering experience (hand soldering of through-hole and SMT components)

Physical & Work Requirements

• Ability to stand, sit, kneel, and move around a production floor for extended periods
• Ability to lift up to 40 lbs unassisted
• Manual dexterity for precision wiring, connector termination, and assembly work
• Ability to work in a manufacturing environment with exposure to UV light, inks, and cleaning chemicals (PPE provided)
• Occasional travel may be required to support machine installation or customer acceptance at client sites
