Job Description:

Why Join Us?

At MTS, we design and build precision test and measurement equipment that helps engineers around the world push the limits of innovation — from aerospace to biomedical research. As a Transducer Technician, you’ll play a hands-on role in building the sensors at the heart of these technologies. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys detailed work, problem-solving, and seeing their craftsmanship contribute to products used worldwide.

What You'll Do

You’ll be part of a collaborative manufacturing team that:

• Builds & Tests Products – Assemble and functionally test custom and standard strain-gage-based transducers using engineering prints and work instructions. Includes soldering, wiring, and small-to-medium component assembly.

• Troubleshoots Issues – Use your problem-solving skills to identify and resolve issues with design, documentation, materials, or processes.

• Supports Engineering – Partner with engineers on prototypes, special calibration projects, and process improvements.

• Optimizes Processes – Suggest and implement improvements for efficiency, accuracy, and quality.

• Documents Work – Maintain accurate records, follow instructions, and update documentation when changes are needed.

• Cross-Trains & Collaborates – Learn multiple areas of the operation, support different teams, and share ideas openly.

• Maintains Standards – Keep work areas clean and safe using 5S principles, meet delivery and quality goals, and contribute to a respectful, team-oriented culture.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, mechanically inclined, and motivated to learn. You don’t need to know everything on day one — we’ll train you — but success in this role looks like:

• Experience or coursework in electronics, manufacturing, assembly, or related technical field.

• Comfortable with small component assembly (soldering, wiring, mechanical build).

• Ability to read and follow technical drawings or work instructions.

• Problem-solving mindset with willingness to ask questions and suggest improvements.

• Strong communication and teamwork skills.

• Organized and able to manage multiple tasks while meeting deadlines.

Why You'll Love Working Here
