Machine Build & Integration Lead – Advanced Machine Tools

at Fairmount Technologies in Derby, Kansas, United States

Job Description

What You’ll Be Working On

You’ll be deeply involved in the physical build and validation of our machines, including:

• Integrating mechanical, electrical, and control components into CNC systems

• Performing hands-on assembly, fabrication, cutting, and machining

• Wiring line-level and low-voltage electrical systems, sensors, and control components

• Reading and interpreting mechanical drawings, schematics, and wiring diagrams

• Collaborating closely with engineers to refine designs and improve functionality

• Conducting functional testing and quality checks on completed machines

• Troubleshooting mechanical, electrical, and integration issues during assembly

• Supporting prototype builds and production system improvements

• Maintaining tools, equipment, and workspaces in an organized, safe manner

• Following OSHA safety standards and company policies

This role is highly hands-on and focused on machine integration, build quality, and readiness for deployment.

Why This Role Is Different

• Small company → high ownership and visibility

• Work directly on complete CNC machines from build to deployment

• Close collaboration with engineering and leadership

• Mix of fabrication, integration, testing, and problem-solving

• Opportunity to help define build processes and quality standards as production scales

You won’t just build machines — you’ll help shape how they’re built.
