  • Experience with conventional manual support equipment such as saws, presses, and surface grinders.
  • High school diploma or equivalent.
  • Strong aptitude in mathematics.
  • Skill using indicators, gauges, and plate inspection methods for fixture pickup, first-article inspection, and in-process inspection of precision-machined parts.
  • Ability to maintain close tolerances within .0005 inches for inside and outside diameters, roundness, concentricity, and squareness.
  • Understanding of machine-tool accuracies, fixture offsets, and tool offsets.
  • Knowledge of cutting-tool feeds, speeds, and tool life for aerospace hard turning or milling.
  • Ability to follow verbal instructions and interpret blueprints and quality requirements.
  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds; assistance is required for loads over 25 pounds.

Responsibilities

About the Company

Regal Rexnord

Automatic transfer switches for backup power

Regal Rexnord’s Thomson Power Systems designs and manufactures critical electrical gear that sits between a building’s main power and its backup source. Its core products are automatic transfer switches (ATS) and switchgear, which monitor for power interruptions and seamlessly switch to a backup generator to keep important facilities—like hospitals and data centers—online. The system works with microprocessor-based controls to monitor power conditions and execute transfers quickly and safely, ensuring minimal downtime during outages. The company differentiates itself through a long, focused history in power-control engineering, a niche specialization in backup power for critical infrastructure, and its integration into the Regal Rexnord portfolio, which provides broader industrial component resources and support. The goal is to give reliable, automatic backup power so essential operations stay powered when the main grid falters.
