Integration Technician

Title: Technician - Integration Engineering III - A

Duration: 4/20/26 - 10/16/26 (Contract to Hire)

Pay: $47/hr. on W2

Location: Kent, WA (onsite)

Shift A: Monday - Friday, 8 hrs starting at 7AM PST

Pre-Screen Questions:

1. Walk me through how you would approach integrating a new subsystem into an existing machine tool when the documentation is incomplete or unclear. Specifically, describe your process for identifying potential integration points, validating connections, and troubleshooting when something doesn't work as expected. Give me a real example if you have one
2. You're assembling a critical, expensive component under tight schedule pressure, and you notice something that might be a tolerance issue but isn't clearly called out in the work instruction. The component is worth $50K+ and any rework would impact the schedule. How do you handle this situation?
3. This role involves working on custom machine tools that are first-of-their-kind. Tell me about a time you had to quickly learn a new piece of equipment or process, then train others or document what you learned. How did you approach getting up to speed when there wasn't an expert to learn from?
