About the Role
Lunar Resources is looking for a hands-on General Mechanical Technician to join our Houston production team. In this role you'll keep our lab and production equipment running — assembling, maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing the mechanical systems that support our manufacturing operations. You'll work closely with engineers, operators, and fellow technicians in a fast-moving hardware environment where no two days look the same.
What You'll Do
Assemble, install, align, and fit mechanical components, fixtures, and subassemblies from drawings, sketches, and verbal instruction
Perform preventive maintenance, inspection, and repair on production and facility equipment (pumps, motors, compressors, vacuum systems, furnaces, and related hardware)
Troubleshoot mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic issues and drive them to root cause
Fabricate and modify parts and fixtures using hand tools, power tools, and basic shop equipment
Read and interpret mechanical drawings, schematics, and equipment manuals
Support engineering with equipment builds, test setups, and process improvements
Maintain accurate maintenance logs and follow all safety procedures (LOTO, PPE, hazard communication)
Keep work areas, tools, and equipment clean, organized, and audit-ready
What We're Looking For
3+ years of hands-on experience as a mechanical technician, maintenance technician, millwright, or similar role
Strong mechanical aptitude: comfortable with hand/power tools, precision measurement (calipers, micrometers), and rigging/lifting basics
Ability to read mechanical drawings and P&IDs
Working knowledge of pneumatics, hydraulics, and rotating equipment
Comfortable working in a lab/production environment around high-temperature and vacuum equipment
Able to lift 50 lbs. and stand for extended periods, and work on ladders/lifts as needed
High school diploma or GED required; technical/trade certification a plus
Nice to Have
Experience in aerospace, semiconductor, chemical processing, or other high-spec manufacturing
Basic welding, machining, or fabrication skills (TIG a plus)
Experience with vacuum furnaces, gas delivery systems, or cleanroom protocols
Basic electrical troubleshooting knowledge (multimeter-level)
Forklift, crane, or scissor-lift certification
