Fractional (Part-Time) Maintenance Technician

About Voxel
Voxel Innovations unlocks next-generation performance through Electrochemical Machining (ECM)—including pulsed and hybrid variants—to rapidly and precisely shape specialty metal alloys for aerospace, energy, industrial, AI, and medical customers. Our ~25–30 person team owns every step of the technology life-cycle, translating R&D into production under one roof.

The Role

Voxel Innovations is seeking a Fractional (Part-Time) Maintenance Technician to own and execute preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, repair, and installation of critical facility, CNC, and electrochemical machining infrastructure. This is a hands-on role focused on uptime, reliability, and safe operation of essential equipment in a precision manufacturing environment.

You will be responsible for maintaining and improving the reliability of our critical systems—including air compressors, chillers, RO water systems, electrical panels, scrubbers, ventilation, CNC machinery, electrochemical machining (ECM) equipment, and their ancillary process systems. You will also support installation of new equipment, facility upgrades, refurbishment projects, and production infrastructure expansion as Voxel continues to grow.

This role is part-time / fractional (hours structured based on workload and preventative maintenance schedule) and is based in Knightdale, NC.

About You

You are mechanically and electrically strong, practical, and resourceful. You take pride in keeping complex systems running reliably and safely. You think in terms of root causes—not just quick fixes—and you prefer preventative maintenance over reactive firefighting.

You are comfortable working independently, organizing your own workload, and partnering with engineers and production team members in a highly technical environment. You know when something can be handled internally and when to escalate to certified specialists. You align with Voxel’s Core Values: Expect Excellence, Do Right By Others, Always Getting Better, What Would Happen If…

  Support installation, commissioning, and continuous improvement of equipment, utilities, and facility systems as the company grows.
• Drive Safe, High-Standard Maintenance Operations
  Maintain strong safety practices (LOTO, chemical handling), coordinate with vendors when needed, manage critical spares, and partner with engineering/production to maximize reliability.

• 5+ years of hands-on maintenance experience in a manufacturing or technical production environment.
• Direct experience maintaining CNC machinery required.
• Experience maintaining advanced manufacturing systems strongly preferred.
• Strong mechanical troubleshooting skills (rotating equipment, pumps, bearings, seals, alignment).
• Working knowledge of industrial electrical systems and ability to safely inspect and diagnose equipment issues.
• Familiarity with industrial fluid systems (coolant, water treatment, electrolyte systems).
• Ability to read mechanical drawings, P&IDs, and electrical schematics.
• Experience with preventative maintenance programs and CMMS systems preferred.
• Strong judgment on when to escalate to OEMs or licensed/certified professionals.
• OSHA/safety training preferred.
