Our team includes many long-tenured, experienced professionals whose deep knowledge provides an invaluable foundation—while we actively bring in fresh perspectives and innovative approaches to modernize equipment, expand technical training, and build a best-in-class Maintenance & Engineering department.
Whether you’re just starting out, transitioning from the military, or looking to take your skills to the next level, Lightera offers a career path, not just a job.
Why You Should Join Lightera
- Be part of a new and growing global brand making long-term investments in U.S. manufacturing
- Help build the foundation of a modern, high-performing maintenance department—backed by decades of proven industry experience
- Work alongside long-tenured team members while contributing to the next generation of equipment, systems, and automation projects
- Follow a defined, skill-based career path from entry-level to advanced roles (Tech I–III & Lead), with training and mentorship at every step

- Support automation and equipment upgrade projects alongside engineering
- Learn or apply PLC and control system fundamentals
- Lead Technicians serve as subject matter experts in high-level troubleshooting, fabrication, and project support. They provide mentorship and training to team members but do not have direct supervisory responsibilities, as salaried supervisors manage people and shift operations.

- Familiarity with HVAC, compressed air, chilled water systems, and PLC basics

- Mentorship from experienced, long-tenured technicians and leaders
- Cross-training in mechanical, electrical, automation, and infrastructure systems
- Health, dental, and vision insurance (eligible after 30 days)
