Machine Maintenance Technician

The Machine Maintenance Technician ensures the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of advanced manufacturing equipment by performing preventive maintenance, troubleshooting mechanical and electrical issues, and supporting production through timely repairs and equipment optimization. This role works hands-on with complex machinery, including PCB manufacturing and electronics assembly equipment, to minimize downtime, extend equipment life, and maintain high-quality production standards while adhering to strict safety procedures.

• Perform Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures to safely de-energize and secure equipment before maintenance or repair activities, maintaining strict compliance with safety standards.
• Conduct scheduled and preventative maintenance on machinery and equipment, including inspections, lubrication, adjustments, and component replacement to reduce downtime and extend equipment life.
• Execute gear changes, mechanical adjustments, and calibrations to support production requirements and ensure proper alignment, operational efficiency, and product quality.
• Troubleshoot and diagnose mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic issues, identify root causes, and implement timely corrective actions to restore equipment functionality.
• Maintain and repair manufacturing machines used for printed circuit board (PCB) production and electronics assembly, including SMT equipment, conveyors, ovens, test chambers, vacuum systems, and related machinery.
• Use electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic schematics to trace faults down to individual components and determine effective repair strategies.
• Use meters, gauges, diagnostic tools, and hand tools to test, adjust, calibrate, and repair equipment to meet operational and safety specifications.
• Perform mechanical and electrical repairs, including component replacement, alignment, and tuning, to keep equipment running at peak performance.
• Operate machines when needed to verify proper functionality after maintenance or repair activities.
• Document maintenance activities by writing clear repair notes and reports as required, ensuring accurate maintenance records and traceability.
• Apply Lean Manufacturing and root-cause analysis methods to improve equipment reliability, reduce recurring issues, and support continuous improvement initiatives.
• Occasionally operate forklifts or scissor lifts to access equipment or move materials in a safe and controlled manner.
• Collaborate with production, engineering, and operations teams to prioritize work, support production goals, and communicate equipment status and repair timelines.
• Follow all safety policies and procedures while working on high-tech manufacturing equipment, maintaining a clean and organized work area.

• At least 5+ years of experience as a maintenance technician or field service technician in an industrial or manufacturing environment.
• Strong industrial and machine maintenance experience, including mechanical repair and preventive maintenance.
• Proven mechanical troubleshooting skills with the ability to diagnose and repair complex mechanical systems.
• Hands-on experience with electrical troubleshooting and electrical maintenance on production equipment.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic schematics and diagrams.
• Experience maintaining and repairing PCB manufacturing or electronics assembly equipment, including SMT equipment, conveyors, ovens, test chambers, or vacuum systems.
• Proficiency in using meters, gauges, and diagnostic tools to test, adjust, and repair equipment.
• Familiarity with PLC control systems and PLC troubleshooting, as well as basic ladder logic concepts.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and the ability to perform gear changes, alignments, and mechanical adjustments.
• Ability to safely perform Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures and follow established safety protocols.
• High attention to detail with strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Capability to write clear maintenance and repair notes and complete required documentation.

• Experience working with surface mount technology (SMT) equipment and electronics manufacturing processes.
• Experience in working with equipment that uses chemicals, heat, vacuum, lasers, and drilling systems.
• Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing principles and root-cause analysis methods to drive continuous improvement.
• IPC certifications related to electronics quality standards are a strong plus.
• Experience operating forklifts or scissor lifts in a maintenance or industrial setting.
• General machine operating experience in a fast-paced production environment.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams in manufacturing and engineering.
