Maintenance Tech IV

We begin with dreams. Dreams drive our motivation. Dreams are our future. The world's dreams, people's dreams, our dreams. Our passion creates ideas that make dreams come alive. Technology and products that were only dreams become reality.

All for dreams. Dreams challenge and the Nidec‑Group will continue to meet the challenge. For the world's and people's tomorrows; the world's first, the world's best technologies and products; we will continue our part in creating a better society.

The Maintenance Technician IV functions as the highest‑level individual contributor within the Manufacturing Maintenance Technician job family. Work frequently involves critical assets, advanced automation, complex failure modes, and high‑risk or time‑critical situations. The role partners closely with Maintenance Engineering, Reliability, Operations, Controls, and Leadership to resolve chronic issues, support major equipment initiatives, and drive maintenance excellence. While not a formal supervisor, the role provides functional leadership through expertise, mentoring, and standard‑setting.

The position typically reports to a Maintenance Manager, Reliability Manager, or Manufacturing Operations Leader.

• Lead diagnosis and correction of the most complex mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and automation failures
• Troubleshoot advanced PLC‑controlled systems, drives, motors, robotics, safety circuits, HMIs, and industrial networks (within training and authorization)
• Resolve chronic, non‑routine, or high‑impact equipment issues that affect safety or production continuity
• Act as the escalation authority for breakdowns and critical equipment events

• Optimize preventive and predictive maintenance strategies for critical manufacturing assets
• Identify systemic failure modes and implement durable reliability improvements
• Support root‑cause failure analysis (RCFA) and corrective action development
• Partner with Maintenance Engineers and Reliability to improve asset lifecycle performance

• Provide advanced diagnostic support for automated and integrated manufacturing systems
• Support commissioning, startup, upgrades, and modifications of new or existing equipment
• Collaborate with Controls, Engineering, OEMs, and vendors on advanced technical issues
• Support system validation and operational readiness for production use

• Champion a strong safety culture and enforce strict adherence to safety standards and lockout/tagout practices
• Identify and mitigate equipment‑related safety risks and failure hazards
• Support safety audits, investigations, and corrective action implementation
• Ensure maintenance work complies with environmental, quality, and regulatory requirements

• Identify and drive improvements in equipment reliability, maintainability, uptime, and performance
• Provide input to equipment design, spare parts strategy, and maintenance standards
• Lead or strongly influence continuous improvement, TPM, or reliability initiatives
• Support development of standard work, troubleshooting guides, and best practices

• Serve as a master‑level technical mentor to Maintenance Technician I‑III roles
• Support training, cross‑qualification, and development of maintenance team skills
• Share technical expertise, lessons learned, and best practices across shifts or sites
• Act as a trusted technical advisor to supervisors, engineers, and leadership

• Ensure thorough, high‑quality documentation of complex maintenance activities in the CMMS
• Capture failure modes, corrective actions, and reliability insights for future reference
• Support audit readiness and technical documentation accuracy

Significant site‑level or multi‑area impact on manufacturing reliability and safety. Work is highly autonomous, complex, and often time‑critical. Errors or misjudgments can materially affect safety, production output, equipment integrity, or customer commitments. Directly shapes maintenance capability, reliability performance, and operational stability.
