Industrial Robotics Maintenance Technologist

Ready to keep high-tech manufacturing moving?

Do you thrive where robots, PLCs, hydraulics, and pneumatics meet? Are you calm under pressure when a line alarm demands a swift, safe, and smart response? If so, this role lets you grow from hands-on changovers to advanced programming and systems optimization.

Why this role matters

Protect uptime by responding rapidly to production issues and eliminating repeat failures.

Execute precise changeovers, soldering tasks, and adhesive dispense adjustments to meet schedule and quality goals.

Build capabilities—from troubleshooting to PLC/HMI modifications and robot path edits—over three progressive levels.

Work environment

Irregular schedules may be required.

Exposure to chemicals, high voltage, loud noise, and hazardous waste.

Strict adherence to health, safety, and environmental policies; correct handling/disposal of hazardous materials is mandatory.

What you'll tackle at each level

Level 1

Start up/shut down work centers and perform changeovers.

Troubleshoot basics on pneumatics, soldering, robots, tip changers, and assembly fixtures.

Complete barrel/drum changes and weight checks; understand production metrics and escalation.

Document all PMs/repairs in the CMMS; keep crossover notes and equipment logs current.

Other duties as assigned; follow all HSE requirements.

Level 2

All Level 1 responsibilities, plus:

Diagnose PLCs, hydraulics, pneumatics, servo drives, and vision systems.

Read/apply electrical schematics, pneumatic prints, and blueprints; replace hydraulic/pneumatic components.

Rebuild solder heads; troubleshoot robot programs; verify quality with gauging fixtures.

Other duties as assigned; follow all HSE requirements.

Level 3

All Level 2 responsibilities, plus:

Modify robot paths; teach/calibrate vision systems; update HMI screens.

Create/modify PLC ladder logic, HMI applications, pneumatic diagrams, and electrical schematics.

Apply GD&T; use metrology tools; work with industrial network protocols.

Optimize soldering processes; replace and tune servo drives.

Produce blueprints/drawings to support engineering designs.

Train maintenance/production teams; aid skills assessments and recommend/deliver training.

Drive problem-solving and continuous improvement projects.

Other duties as assigned; follow all HSE requirements.
