Electro‑Mechanical Controls Maintenance Technician

Build, stabilize, and elevate automated production

Imagine you’re on the line when a vision sensor flags a misalignment. You isolate the fault, tweak the robot path, verify with gauges, log the fix in CMMS, and coach the operator on a better check. Later, you adjust an adhesive dispense profile during a changeover, then stay late to push a servo drive swap so the morning crew starts strong.

That blend of hands-on skill, systems thinking, and documentation is exactly what we’re looking for.

Where you’ll work

High-automation manufacturing with robotic cells, PLC/HMI controls, hydraulics, pneumatics, and soldering processes. Schedules can be irregular. You will encounter chemicals, high voltage, loud noise, and hazardous waste—safety and environmental compliance are non-negotiable, including proper hazardous material handling and disposal.
