Your Role

The Automated Equipment Specialist I is an entry level position within the Automated Equipment Maintenance team. The Automated Equipment Maintenance team primarily focuses on the maintenance of equipment that operates autonomously or with minimal human intervention, such as robotics, conveyor systems, and automated assembly lines. Maintenance of automated equipment often requires specialized knowledge of software, sensors, controllers, and other components specific to automation technology.

Automated equipment maintenance may heavily rely on predictive maintenance techniques, leveraging data from sensors and IoT devices to predict equipment failures and schedule maintenance proactively. Automated Equipment maintenance involves maintaining the integration of automated equipment with other systems, such as data networks, control systems, and software interfaces. Compared to manufacturing maintenance, automated equipment maintenance requires a higher degree of specialization in modern automation technologies.

Duties include:

* Daily preventative and breakdown maintenance of automated production equipment - mechanically, pneumatically, and electrically.

* Perform basic maintenance activities on automated equipment including manufacturing equipment and manufacturing equipment control systems, laboratory equipment control systems, robotic systems, etc.
