Your Role

The Automated Equipment Specialist II is an experienced 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 I/O 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 intermediate level preventive and breakdown maintenance of automated production equipment - mechanically, pneumatically, and electrically.
• Perform intermediate-level maintenance activities on automated equipment including manufacturing equipment and manufacturing equipment control systems, laboratory equipment control systems, robotic systems, etc.
• Intermediate level knowledge base of the above systems that require minimal human intervention, the software, controllers, and other components.
• Automated Equipment Specialist maintains the integration of automated equipment with other systems, such as data networks, control and safety control systems, and software interfaces.
• Utilize predictive maintenance techniques and leverage data from sensors and electronic devices to drive proactive maintenance activities and predict/prevent equipment failures.
• Complete tasks that are more specialized than routine maintenance activities due to the modern automation technologies which include integrated data networks, control systems, and software interfaces.
• Diagnose and repair intermediate-level automated equipment malfunctions, minimize equipment downtime to support production schedules, and collaborate cross-functionally with Operations, Quality, and Engineering teams.
• Optimize preventative maintenance activities, maintain accurate documentation, support new equipment installation and validation, proactively identify and communicate safety, quality, and productivity concerns, collaborate cross-functionally and across shifts to resolve issues, follow all EHS requirements, contribute to continuous improvement and sustainability initiatives, maintain a clean and organized work environment, and work effectively with limited supervision.
