Electro Mechanical Technician

OUR TEAM:

We’re a collaborative group of skilled technicians and engineers who keep Promega’s automated production systems running reliably and efficiently. Our team works hands‑on with advanced electromechanical systems, supporting everything from routine maintenance to complex troubleshooting and new equipment commissioning. We thrive on solving problems, sharing knowledge, and continuously improving our equipment and processes to support high‑quality manufacturing in a regulated environment.

As an experienced Electro‑Mechanical Technician, you’ll play a key role in minimizing equipment downtime, executing preventative maintenance, and leading troubleshooting efforts on a wide range of production equipment. You’ll work independently while also mentoring junior technicians, collaborating with stakeholders, and supporting equipment upgrades and installations. Your expertise in automation, diagnostics, and mechanical systems will help ensure production stays safe, efficient, and future‑ready.

Maintain production equipment to ensure resources are capable and available to production. Improve equipment functionality and production processes. Support the installation and commissioning of new equipment. Assist in training entry‑level Electro‑Mechanical Technicians.

• Analyze and solve most mechanical and electrical issues independently, with guidance available as needed. Exercise judgment in methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria for obtaining results.
• Execute preventative maintenance on operational equipment per approved plans. Account for materials used during maintenance. Create work orders for tasks outside of the preventative maintenance plan. Provide feedback to the supervisor on improvement of maintenance tasks.
• Respond to requests for support in a timely and efficient manner to reduce unplanned downtime. Communicate root cause of failure.
• Perform complex maintenance tasks, including fabrication, assembly, installation, operation, maintenance, modification, and testing of electrical and mechanical components, apparatus, and equipment. Verify dimensions and clearances of parts using precision measuring instruments.
• Provide technical and project direction to junior technicians, including standards and specifications. Transfer process and equipment knowledge to manufacturing and junior staff.
• Coordinate with production and stakeholders to plan and schedule equipment downtime for training, maintenance, and improvements.
• Read blueprints, schematics, diagrams, and technical orders to determine methods and means to solve problems.
• Assist in reducing manufacturing costs by identifying and supporting changes to equipment and processes. Coordinate timing and communication of changes with stakeholders.
• Assist in projects involving new equipment introduction. Assist in developing specifications, installing, and testing equipment.
• Maintain bill of materials, manuals, and drawings to support uptime and proper machine operation.
• Work with PLCs, HMIs, robotics, vision systems, sensors, and servo controllers. Test the performance of electromechanical assemblies using test instruments such as oscilloscopes and electronic voltmeters.
• Utilize AI tools to diagnose, troubleshoot, and perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
