Automation Systems Assembly & Commissioning Specialist

Automation Systems Assembly & Commissioning Specialist You start your day with a blueprint in one hand and a torque wrench in the other. On your bench are components destined to become a one-of-a-kind production line or a high-precision test stand. By afternoon, those parts are aligned, plumbed, wired, and running through their first functional checks. By week's end, you may be leading a run-off in our shop—or on a customer floor—validating that every station hits spec.

What a day looks like Translate engineering drawings, schematics, and build packets into a fully functioning automated machine or test system.

Fit, install, and align mechanical subassemblies with precision measuring tools to achieve repeatable, reliable motion.

Integrate pneumatic circuits (cylinders, valves, tubing) and basic electrical devices (sensors, actuators, wiring awareness) into the build.

Perform staged checkouts—component, subassembly, and system-level—documenting results and next steps.

Debug issues across mechanical, pneumatic, and basic electrical domains; determine root causes and implement lasting fixes.

Support machine run-off and commissioning both in-house and at customer sites; travel may be required up to 20% domestically and internationally.

Collaborate closely with Engineers, Electricians, vendors, and customers; surface drawing conflicts or part discrepancies early and clearly.

Communicate progress, risks, and opportunities to supervisors and project teams to keep schedules on track.

Champion quality and continuous improvement—reduce rework, suggest process tweaks, and uphold rigorous workmanship standards.

Maintain an orderly, safe work area and follow company and OSHA safety practices.

What you bring

At least five years of hands-on experience building automated machinery, assembly equipment, or test systems.

Background in custom machine building strongly preferred; technical training, apprenticeship, or trade certification is a plus.
