Job Title:

Manufacturing Technician PM

Job Description

The Manufacturing Technician PM performs testing, troubleshooting, and validation of complex electromechanical manufacturing equipment and subsystems in a high-technology environment. This role executes pre-test checks, acceptance testing, and final system verification prior to customer release while working closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, R&D, and Assembly teams. The technician analyzes test data, documents results, and supports continuous improvement efforts to enhance equipment performance, reliability, and manufacturing test processes.

Responsibilities

+ Perform testing, troubleshooting, and validation of complex electromechanical manufacturing equipment and subsystems.

+ Execute pre-test checks, acceptance testing, and final system verification prior to customer release.

+ Troubleshoot equipment failures, identify root causes, and support corrective actions in partnership with Engineering and Manufacturing teams.

+ Install, remove, and configure components within test systems using hand tools and mechanical assemblies.

+ Analyze test data, document results, and maintain accurate and complete manufacturing test records.

+ Operate proprietary testing software and computerized test systems to support manufacturing operations.

+ Read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, bills of material (BOMs), schematics, and work instructions to perform test and assembly activities.

+ Utilize precision measurement and troubleshooting tools, including calipers, multimeters, and related inspection equipment, to verify equipment performance.

+ Support testing and operation of vacuum systems, power supplies, pumps, and electromechanical systems.

+ Participate in cross-training across multiple manufacturing and test stations to provide flexible support where needed.

+ Work directly with Manufacturing Engineering, R&D, and Assembly teams to resolve technical issues and improve testing processes.

+ Support continuous improvement efforts by identifying recurring issues, contributing to root cause analysis, and recommending process improvements.

+ Apply structured troubleshooting methods to explain problem identification, root cause analysis, corrective actions taken, and final outcomes.

+ Work on equipment, machinery, or test systems rather than solely on finished products, ensuring reliable operation in production environments.

+ Use enterprise systems such as ERP tools and SAP (where applicable) to support manufacturing and test activities.

Essential Skills

+ 2+ years of hands-on experience as a manufacturing, test, equipment, electromechanical, or maintenance technician.

+ Demonstrated experience testing and troubleshooting equipment rather than only operating machinery.

+ Strong mechanical aptitude and comfort working on electromechanical systems and complex builds.

+ Proficiency using hand tools for assembly, installation, maintenance, or repair of equipment and components.

+ Ability to read and work from engineering drawings, blueprints, schematics, bills of material (BOMs), and detailed work instructions.

+ Experience using precision measurement tools such as calipers for mechanical inspection and verification.

+ Experience using multimeters and related electrical test equipment for troubleshooting and validation.

+ Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to clearly explain problem identification, root cause analysis, corrective actions, and final outcomes.

+ Comfort learning and using computerized test systems and proprietary testing software.

+ Experience working on equipment, machinery, or test systems in a manufacturing or technical environment.

+ Ability to support corrective actions and collaborate with Engineering and Manufacturing to resolve equipment issues.

+ Familiarity with schematic reading and mechanical troubleshooting in a production or equipment-focused setting.
