Industrial Automation & Reliability Technician

What your day looks like Morning starts with a walk-through of the lines, scanning HMIs and dashboards you’ve accessed remotely via secure VPN to verify PLC performance. A sensor handshake between two machines looks off—you step into ladder logic, trace the I/O, and get the cells talking again. Before lunch, you’re elbows-deep in a root-cause electrical fault, reading schematics, confirming with a multimeter and amp clamp, and validating insulation with a megger.

The afternoon turns creative: you tweak an automation sequence and retrofit hardware to boost uptime, then support a Panasonic and Motoman robot integration so the PLC and robots stay perfectly synchronized.
