Job Description
Build, stabilize, and elevate automated production
Imagine you're on the line when a vision sensor flags a misalignment. You isolate the fault, tweak the robot path, verify with gauges, log the fix in CMMS, and coach the operator on a better check. Later, you adjust an adhesive dispense profile during a changeover, then stay late to push a servo drive swap so the morning crew starts strong. That blend of hands-on skill, systems thinking, and documentation is exactly what we're looking for. Where you'll work
High-automation manufacturing with robotic cells, PLC/HMI controls, hydraulics, pneumatics, and soldering processes. Schedules can be irregular. You will encounter chemicals, high voltage, loud noise, and hazardous waste—safety and environmental compliance are non-negotiable, including proper hazardous material handling and disposal. Your impact by level Level 1: Foundation
* Start up/shut down equipment and execute changeovers.
* Quickly respond to production interruptions to maximize availability.
* Troubleshoot fundamentals across pneumatics, soldering, robots, tip changers, and assembly fixtures.
* Handle barrel/drum changes, weight checks, and changeover tasks.
* Work with multiple adhesive types; resolve dispense issues.
* Track PMs and repairs in CMMS; share updates in crossover meetings and equipment logs.
* Understand production metrics and escalation paths.
* Follow all HSE policies and applicable regulations; handle hazardous materials correctly.
* Perform other duties as assigned.
Level 2: Systems troubleshooting
* Carry forward all Level 1 work, plus:
* Diagnose PLC programs, hydraulics, pneumatics, servo drives, and vision systems.
* Interpret electrical schematics, pneumatic prints, and blueprints; replace hydraulic/pneumatic components.
* Rebuild solder heads; troubleshoot robot programs.
* Use gauging fixtures for quality verification.
* Adhere to all HSE requirements; additional duties as assigned.
Level 3: Programming and optimization leader
* Extend all Level 2 scope, plus:
* Edit robot paths; teach and calibrate vision systems; implement HMI modifications.
* Create/modify PLC ladder logic and HMI applications; produce pneumatic diagrams and electrical schematics.
* Apply GD&T and metrology; leverage industrial network protocols.
* Improve soldering processes; perform servo drive replacements and tuning.
* Generate blueprints/drawings and contribute to engineering design.
* Train technicians and operators; support assessments and deliver targeted training.
* Lead problem-solving, continuous improvement, and departmental initiatives.
* Maintain HSE compliance; additional duties as assigned.
What you bring Level 1
* 1-3 years of mechanical/automation machine repair.
* Hands-on troubleshooting across assigned equipment.
* Mechanical knowledge of pneumatics and electrical.
* Clear written and verbal communication; collaborative mindset.
* English proficiency required; Spanish bilingual preferred.
Level 2
* All Level 1 qualifications, plus:
* Associate's in a technical field and/or significant experience or apprenticeship (journeyman) with 2-3 years in automation.
* 4-6 years troubleshooting/repairing automation, hydraulics, and electrical systems.
* PLC/HMI software navigation, connectivity, and troubleshooting proficiency.
* Ability to modify Allen Bradley PLC programs and refresh HMI applications.
* Skill in modifying/optimizing vision sensor programs.
* Experience with industrial robotics (ABB preferred), including troubleshooting and minor program adjustments.
* Fluent reading of electrical schematics, blueprints, and pneumatic/hydraulic diagrams.
Level 3
* All Level 2 qualifications, plus:
* 7+ years progressive automation/maintenance work with advanced programming/troubleshooting.
* Demonstrated expertise rebuilding machinery and integrating hydraulic, pneumatic, electronic, and robotic systems.
* Advanced PLC ladder logic/HMI development; pneumatic and electrical diagram creation.
* Vision system calibration and advanced robot path optimization.
* GD&T knowledge and precision metrology experience.
* Ability to contribute to design reviews and ensure code, safety, and maintainability compliance.
Physical demands
* Stand 8-12 hours/day.
* Lift up to 35 lbs repeatedly each hour.
* Frequent bending, twisting, turning, and lifting.
* Repetitive hand activities: gripping, grasping, pinching, squeezing.
Technical strengths and tools
* Strengths: mechanical troubleshooting; preventive maintenance and inspections; industrial robot programming; pneumatics troubleshooting; maintenance and repair; CNC setup/changeover.
* Platforms: Allen Bradley PLCs and HMI systems.
