  • Conduct functional testing, calibration, alignment, and fine-tuning of actuators and automated equipment.
  • Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and R&D engineers to convert prototypes into manufacturable automated systems.
  • Support troubleshooting of electromechanical failures, diagnosing faults in actuators, drives, relays, and control circuits.
  • Assist in developing automated testing rigs, motion assemblies, and hands-free mechanical systems that improve product reliability.
  • Maintain tools, test equipment, hydraulic lines, and wiring harnesses, and ensure adherence to safety protocols in the shop environment.
  • Perform all other duties as instructed by the company.

  • Basic understanding of PLC/controls signals (24VDC, analog/digital I/O).
  • Able to read and interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and P&IDs.
  • Proficient with hand tools, power tools, and shop equipment used in automation assembly.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude, problem-solving ability, and attention to detail.
  • Experience with servo/stepper controllers, VFDs, or motion control systems is a plus.
