Electro-mechanical technicians combine knowledge of mechanical technology with knowledge of electrical and electronic circuitry. They operate, test, and maintain automated, robotic, or electromechanical equipment. Your duties include familiarizing yourself with blueprints and schematics of different equipment, inspecting equipment to ensure it meets design specifications, and troubleshooting problems when users report issues with their equipment. This includes repairing pneumatic circuits, replacing electrical circuits, or recalibrating industrial robotic tools.

The Electro-mechanical Technician will report to the Senior Automation Specialist.
