What are the responsibilities and job description for the Electro Mechanical Tech position at Select Source International?
Position: Electromechanical Technician
Location: Plymouth, MN
Duration: 12 Months
About The Role
We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Electromechanical Technician to join our custom automation and equipment team. In this role, you will play a critical part in building, wiring, assembling, and commissioning custom automated machinery and robotic systems.
If you thrive in a hands-on environment, take pride in high-quality craftsmanship, and love solving complex mechanical and electrical problems, we want to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities
Equipment Assembly & Mechanical Build
Assemble complex mechanical components, frames, fixtures, subassemblies, and robotic systems strictly following engineering drawings and build documentation.
Perform precision alignments on mechanical parts including actuators, linear slides, sensors, and custom tooling.
Lay out and install pneumatic systems, including tubing, valve manifolds, and fittings.
Electrical & Controls Integration
Wire control panels, sensors, motors, and power distribution systems according to electrical schematics.
Route and dress cables and wiring harnesses for neat, reliable, and serviceable installations.
Assist controls engineers with I/O checkouts, initial power-up, machine debugging, and troubleshooting.
Machine Testing, Validation & Debug
Support mechanical dry runs, functional testing, and full system verification before customer delivery.
Identify operational issues during startup and collaborate with engineering teams to resolve mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, or logic bugs.
Perform basic robot path or PLC parameter adjustments under guidance from controls engineers.
Continuous Improvement & Documentation
Maintain precise build notes, redlines, and change feedback to help engineering update drawings for future builds.
Strictly follow standard work procedures, quality standards, and industrial safety guidelines.
Proactively suggest improvements in machine design, assembly methods, and hardware selection.
Required Qualifications
What We re Looking For
Experience: At least 1 year of hands-on experience in automated machinery, robotics, or custom equipment builds.
Education: Technical diploma, Associate degree, or equivalent practical experience in Automation, Mechatronics, or Machine Building.
Technical Skills
Strong understanding of mechanical assembly, pneumatics, and low-voltage electrical wiring.
Proven ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and pneumatic fluid diagrams.
Proficient with hand tools, precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers), and general shop equipment.
Physical Requirements: Ability to frequently bend, kneel, stoop, and work in prone or low positions for extended periods during build and debug phases.
Preferred Qualifications
Hands-on familiarity with PLCs, HMIs, and industrial robotic systems (e.g., FANUC, ABB, Mitsubishi).
Strong understanding of industrial safety standards (Lockout/Tagout, machine guarding, and safety circuit verification).
Field installation, commissioning, or field service experience.
Key Competencies
Mechanical Aptitude: Outstanding problem-solving skills with a logical approach to troubleshooting.
Attention to Detail: Pride in neat wiring, clean pneumatic routing, and precise mechanical fits.
Teamwork: Ability to work effectively both independently and alongside cross-functional engineering teams.
Communication: Clear verbal communication and reliable documentation habits.
