Lead Electromechanical Reliability Technician

Step into a day on our maintenance team

Your shift begins with a quick scan of the CMMS, prioritizing preventive tasks and any urgent corrective tickets. You’ll move from a semi-automated cell that needs a controls tweak, to a production line showing low yield where you diagnose the root cause using schematics and equipment data. Later, you’ll collaborate with manufacturing engineers to qualify a new machine, review CAD drawings for a fixture update, and coordinate a service contractor’s visit. Before close, you’ll log PM results, parts used, and corrective actions—keeping our operation running smoothly.

What you’ll take on

• Own both scheduled PMs and unscheduled repairs for production assets with minimal oversight.
• Troubleshoot complex issues across electrical, mechanical, and controls; interpret prints and schematics, and leverage CAD to assist with blueprints/tooling updates.
• Diagnose and resolve PLC-related faults and broader industrial control challenges.
• Improve reliability by modifying equipment and refining processes; jump in with assembly/production tasks when needed to maintain floor flow.
• Partner with manufacturing engineering on equipment qualification, debug, and restoration to service.
• Identify, source, and procure parts and components required for maintenance activities.
• Fabricate or modify mechanical components and production fixturing as needed.
• Serve as primary contact for vendors and service providers, coordinating onsite work.
• Verify proper operation of semi-automated systems and adjust settings for stability and throughput.
• Monitor machine, tool, and equipment performance; correct issues driving nonconformance, low yields, or quality concerns.
• Coach peers on equipment setup, repair techniques, and preventive practices.
• Document work orders, PM outcomes, and corrective measures in the CMMS.
• Perform additional related tasks as assigned.
