• Partner with automation engineers on system improvements and optimization
• Perform preventative maintenance on automated production lines
• Respond to equipment downtime and drive root cause analysis

What We’re Looking For

Key experience includes:

• Industrial automation environments
• PLC troubleshooting (Allen Bradley or similar)
• Robotics or automated conveyor systems
• Electrical and mechanical troubleshooting
• Sensors, motor controls, and VFDs

Backgrounds That Translate Well

• Manufacturing environments
• Distribution or fulfillment automation
• Robotics and material handling systems
• Industrial maintenance roles supporting automated equipment

• Full benefits package
• Exposure to modern automation and robotics systems
