• Automation & Vision Systems: Perform basic adjustments, component replacements, and troubleshooting on PLC-controlled machinery and automated vision inspection systems (Cognex, Keyence).
• Schematic Interpretation: Read and precisely interpret electrical blueprints, electronic layouts, and pneumatic/hydraulic schematics to trace faults and execute component-level replacements.
• Systems & Networking: Navigate industrial PC interfaces, interface with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), and assist with basic equipment network connectivity troubleshooting.
• Quality & Clean Room Compliance: Execute all technical interventions within a controlled Clean Room environment, ensuring absolute adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and strict documentation protocols.
• Preventative Maintenance: Perform scheduled PMs, equipment setups, and calibrations using precision measuring tools to minimize line downtime.

Qualifications:

• Industry Experience: Minimum of 3+ years of hands-on technical experience within a highly regulated manufacturing environment ( Medical Device, Pharmaceutical, or Aerospace ).
• Automation Exposure: Practical knowledge of PLCs, sensors, automated feeders, and vision inspection systems.
• Precision Tools: Proficient in using digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, calipers, micrometers, and specialized industrial hand tools.
• Core Competencies: Strong technical writing (for equipment logs), proactive problem-solving, and a team-focused mindset.
