- Utilize system data, alarms, logs, and dashboards to identify fault conditions and recurring issues.
- Document maintenance activities, repairs, and findings using CMMS systems (e.g., Maximo) and internal tools.
- Act as a senior technical escalation point during system disruptions or downtime events.
- Partner with on-site maintenance, operations, and technical teams to restore and stabilize system performance.
- Provide technical guidance and on-the-job support to maintenance technicians and operators.
- Step in to support critical on-site technical functions as needed to maintain operational continuity.
- Ensure compliance with OSHA, LOTO, electrical safety, and Symbotic safety standards.
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Automation Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
- Minimum of 1 year of hands-on experience with PLCs, preferably Allen-Bradley, focused on diagnostics and troubleshooting (not heavy programming).
- Minimum of 1 year of experience with VFDs, including diagnosing speed, torque, and drive-related issues.
- Minimum of 1 year of experience working with AC and DC motors.
- Hands-on experience with automated systems such as conveyor systems, conveyor belts, vertical lifts, and motor-driven equipment.
- Experience supporting autonomous or semi-autonomous systems, including conveyors, lifts, AS/RS, robotics, servo motors, or 480V systems.
- Working knowledge of SQL, Python, and Linux for diagnostics, log review, and system interaction.
- Strong hands-on experience assembling, operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting robotics and electro-mechanical systems.
- Prior experience in maintenance engineering, automation maintenance, or lead maintenance technician roles preferred.
- Work is performed in an active industrial environment with high levels of automation.
- Ability to work at heights of up to 45 feet and within confined spaces.
- Ability to lift and/or move up to 50 pounds.
- Exposure to varying temperatures and production conditions.
