A day in the life

At 5:00 PM, the lines are humming and robots are in motion. You step onto the production floor—where you’ll spend about 90% of your time—ready to keep high-speed, highly automated equipment running at peak performance. A jam triggers an alert; you dive in, diagnose quickly, and implement a fix. Later, you perform a root cause analysis on a recurring fault, update the PM plan, order critical spares, and coach a junior tech through a servo tuning exercise. Before the night ends, you help commission a new station and document downtime and corrective actions to drive better OEE tomorrow.

Impact you’ll make

• Maintain, troubleshoot, and repair automated manufacturing assets in a robotics-driven environment
• Analyze failures to identify root causes and implement durable corrective actions
• Improve OEE and drive performance KPIs across high-speed lines
• Track downtime, failures, and resolutions with rigorous documentation
• Manage and reorder spare parts to ensure readiness
• Support installation and commissioning of new equipment and lines
• Own preventive maintenance strategies and execution
• Mentor junior technicians and collaborate closely with operations

What you bring

• 3+ years maintaining equipment in high-speed manufacturing
• Robotics experience (ABB preferred; other platforms welcome)
• Hands-on knowledge of pneumatic and electrical systems
• Ability to troubleshoot PLCs (Inovance experience is a plus, not required)
• Strong mechanical and electrical fault-finding skills
• Ability to read CAD drawings and familiarity with servo controls
• Comfort working with international trainers (language barrier expected)
• Own basic hand tools (specialty tools provided)

Preferred

• Bachelor’s in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or equivalent high-level hands-on maintenance experience

Why this role

• Work at the forefront of clean energy manufacturing
• Extensive exposure to automation and industrial robotics
• Real career growth as new production lines come online
• Startup energy: innovative, collaborative, all-hands environment

Compensation & benefits

• Health, dental, and vision insurance (Anthem)
• 401(k) with company match
• Two weeks PTO plus holidays
• Continuous training and advancement opportunities
