Job description

Automation & Tooling - Mechanical Assembly Technician

An Automation Equipment Assembly Technician is responsible for building, testing, and debugging automated machinery, robotics, and complex mechanical. They transform engineering drawings and schematics into fully functional factory automation.

Tasks and responsibilities

Mechanical Assembly: Assemble high-precision automated machinery, machine frames, linear guides, safety guarding, and conveyor systems using aluminum extrusions and raw hardware. Work independently to create new designs and improve existing ones.

Drawing Interpretation: Read, analyze, and precisely follow mechanical engineering drawings, electrical schematics, and P&ID diagrams.

Debugging & Test run: Assist engineers in the initial start-up, testing, troubleshooting, and "debugging" of machines to fix mechanical misalignments or electrical faults.

Fabrication: Use basic workshop machinery (milling machines, lathes, drill presses, saws) to modify or fabricate custom parts, jigs, and fixtures on the fly.

Documentation: Redline engineering drawings to record any physical changes or adjustments made during the physical build for the design team.

Maintenance & Calibration: Perform regular maintenance on existing automation tooling and calibrate sensors, actuators, and mechanical links.

Authorization

Access to project documents

Conditions of employment and interaction

Cooperation / adjustment with project leaders of other internal departments within BT TPS

Working closely with TPS management and heads of departments of TPS

Requirements

EDUCATION, QUALIFICATION

Technical diploma, Automation Technology, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent vocational certifications.

EXPERIENCES
