Job description

Jora Malaysia will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey.

High-Volume Machine Uptime: Perform rapid troubleshooting and emergency repairs on high-runner automated production lines to minimize cycle-time bottlenecks.

Preventive & Corrective Maintenance: Execute strict preventive maintenance (PM) schedules to avoid breakdowns on high-speed automation equipment.

System Troubleshooting: Diagnose mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, hardware, and PLC control system errors on the fly.

Automation & Vision Optimization: Calibrate and adjust sensors, robotic arms (Pick-and-Place), conveyors, and automated vision systems.

Yield Recovery: Address repetitive machine jams, software version errors, and physical component placement defects to keep high runner outputs steady.

Data Log & Documentation: Meticulously log downtime data, machine failure modes, parts consumption, and yield metrics to support continuous improvement.

Safety & 5’s: Strictly adhere to Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) protocols during high-speed machine interventions, maintain zero-hazard automation enclosures, and keep workstations meticulously organized to sustain high-volume production flow.

Required Technical Skills & Competencies:

Automation Systems: Hands-on experience with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), robotic arms, and smart conveyors.

Hardware Diagnostics: Proficient in reading electrical schematics, pneumatic circuits, and mechanical engineering drawings.

Vision & Smart Sensors: Ability to calibrate camera alignments, proximity sensors, and barcode/QR scanners used in high-volume tracing.

Lean Manufacturing Mindset: Clear understanding of demand flow, cycle times, and minimizing waste (Lean/5S) in mass-production setups.

Tool Proficiency: Skilled with precision hand tools, digital mustimeters, and diagnostic measurement equipment.

Shift Flexibility: Willingness to work rotating shift schedules (day/night) to support 24/7 high-volume factory operations

Documentation & Reporting

Handover Logs: Document all technical incidents, major breakdowns, parameters adjusted, and pending issues in the digital logbook to ensure smooth shift transitions.

Spare Parts Tracking: Record the usage of critical automation spares (e.g., replacement cylinders, sensors, motors) in the inventory management system to trigger replenishment.

Failure Mode Logging: Categorize and document repetitive faults (e.g., recurring feeder jams, vision errors) to assist engineering teams in Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
