Job description

Job Overview

The Automation/Controls Technician uses many of the same skills as a mechanic and/or machinist. It requires hands-on skills learned from repairing equipment, machining, fabrication, troubleshooting, assembly, etc. These skills are ideal for helping us build the custom automation equipment that we design. Working with our engineers and other technicians, this role involves helping our team assemble, wire, plumb, test run, troubleshoot, and repair custom-designed automation equipment. The automation equipment we design incorporates high-tech systems such as robots, lasers, dial indexers, pick and place mechanisms, automatic feeders, automatic packaging, induction heating, machining, sawing, welding, forming, pressing, and more.

• Manage projects including organization and cleaning. Organize incoming materials from our machine shop and outside vendors for various projects. Calculate dimensions, plan layout, and determine assembly methods for components of the automation. Verify dimensions, alignments, and clearances.
• Lift machine parts and position and secure parts on surface plates or worktables. Fit and assemble parts into assemblies and mechanisms.
• Wire and plumb machines with guidance from engineers or technicians. Set up and troubleshoot basic automation electronics such as sensors and VFDs.
• Have experience with setting up and operating machine tools such as lathes, milling machines, and welding equipment to machine or fabricate parts. Verify conformance of machined parts to specifications.
• Willingness to attend training to expand knowledge of current programming languages and machine maintenance, e.g., Basic Electrical, Mechanical, Hydraulic, Pneumatic, and various PLC – Robotic coding.
