Job description

Power the future of batteries as our Industrial Controls Reliability EngineerHelp us build the next wave of advanced battery systems for construction equipment, aerial work platforms, material handling, robotics, marine, military, and commercial EV applications. In this highly visible, hands‑on role based in Mason, Ohio, you’ll be the go‑to expert keeping our automated manufacturing assets reliable, safe, and continuously improving.

A day in the life

You’ll start by clearing a bottleneck on an automated line, dig into PLC logic to isolate a stubborn intermittent fault, collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering to shave seconds off a cycle, and wrap up by updating drawings, backups, and spares so we’re ready for tomorrow’s launch. Your mission: maximize uptime and quality while commissioning new equipment and elevating our maintenance strategy from preventive to predictive.

What you’ll do

Maintain and troubleshoot automated production equipment to maximize uptime and throughput.
Diagnose and repair electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, servo, and controls issues.
Program, debug, and modify PLCs, HMIs, motion control, and industrial automation systems.
Commission, install, start up, and validate new machines and production lines.
Develop and execute preventive and predictive maintenance programs to reduce unplanned downtime.
Lead root cause analyses using 5-Why, Fishbone, and Failure Mode Analysis (FMEA).
Own documentation: electrical drawings, PLC backups, equipment manuals, spares inventory, and maintenance records.
Support robots (industrial and collaborative), automated assembly, conveyors, torque systems, vision inspection, laser marking, dispensing, battery cyclers, and automated end‑of‑line test equipment.
Troubleshoot industrial networks and devices: Ethernet/IP, I/O, sensors, actuators, servo drives, and VFDs.
Design, modify, and enhance control panels, machine electrical systems, and production equipment.
Partner with Manufacturing Engineering to improve cycle times, reliability, ergonomics, quality, and throughput.
Analyze performance via OEE, MTBF, MTTR, downtime reports, and production metrics to drive improvements.
Recommend and implement capital upgrades, automation enhancements, and cost reductions.
Support facility services including compressed air, electrical distribution, HVAC interfaces, and related infrastructure.
Ensure compliance with OSHA, NFPA 70E, Lockout/Tagout, machine guarding, electrical safety, and company safety standards.
Collaborate closely with Quality, Manufacturing, Product Integration, Test Engineering, and Operations to resolve production issues fast.
Implement and sustain Odoo ERP, MES, and Maintenance modules for work orders, PM scheduling, spare parts, and equipment history.
