Candidates must be capable of troubleshooting die‑casting machine cells or directly comparable automated industrial equipment using PLC information and electrical/hydraulic schematics.

ROBOTICS EXPERIENCE:

Experience modifying positions and diagnosing ABB robotic-cell problems is highly relevant. Direct experience with M94, M98, M2000, M2600, or M6700 systems should be documented whenever present.

EDUCATION NOTE:

The position requires technical or vocational preparation such as maintenance or industrial-technology coursework, a certificate program, or some college coursework. Equivalent directly related technical training should be carefully documented.

SHIFT NOTE:

Candidates must specifically confirm which shift they are pursuing and their ability to work approximately 50–60 hours per week with expected overtime.
