Responsible for reporting mechanical problems to the supervisor and locking out unsafe systems. Proactive in proceeding with necessary repairs utilizing relevant safety protocols. Reviews schematics, wiring diagrams, performance specifications and manufacturing manuals to become familiar with the design and operating requirements of the equipment and the multi-purpose electronic and/or electro-mechanical control systems.
Ability to set up and operate a variety of highly sensitive and precise electronic test tools and equipment. Conduct functional and operation testing on electrical equipment. If the repair is performed on a machine or robot, operate the controller to run necessary cycles and calibration routines to ensure readiness for production.
When asked, assist with planning upcoming installations, repairs, and preventive maintenance of electronic and/or electro-mechanical equipment. Perform preventive maintenance using work orders and relevant schematics and user manuals.
Make critical adjustments during troubleshooting and testing events, including ladder logic, parameter settings, PLC programming, and other electrical components to properly sync, align and tune highly inter-related circuits and systems.
Establish arrangement and location of components to eliminate electronic interference and ensure proper heat dissipation and safe access for preventive maintenance.
