Job summary

CreateMe is seeking an Engineering Technician with strong electrical and wiring expertise to support the development, integration, and continuous improvement of our next-generation automated apparel assembly systems.

You will work hands-on with prototype machinery, electro-mechanical subsystems, control panels, sensors, motion components, and custom tooling—helping the engineering team diagnose issues, optimize designs, and push our automation platform toward commercialization.

Qualifications

5+ years of technical experience aligned with the responsibilities of this role.
AS degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, Automation, or related field or equivalent hands-on industry experience.
Strong wiring experience: control panels, low-voltage systems, sensors, motor drivers, power distribution, cable management.
Experience troubleshooting electro-mechanical systems, including reading schematics, interpreting electrical drawings, and using diagnostic tools (DMMs, continuity testers, oscilloscopes—basic level).
Hands-on experience operating, maintaining, or repairing automated or semi-automated machinery.
Ability to run experiments, follow test procedures, capture accurate data, and communicate findings clearly.
Proficiency with hand tools, power tools, and measurement equipment.
Comfortable in a fast-paced R&D environment; able to work independently and collaborate effectively with engineers.
Ability to stand for extended periods, climb/stoop/push/pull, perform repetitive tasks, and occasionally lift up to 30 lbs.

Responsibilities

Assemble, wire, route, and terminate electrical panels, prototype control boxes, junctions, and harnesses following engineering schematics.
Troubleshoot electrical issues (power, signal, grounding, noise, sensor wiring, motor drivers, PLC/IPC-connected components).
Test, validate, and document electrical subsystem performance, including suggested wiring or hardware improvements.
Support electrical safety, labeling, organization, and preventive maintenance of prototype automation systems.
Operate prototype automation equipment, log system behavior, and identify repeatable bugs, gaps, or failure modes.
Collect, organize, and present experiment data—photos, wiring notes, test logs, parameter sets, timing data—for engineering debug and root-cause analysis.
Assist in system bring-up for new prototypes, including alignment, calibration, and integration of updated components.
Perform routine maintenance on R&D equipment; maintain logs; identify needed spare parts; track inventory.
Create or update SOPs, maintenance instructions, wiring diagrams, and troubleshooting guides.
Assist with technician-level mechanical build tasks (mounting hardware, panel layout, fasteners, brackets, cable routing).
Support quality, safety, and lab operations standards at all times.
