About the role
- We're looking for a hands-on controls engineering technician to be the first line of response when something stops - or before it does.
- You'll work directly alongside the controls engineering team, owning day-to-day line health while they focus on deeper system development.
- You'll be on the floor, online with PLCs, moving through robot programs, and hunting down faults before they become downtime.
Responsibilities
- Jog and run Fanuc robot programs, step through sequences, identify positional or logic issues, and perform minor program touchups under engineering direction
- Use Ignition SCADA/HMI to monitor line status, review tag history, and identify trends that indicate developing issues
- Respond to line stoppages and perform first-response diagnostics - gather the right data so the controls engineering team can resolve the root cause efficiently
- Document fault history, observations, and recurring issues in a clear, usable format
- Support PMs and controls engineers on commissioning, upgrades, and change verification
- Learn system architecture across the line - conveyors, AGVs, robots, safety systems - and build toward owning more of it over time
Requirements
- Experience with AGV systems or automated material handling
Nice to have
- Experience jogging and troubleshooting Fanuc robots - R-30iB controller or newer preferred
- Ignition experience is a plus
