About the role

  • The ideal candidate is a hands-on problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced engineering environment and is fluent across mechanical, electrical, and automation disciplines.
  • Install and route sensor packages (limit switches, optical sensors, encoders, proximity sensors, pressure/flow sensors) for feedback and control.
  • Interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, hydraulic diagrams, motion drawings, and 3D CAD output to guide assembly and troubleshooting.

Responsibilities

  • Assemble and integrate actuators, servo motors, linear guides, rotary drives, gear systems, solenoids, and automated linkages into working mechanical systems.
  • Build and maintain hydraulic and pneumatic subsystems, including cylinders, valves, regulators, manifolds, pumps, and fluid routing hardware.
  • Perform electrical wiring, termination, crimping, labeling, and cable management for automation assemblies.
  • Support controls engineers with integration of PLC/SCADA and low-voltage control signals (24VDC, analog/digital I/O).
  • Assist in building robotic or transformer-like mechanisms that extend, fold, lift, rotate, engage, or change physical configuration automatically.
  • Troubleshoot automation faults, diagnose issues in actuators, drives, sensors, relays, control loops, and mechanical subassemblies.
  • Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, R&D, and fabrication teams to refine designs and improve repeatability and manufacturability.
  • Perform light machining, drilling, tapping, cutting, grinding, and assembly prep as needed.
  • Maintain shop equipment, tools, wiring stations, hydraulic lines, and safety protocols.

Requirements

  • Support pilot units, factory builds, field installations, and commissioning when required.

Nice to have

  • 3-7+ years of hands-on experience as a Mechatronics Technician, Automation Technician, Electromechanical Technician, Robotics Technician, or related role.
  • Strong experience with actuators, servos, linear actuators, hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic systems, valves, pumps, and motion assemblies.
  • Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, hydraulic/pneumatic schematics, and P&IDs.
  • Proficient in electrical wiring, cable harnessing, crimping, soldering, and connectorization.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and ability to diagnose multi-discipline issues (mechanical/electrical/hydraulic).
  • Experience using hand tools, power tools, metrology tools, and shop equipment.
  • Knowledge of basic machining or fabrication (CNC, drill press, grinders, band saws) is a plus.
  • Technical diploma or associate degree in Mechatronics, Industrial Automation, Electromechanical Technology, Robotics, or similar field preferred.
