Role Overview

The Electro-Mechanical Production Technician (Automation) supports the assembly, testing, and troubleshooting of industrial automation systems. This role works closely with engineering and production teams and offers exposure to complete automation builds — not just repetitive bench assembly.

• Troubleshoot assembly and functionality issues and work with engineering to resolve them

• Document assembly and testing activities as required

• Collaborate with technicians, engineers, and project managers to meet project timelines

• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work environment

What We’re Looking For

• High school diploma or equivalent required

• Technical training, certification, or hands-on mechanical/electrical experience preferred

• Entry-level candidates with strong mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn are encouraged to apply

• Experience reading and interpreting drawings and schematics is a plus

• Comfortable using hand and power tools in a production environment

• Strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills

• Ability to work independently while also contributing to a team environment

• Interest in learning automation systems, robotics, and system-level assembly

Physical Requirements

• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs

• Ability to distinguish colors for wiring and component identification

Growth & Development

This role provides exposure to full automation system builds and opportunities to develop skills in mechanical assembly, electrical integration, testing, and troubleshooting. Technicians who demonstrate strong performance and initiative may grow into advanced technician roles or specialized areas over time.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive compensation based on experience

• Paid vacation and company holidays

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• Short-term disability, long-term disability, and life insurance

• 401(k) retirement plan
