About the Role
This position sits at the center of advanced industrial automationoperations and is responsible for keeping highly automated equipment runningsafely, reliably, and at peak performance. As a Mechatronics and RoboticsTechnician, you will serve as a front line technical expert supportingintegrated mechanical, electrical, and controls based systems that power alarge scale fulfillment and distribution environment.

You will work across interconnected automation platforms thatinclude conveyor networks, robotic handling systems, automated packagingequipment, and sensor driven control systems. The role requires practicaltroubleshooting depth across electrical, mechanical, and controls layers, notjust component swap outs. You will be expected to diagnose failure modes, tracesignals, validate device behavior, and restore system functionality withminimal supervision.

The role goes beyond routine maintenance. You will independentlyinvestigate faults, isolate root causes, and execute corrective repairs acrossrobotic cells, automated conveyance, sortation equipment, drives, and smartsensing devices. You will regularly work inside control enclosures, onenergized and de-energized equipment following safety procedure, and alongsidelive operations teams where response time and technical accuracy matter.

This is an ideal opportunity for technicians who enjoy complextroubleshooting, hands on technical work, and continuous learning inautomation, robotics, and controls technology. The environment rewardsdiagnostic thinking, disciplined safety behavior, and ownership of equipmentreliability outcomes.

What You Will Own and Deliver Restore failed automation and robotic systems to operational condition through structured troubleshooting Take technical ownership of assigned equipment zones and critical assets Execute both planned and corrective maintenance with high documentation accuracy Identify repeat failure patterns and recommend reliability improvements Support rapid response repair activity during operational events and unplanned downtime Maintain readiness of critical spare parts, tools, and test equipment Provide technical feedback to reliability and engineering partners on recurring failure points

Core Technical Responsibilities Troubleshoot electro mechanical failures across automated material handling, robotic, and packaging systems Perform structured fault isolation using multimeters, clamp meters, and basic diagnostic tools Trace control circuits using electrical schematics, ladder diagrams, and point to point wiring prints Diagnose device level faults on PLC controlled equipment including sensors, inputs, outputs, and actuators Replace and recommission field devices including photo eyes, proximity sensors, encoders, solenoids, and limit switches Inspect and repair mechanical power transmission components including chains, sprockets, belts, pulleys, couplings, and bearings Service motors and drives including motor starters, contactors, overloads, and variable frequency drives Validate safety circuits including e stops, light curtains, interlocks, and guard switches Perform alignment, tensioning, and timing adjustments on high speed conveyor and sortation equipment Execute preventive and predictive maintenance tasks using task standards and tolerance ranges Capture failure codes, device states, and repair actions in CMMS with clear technical notes

Systems and Technology Exposure
Technicians in this role regularly work with: High speed conveyor and sortation systems including merges, diverts, transfers, and accumulation zones Robotic handling and automated workstations such as pick modules, palletizing cells, or guided automation platforms PLC based control systems at the field device level including input and output devices and control panels Motor control systems including starters, contactors, overload protection, and variable speed drives Electrical distribution panels and low voltage industrial control circuits Pneumatic systems including valves, cylinders, regulators, and air preparation units Hydraulic components where installed, including actuators and control valves Industrial safety systems including guarded zones, interlock circuits, and emergency stop networks Smart sensors including photoelectric, inductive, capacitive, and barcode based detection devices Maintenance and asset tracking platforms such as CMMS for work orders and asset history
