Servo Motor Specialist

Objective

Establish and maintain optimal performance of servo-driven motion control systems across industrial automation operations. Focus on system reliability, precision tuning, and rapid fault resolution to support continuous manufacturing processes.

Responsibilities

• Deploy and integrate servo motor assemblies, drive controllers, and feedback mechanisms per technical specifications and engineering documentation
• Execute diagnostic procedures and corrective actions on motion control hardware including amplifiers, motors, and position sensing devices
• Conduct scheduled inspection protocols and component replacement activities to prevent unplanned equipment failures
• Configure drive parameters for motion profile optimization including acceleration curves, positioning accuracy, and force output management
• Resolve technical faults affecting encoder feedback loops, resolvers, and fieldbus communication infrastructure
• Generate comprehensive service records documenting interventions, component modifications, and maintenance cycles
• Analyze circuit diagrams, control logic sequences, and equipment manuals to isolate and correct system malfunctions
• Partner with production and technical departments to enhance machine uptime and operational efficiency
• Transfer technical knowledge to operations personnel and technician colleagues
• Manage critical component inventory and identify replenishment needs
• Champion reliability improvement projects targeting equipment performance gains

Requirements

• Technical diploma in electrical engineering technology, mechatronics, automation systems, or equivalent professional background
• 3-5 years demonstrated field experience with servo motor technology and industrial motion drives
• Comprehensive knowledge of brushless AC/DC motors, stepper motor systems, and servo motor architectures
• Working proficiency across multiple servo drive platforms and control ecosystems in industrial use
• Practical understanding of motion control architectures, programmable logic controllers, and industrial Ethernet protocols including EtherNet/IP, Profinet, and Modbus
• Capability to decode electrical diagrams, control wiring layouts, and technical documentation
• Physical capacity to handle components up to 50 pounds intermittently
• Willingness to work in elevated positions and restricted access areas as maintenance demands
• Availability for non-standard shift coverage including overnight and weekend emergency response when production-critical situations arise

Preferences

• Four-year degree in electrical engineering or related engineering discipline
• Background with robotic systems, computer numerical control equipment, or conveyor automation platforms
• Professional credentials in motion control technology or drive system specialization
• Working knowledge of electrical safety frameworks (NFPA 70E) and occupational safety requirements
• Experience developing or modifying operator interface systems and supervisory control platforms
• Exposure to condition-based maintenance strategies and vibration/thermal monitoring technologies
