Automation Systems Maintenance Technician

What your shift looks like

It’s Sunday at 5:30pm and you’re the go-to tech on the floor. A conveyor photo-eye trips, an ASRS lane hesitates, and a VFD reports a fault. You quickly diagnose, repair, and return systems to service—keeping product moving and people safe. Between calls, you execute preventive maintenance, calibrate sensors, and log precise notes in the CMMS. You collaborate with teammates, vendors, and support staff, and you coach newer technicians as opportunities arise.

Impact you’ll make

• Serve as a first responder for equipment issues across automated material handling and facility systems
• Troubleshoot and repair electrical and mechanical equipment up to 480V
• Maintain motors, VFDs, sensors, gearboxes, bearings, and pneumatic components
• Diagnose conveyor, sortation, ASRS, and packaging equipment to resolve jams, sensor faults, and minor electrical/pneumatic failures
• Perform preventive maintenance, system calibrations, and basic PLC/HMI diagnostics using electrical schematics
• Document work orders, parts, and actions in the CMMS and support continuous improvement and root-cause analysis
• Partner with cross-functional teams and provide guidance to junior technicians

What you bring

• High school diploma or equivalent; technical training preferred
• 2+ years of industrial maintenance experience
• Hands-on skill with mechanical and electrical troubleshooting
• Working knowledge of pneumatics and conveyor systems
• Ability to read schematics and perform basic PLC/HMI troubleshooting
• Familiarity with CMMS systems
• Clear communication, problem-solving mindset, and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment

Physical demands

• Stand and walk for the duration of a shift
• Climb, balance, kneel, crouch, or crawl for extended periods
• Reach, pull, push, and lift items up to 50 pounds
• Safely operate warehouse equipment such as pallet jacks, box cutters, and carts
