Industrial Mechatronics Technician, Robotics & HMI Integration

Are you the technician who can see the whole system?

Do you enjoy moving from a PLC code tweak to a servo drive diagnosis, then over to an HMI screen update—all before lunch? Can you trace a fault from a sensor through wiring to a robot controller and document the fix so it never happens again? If yes, read on.

Your Mission

Safeguard reliability and push continuous improvement across our automated operations. You’ll service, program, and enhance equipment—from Fanuc robots and PLCs to SCADA layers and industrial networks—while mentoring operators and partnering with engineers.
