Program and troubleshoot industrial robots using teach pendants and applicable programming software.
Support filling, capping, labeling, sealing, packaging, and conveyor systems throughout the facility.
Respond to equipment breakdowns and identify mechanical, electrical, programming, or process-related causes.
Diagnose recurring equipment failures and implement long-term corrective actions.
Integrate new equipment, robots, sensors, vision systems, conveyors, and controls into existing production processes.
Improve equipment cycle times, reliability, product changeovers, quality, and overall production efficiency.
Develop automation solutions that reduce manual labor, improve consistency, and support employee safety.
Create and maintain PLC programs, electrical schematics, equipment documentation, backups, manuals, and troubleshooting guides.
Assist with equipment installation, commissioning, validation, and production startup.
Partner with Maintenance to develop preventive and predictive maintenance plans for automated equipment.
Train maintenance technicians, setup technicians, equipment operators, and production leaders on equipment operation and basic troubleshooting.
Support root-cause investigations related to downtime, quality defects, process failures, and safety concerns.
Ensure equipment modifications comply with safety standards, guarding requirements, and lockout/tagout procedures.
Coordinate with equipment manufacturers, integrators, contractors, and vendors when outside technical support is required.
Identify automation opportunities based on safety, quality, cost, labor, and production needs.
Provide hands-on support on the manufacturing floor and assist with urgent equipment issues as needed.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Robotics Engineering, Automation Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field preferred.
Hands-on experience supporting automation, robotics, or manufacturing equipment in an industrial environment.
Experience programming and troubleshooting PLC platforms.
Experience with industrial robots preferred.
Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, ladder logic, equipment manuals, and technical specifications.
Experience troubleshooting both electrical and mechanical equipment problems.
Knowledge of machine safety, guarding, emergency-stop systems, and lockout/tagout procedures.
Strong root-cause analysis, problem-solving, and project-management skills.
Ability to document technical work and explain equipment issues to employees with different levels of technical knowledge.
Ability to work independently, take ownership of projects, and respond calmly to urgent production needs.
Experience in personal care, cosmetics, food, pharmaceutical, chemical, or another regulated manufacturing environment is a plus.

Physical and Work Requirements

Ability to work primarily onsite in a manufacturing environment.
Ability to stand, walk, bend, reach, and work around production equipment for extended periods.
Ability to safely use hand tools, diagnostic equipment, and electrical testing devices.
Ability to work inside electrical panels and around moving equipment while following applicable safety and lockout/tagout requirements.
Willingness to provide support outside normal business hours when necessary for equipment installation, production startup, or emergency troubleshooting.
Ability to travel between Merit facilities and occasionally travel to vendor or equipment-manufacturer locations as needed.
