Controls Technician

Robotics & Automation

• Program, modify, and optimize industrial robot systems (e.g., FANUC, ABB, Yaskawa/Motoman, or similar) for welding, material handling, and automated processes.
• Diagnose robotic faults, perform path adjustments, and ensure repeatable, high‑quality operation within automated cells.
• Support integration of new robotic systems, end‑of‑arm tooling, and automation components into production equipment.

Controls & Electrical Support

• Troubleshoot control system issues, including PLCs, HMIs, safety circuits, sensors, and wiring.
• Assist with commissioning of new automation systems, including I/O setup, electrical testing, and system validation.
• Collaborate with Controls Engineers on system upgrades and modifications.

Mechanical & Welding Knowledge

• Apply mechanical engineering principles to ensure proper function, alignment, and performance of automated tooling and fixtures.
• Support robotic welding applications-understanding weld sequencing, torch angles, wire feed, and weld parameters is a major plus.
• Participate in root cause analysis for weld quality issues, robotic performance, and equipment reliability.

On-the-Fly Troubleshooting & Support

• Respond quickly to machine/robot alarms and production stoppages.
• Support preventive and corrective maintenance activities for robotic cells and automation equipment.
• Work closely with engineering, fabrication, and project teams to ensure deadlines and quality standards are met.
