  • Ability to troubleshoot industrial networks, EtherNet/IP, device communication, I/O modules, sensors, actuators, and field devices.
  • Understanding of electrical schematics, control panels, safety circuits, motor controls, and automation hardware.
  • Experience supporting production downtime, root cause analysis, and corrective actions.
  • Knowledge of quality systems, inspection processes, defect tracking, and manufacturing data collection.
  • Ability to work with cross-functional teams, including maintenance, production, quality, engineering, and IT.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work in a fast-paced production environment.
  • Associate degree, technical diploma, bachelor’s degree, or equivalent hands-on experience in Electrical Engineering, Automation, Mechatronics, Industrial Controls, or a related field preferred.
