Job description
- Serve as an engineering escalation point for complex mechanical, electrical, controls, robotics, and system-integration issues that cannot be resolved through standard support procedures.
- Work with internal teams to diagnose faults, identify safe recovery actions, and return equipment to production as quickly as practical.
- Analyze service history, component failures, machine data, and field observations to identify product failure trends, systemic risks, and high-value reliability improvements.
- Lead structured root-cause investigations using evidence, reproducible testing, and disciplined documentation; distinguish symptoms from underlying causes.
- Develop design-change proposals when warranted, including problem definition, risk assessment, expected benefit, test plans, validation criteria, and implementation recommendations.
- Plan and execute bench, machine, and field tests; summarize results and recommend corrective or preventive actions.
- Create and maintain technical reference material, diagnostic procedures, repair guides, troubleshooting trees, service bulletins, and knowledge-base articles.
- Capture product knowledge so recurring problems can be solved faster and safely by the broader support organization.
- Participate in a rotating after-hours on-call engineering escalation schedule.
- Travel to customer facilities when hands-on engineering support is needed; travel is normally less than 15%, with greater travel possible in exceptional circumstances.
Technical Scope:
The successful engineer will be comfortable moving across disciplines and tracing interactions among:
- Mechanical assemblies, tooling, bearings, actuators, pneumatics, guarding, and wear components
- Electrical wiring, sensors, motors, drives, safety devices, control panels, and power distribution
- Industrial robots, PLC/control logic, HMIs, motion systems, machine vision, and industrial communications
- Windows IoT and LabVIEW-based applications at the system-utilization and bug-identification level; software development is not part of this role
- Service procedures, spare parts, machine configuration, maintainability, and field-repair practices
Requirements
- Approximately 3-8 years of relevant experience in sustaining engineering, product support engineering, field engineering, reliability engineering, mechatronics, industrial automation, robotics, or a closely related environment.
- A bachelor’s degree in industrial, mechanical, electrical, mechatronics, robotics, manufacturing, or a related engineering discipline-or equivalent practical experience demonstrating the required engineering judgment and breadth.
- Hands-on troubleshooting experience with integrated industrial equipment containing mechanical, electrical, controls, robotics, and computer-based subsystems.
- A disciplined approach to root-cause analysis, failure-trend analysis, test planning, verification, and evidence-based decision-making.
- Ability to read and navigate mechanical CAD models and drawings using SolidWorks or eDrawings; CAD design proficiency is helpful but not required.
- Excellent professional English communication skills, including the ability to write concise, accurate, audience-appropriate technical documentation.
- Demonstrated experience creating technical references, repair procedures, troubleshooting guides, service documentation, or knowledge-base content.
- Calm, practical judgment during urgent escalations and the ability to balance speed, safety, production impact, and long-term reliability.
- Strong collaboration skills and a small-company mindset: willing to work across functions, take ownership, share knowledge, and contribute wherever the product and team need support., * Bachelor’s (Required)
Experience:
- mechanical: 1 year (Preferred)
- engineering: 2 years (Required)
Language:
- Spanish (Preferred)
License/Certification:
- Driver’s License (Preferred)
