• CNC controllers, HMIs, PLCs, servo drives, VFDs, and power supplies
• Diagnose faults in servo motors, encoders, feedback devices, limit switches, safety circuits, and I/O
• Read and interpret electrical schematics, ladder logic, wiring diagrams, and control panel layouts
• Perform electrical testing using multimeters, megohmmeters, and diagnostic software
• Support and troubleshoot CNC control platforms (Fanuc, Siemens, Haas, Mazak, Okuma, or similar)
• Interface with PLC-based systems (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or equivalent) for troubleshooting—not programming-heavy, but logic-aware
• Troubleshoot industrial networks and communication issues (Ethernet/IP, Profinet, RS-232/485, device buses)
• Perform control cabinet work: wiring, terminations, component replacement, and minor panel modifications
• Support machine startups, retrofits, electrical upgrades, and commissioning activities
• Collaborate with engineering and production to identify root cause failures and implement permanent fixes
• Maintain accurate documentation of repairs, changes, and parts usage in CMMS or maintenance logs
• Ensure compliance with electrical safety, LOTO, and arc-flash procedures

• Proven ability to troubleshoot electrically driven machine faults under production pressure
• Ability to read and work from electrical schematics and control drawings

Preferred Qualifications

• PLC troubleshooting experience (Allen-Bradley Compact/ControlLogix, Siemens S7, or similar)
• Experience with safety circuits, safety relays, and CNC safety standards
• Familiarity with CMMS systems, preventive maintenance planning, and reliability improvement
• Technical degree or formal training in Electrical, Controls, Mechatronics, or Industrial Automation

Work Environment & Physical Requirements

• Industrial manufacturing / CNC shop environment
• Ability to work inside energized control panels when required (following safety procedures)
• Ability to lift up to ~50 lbs and work around active machinery
• Willingness to support off-shift, weekend, or on-call maintenance as needed

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation based on electrical and controls expertise
• Modern CNC equipment and control systems
