Mechatronics/Mechanical Engineer

Job Summary: Design, assemble, program, and test control systems by wiring, laying out, and assembling control panels, control boards, and other electromechanical elements. The engineer will work with other Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Programmers and Technicians from a variety of backgrounds. The engineer is expected to take the lead as assigned and to work within multi-functional teams, help establish requirements, document the project, and transition projects into the hands of the internal customers. Troubleshooting of the various equipment elements (hardware and software) will be a part of the process. This is expected to be a hands-on position with time split between design, build, and operation. The equipment built will be used by Moxtek Production (internal customer). This is a non-remote position which requires the applicant to work on-site.

Essential Functions:

1. Design and generate schematics/electrical wiring diagrams for industrial control panels.
2. Build and assemble industrial control panels-mount hardware, wire, label, etc.
3. Program PLCs used in automated testing and manufacturing equipment.
4. Read and interpret specification documents for electrical components and drawings for mechanical layouts.
5. Troubleshoot/debug and test industrial control panels, whether their own design or those designed by someone else.
6. Document the completion of various elements in the equipment assembly process for others to follow and reference for years in the future.
7. Operate basic electrical and mechanical tools (grinders, drills, saws, soldering irons, microscopes, files, multi-meters, etc.).

1. Experience with 3D modeling software, creating part models and complex assemblies, preferably using Solidworks 2021 or newer.
2. Experience designing schematics using Solidworks Electrical.
3. Experience managing source code in source repositories, preferably Subversion.
4. Experience with Beckhoff PLCs.
5. Experience programming PLCs using Structured Text.
6. Experience with 6 Axis Robots (Example: Epson, Mecademic or Fanuc...ect.)
7. Experience with COGNEX Vision Systems or Equivalent.
