• Diagnose and resolve complex electrical issues involving motors, sensors, and automation systems
• Program, debug, and modify Allen Bradley PLCs (primarily ladder logic)
• Maintain safety standards and implement best practices across electrical systems
• Support continuous improvement and preventative maintenance projects
• Strong background in electrical troubleshooting in industrial settings
• Hands‑on experience with PLCs—especially Allen Bradley and ladder logic
• Familiarity with safety protocols and electrical compliance requirements
• Comfortable working around high‑volume equipment with motors and sensors
• Willingness to learn robotic systems and vision tools

Nice to Have (or Willing to Train)

• Experience with Universal Robots or collaborative robotics platforms
• Exposure to Cognex or Mech‑Mind machine vision systems
