Requirements

Systematic troubleshooting and safe decision-making under production pressure.
Interpretation of schematics, wiring diagrams, CAD drawings, technical specifications, PLC/controls information, and validation protocols.
OEE and reliability analysis using Availability, Performance, Quality, uptime, downtime, MTBF, MTTR, cycle time, first-pass yield, and maintenance data.
CMMS proficiency, technical writing, documentation discipline, and change-control execution.
Clear cross-functional communication with Manufacturing, Quality, R&D, Validation, EHS, Facilities, IT/OT, technicians, and suppliers.
Ability to balance immediate production recovery with sustainable corrective action and long-term asset strategy.
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, Manufacturing, Controls, Biomedical Engineering, or a related technical discipline; equivalent relevant experience may be considered in accordance with company requirements.
Minimum 2+ years of relevant equipment, automation, maintenance, manufacturing, or test engineering experience in medical device, robotics, life sciences, semiconductor, aerospace, or another regulated environment.
Hands-on experience with electromechanical equipment, automated test systems, robotics, controls, instrumentation, pneumatics, sensors, calibration, or custom fixtures.
Working knowledge of GMP, design controls, controlled documentation, change control, deviation/nonconformance processes, and equipment qualification concepts.
Experience using equipment data, downtime history, yield or first-pass results, and maintenance records to identify OEE losses and improvement opportunities.

Responsibilities

Own assigned manufacturing and test equipment through specification, selection, design review, FAT/SAT, installation, commissioning, qualification, release, maintenance, modification, and retirement.
Execute or support URS/FRS, risk assessments, engineering drawings, maintenance strategies, spare-parts plans, calibration requirements, work instructions, change records, and validation protocols/reports.
Troubleshoot electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, robotic, controls, software-interface, and computer-related equipment failures while protecting personnel, product, data integrity, and the validated state.
Monitor equipment Availability and uptime; analyze downtime events, MTBF, MTTR, work-order history, repeat failures, and response effectiveness; implement corrective and preventive actions.
Analyze equipment Performance losses such as slow cycles, micro-stops, jams, intermittent faults, and reduced operating rate; confirm baseline and ideal-cycle assumptions before declaring improvement.
Analyze equipment Quality losses, including equipment-related defects, rework, false failures, measurement-system issues, and calibration drift; partner with Quality and Process Engineering on containment and root cause.
Use structured problem solving such as 5 Whys, fault-tree analysis, fishbone, FMEA, and data trending to eliminate repeat failures and verify effectiveness.
Create accurate CMMS work orders and asset records; use maintenance history to optimize PM tasks, frequencies, spare parts, and equipment readiness.
Coordinate suppliers and technicians, support audits and inspections, and train users on safe and compliant equipment operation.
