Bowdon, GA, USA

Post-secondary education in electronics, manufacturing, engineering, or mechatronics (or equivalent experience)
What you will do
Assemble and wire industrial equipment and subassemblies using build documents, drawings, and checklists
Install mechanical and electromechanical components (hardware, guards, mounts, sensors, motors/actuators, cable management, enclosures)
Interpret mechanical drawings and electrical schematics as needed
Load approved programs and configurations to PLCs and HMIs
Platforms include Allen-Bradley and Siemens
No PLC programming from scratch required (this role is focused is loading and validation)
Validate operation and integration
Verify machine I/O to the PLC (point-to-point checks, sensor/actuator verification)
Verify machine functionality
Confirm safety devices/interlocks and HMI functionality
Run functional checks using validation checklists
Troubleshoot build/integration issues (fit, wiring, sensors, setup) and QA testing
Document builds, settings, and validation results; communicate status/issues clearly to engineers and project managers
Maintain a clean, organized work area and take care of tools and equipment
Follow ISO quality principles during assembly and final verification
Perform occasional soldering and light electrical assembly tasks as needed
What we’re looking for (required)
1+ year experience in electromechanical/mechatronics assembly, integration, installation, maintenance, commissioning, or similar
Strong mechanical aptitude; comfortable using hand tools and power tools
Comfortable working with PLC-controlled equipment (loading programs/configs, basic diagnostics, and validation)
Able to stay organized, follow checklists, and work independently after training
Basic Windows skills (documentation, spreadsheets, file management)
Clear communication and teamwork mindset
Nice to have
Experience with Allen-Bradley and/or Siemens PLC/HMI workflows (upload/download, parameter setup, basic diagnostics)
