Electronics Tech II

The Electronics Technician is responsible for maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing electrical systems, control circuits, motors, and automation equipment. This role ensures safe and reliable operation of manufacturing equipment by applying advanced knowledge of electrical wiring, controls, and instrumentation.

 

Key Responsibilities

• Install, wire, and maintain motors, drives (VFD/servo), and electrical components.
• Perform troubleshooting on DC, single-phase, and three-phase wiring systems.
• Size and install breakers, fuses, wires, and transformers according to specifications.
• Configure and maintain safety circuits, safety modules, and protective devices.
• Install, calibrate, and troubleshoot control systems (0–10 VDC, 4–20 mA, PNP/NPN).
• Identify and replace motors and components, ensuring compatibility.
• Perform insulation and phase-to-phase testing (including megger testing).
• Program and maintain PLCs, HMIs, and industrial networks (Ethernet communications, SAP integration, etc.).
• Document wiring changes, maintain schematics, and update records.
• Support production teams with troubleshooting to minimize downtime.

Core Skills / Competencies

• Motor wiring (DC, single-phase, three-phase) and replacement.
• Circuit protection (fusing, breaker, overload sizing).
• Control wiring (analog/digital signals, safety circuits).
• Electrical diagnostics (multimeter, megger, oscilloscope use).
• Networking skills (Ethernet cabling, network troubleshooting).
• Software knowledge (Microsoft Office, Paint, SAP).
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and diagrams.

Preferred Experience

• 0-5+ years in industrial electrical maintenance or equivalent training.
• Experience with PLC/HMI programming and troubleshooting.
• Strong understanding of electrical codes and industrial safety standards.
• Ability to work independently and within a cross-functional team.
