• Perform hands-on preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, inspection, and repairs on mechanical and electrical components of robotic welding equipment

• Teach, onboard, and mentor new Fleet Techs on standardized PM procedures and best practices

• Serve as the primary liaison between the field and Engineering by submitting well-supported Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and partnering on hardware improvements

• Record, analyze, and track PM maintenance data to identify trends, mitigate cell risks, and inform engineering-driven issue resolution

• Communicate PM status, schedule changes, and technical risks clearly to fleet leadership, technicians, and engineering stakeholders

• Collaborate with engineering to continuously refine, update, and improve PM procedures and documentation

Who You Are

• Hands-On Technical Expertise: Mechanically and electrically inclined, with experience maintaining or repairing industrial, robotic, or automation equipment

• Organized Program Owner: Strong organizational skills with the ability to build, track, and prioritize recurring schedules across multiple sites and technicians
