Electromechanical Technologist

About the Role

You will be responsible for the assembly, wiring and plumbing on electromechanical systems. Systems include vacuum, power generation, pulse forming section and oil system. You must be able to read mechanical and electrical drawings to be able to assemble, field and troubleshoot these complex systems.

Job Requirements

• Assemble racks, HV/LV harnesses, enclosures, panels, and motion/actuation subsystems.
• Install pumps, valves, seals, gauges; leak-check and maintain oil and vacuum systems.
• Mount sensors, route signal cabling, and bring up data acquisition system (DAS)-oscilloscopes, probes, DMMs, and troubleshoot connection issues.
• Read schematics and harness drawings; crimp/terminate to specification; label, route and document work.
• Run electrical checkouts, resolve system noise, troubleshoot high voltage (HV) systems, and restore electromechanical systems to operational status.
• Preventive/corrective maintenance, spares, calibration, and readiness of tools and materials. Responsible for calibration of oscilloscopes, power supplies, etc.- Execute HV/LOTO, ESD, rigging, and lift plans, proper use of PPE; maintain clear and concise safety records.
• Capture build notes, monitor/maintain electromechanical systems, and feed improvements back to engineering.

Minimum Requirements

• 3-7+ years experience building and integrating complex electromechanical systems (emphasis in pulsed power).
• Mastery of hand tools and metrology; expertise in electrical wiring and safety.
• Experience working with high voltage/high current systems and precision timing of operations.
• Ability to read mechanical design drawings and electrical/wiring diagrams and can provide improvement feedback to design teams.
• Enhanced knowledge and operation of oscilloscopes, HV probes, leak detectors, electrical testers; working knowledge of ESD mitigation is required.
• Clear and concise communication with operations crew and engineering team; ability to concisely document technical data and decisions.

Desired Skills

• Pulsed-power familiarity, ability to solder and build cables
• Cleanliness/contamination control experience.
• Machining/rapid-fab familiarity; basic CAD or ECAD experience.
• Forklift/overhead crane, rigging, and safe lifting certs.
