Join EMAG and Power What’s Next
At EMAG, people make the difference. We invest in your growth through international project exposure, tailored development opportunities, and a benefits package that includes a strong 401k match and a $0 employee premium for medical, dental, and vision coverage.
A Day in the Life
You start by reviewing electrical schematics and wiring diagrams for a new machine tool build. Before lunch, you’re on the floor validating I/O, tuning servos, and verifying safety circuits. In the afternoon, you collaborate with controls and electrical engineering to finalize communication interfaces, then sync with a customer and third-party integrator to align on interface requirements. You wrap up by documenting programming updates, capturing test records, and preparing operator training notes for tomorrow’s run-off.
What You’ll Tackle
- Own electrical commissioning, startup, testing, troubleshooting, and operational verification for EMAG machine tools, CNC systems, and automation cells—at EMAG facilities and customer sites.
- Program, configure, and validate control components, peripheral devices, communication networks, and automation functions to meet customer specifications.
- Coordinate directly with customers, system integrators, equipment suppliers, and vendors to define interfaces, resolve issues, and integrate auxiliary systems.
- Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, engineering drawings, and technical documentation.
- Execute wiring checks, I/O verification, machine testing, and functional validation; assist with safety circuit testing and servo tuning.
- Troubleshoot electrical, PLC, CNC, servo, HMI, communication, and automation issues to root cause.
- Verify system performance against engineering specifications and customer expectations; support customer acceptance.
- Capture detailed commissioning documentation, test records, service reports, and customer sign-off.
- Deliver operator and maintenance training focused on electrical systems and safe operation.
- Champion safety, including lockout/tagout, electrical standards, and customer site policies; keep work areas orderly and safe.
- Drive continuous improvement in startup methods, troubleshooting processes, and operational efficiency.
- Travel domestically and internationally as project needs require; perform additional duties and special projects as assigned.
