Injection Molding Mechatronics Maintenance Technician

Join NYX in Livonia, MI as a direct-hire team member earning $30–$35 per hour. Your mission: keep complex molding systems for automotive interior components running with precision and reliability.

Imagine your first week

You step onto the production floor, voltage detector and multimeter in hand. A molding cell flags a fault—within minutes you isolate it to a three-phase power issue, verify against the electrical schematic, and restore the line. Later, you switch gears to PMs on thermolators and dryers, update work orders, and collaborate with ops on a predictive maintenance schedule. Safety and 5S guide every move.

Your impact

• Maximize uptime by diagnosing and repairing electrical, mechanical, and pneumatic issues across molding machines and plant support systems.
• Execute preventive and predictive maintenance and meticulously document findings and completed work.
• Service and support: injection molding machines, robots, thermolators, dryers, conveyors, air compressors, vacuum pumps, building utilities, and other support equipment.
• Champion safety through strict lockout/tagout compliance; maintain 5S standards; promptly report safety concerns and injuries.
• Apply basic knowledge of TS16949 and the company’s Quality Policy to ensure consistent quality.
• Embrace additional maintenance assignments and training as directed to broaden your skill set.
