JOB SUMMARY:
The individual in this position will primarily be responsible for low voltage panel test support as well as the associated new product introduction activities under the direction of more senior staff in addition to providing test support for other Rockwell Automation products as required.
Supports engineering activities such as design, test, modification, fabrication, assembly, installation, and troubleshooting of electromechanical systems. Works from schematics, diagrams, written and verbal descriptions, layouts or defined plans to perform test system commissioning and trouble-shooting functions. Assists in developing cost effective test methods and establishing best practices.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
- Developing, performing, or guiding the testing process correctly and consistently. Based on the design requirements, develop plans to test completed assemblies.Manage and communicate project financials, timelines, and action plans effectively to deliver cost effective test solutions on schedule and within budget.
- Lead or participate in projects that will enable the plants to meet annual productivity goals and reduce/eliminate safety and ergonomic risk in the manufacturing work environment. Lead or participate in the procurement, installation and validation activities with test equipment targeted for the manufacturing production.
- Assist with scheduling/performing timely preventative maintenance for all test equipment. Provide guidance with calibration schedules and/or requirements for test instrumentation. Responsible for identifying/maintaining spare parts inventory.
- Responsible for designing electrical systems, properly sizing components, and working with outside vendors. With guidance from a more senior engineer, select proper PLC components and test instrumentation based on product test requirements to deliver safe and reliable test solutions.
- Understand, create, and release documentation on all aspects of the test solution.
