Industrial Maintenance Technologist -- Automation & CNC

Step into a day on our Day Shift

You arrive just before 5:00am, grab the overnight handoff, and by 5:00am the line is waking up. From Monday through Thursday, you work a 4x10 schedule (5:00am–3:30pm) focused on keeping production in Canton, Ohio running smoothly and safely.

What your day looks like

• Kick off with preventive checks on conveyors, CNC equipment, and robotic cells—cleaning, lubricating, and inspecting critical components.
• Diagnose issues the moment they surface—electro-mechanical troubleshooting, from 120/208/240/480V systems to sensors, drives, and controls.
• Program and fine-tune PLCs; verify I/O, adjust logic, and get machines back on spec.
• Read and interpret schematics, P&IDs, and blueprints; fabricate or modify parts when needed to keep uptime high.
• Repair or replace worn mechanical and electrical components: bearings, gearboxes, motors, transformers, wiring, valves, and regulators.
• Maintain hydraulic and pneumatic circuits—layout, assemble, and service pipe systems; replace gauges, valves, and pressure regulators.
• Partner with Production Supervisors and Machine Operators—coach operators on troubleshooting techniques and safe best practices.
• Document work requests, track OEE-related observations, and support preventive and predictive maintenance initiatives that drive continuous improvement at AmbaFlex Manufacturing.

• Perform routine and preventive maintenance on manufacturing assets.
• Troubleshoot automated and robotic systems; install, program, and repair robots and programmable controllers.
• Visually inspect and test machinery; dismantle, repair, and reinstall equipment and parts.
