  • Experience in high-volume automated operations, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, or industrial automation environments is strongly preferred.
  • Hands-on technical knowledge of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), preferably Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or similar platforms, and the ability to support controls-level troubleshooting and issue escalation.
  • Working knowledge of robotics platforms, preferably ABB; automated material-handling systems; conveyors; sensors; servo drives; variable-frequency drives (VFDs); human-machine interfaces (HMIs); large industrial Ethernet networks; and electro-mechanical troubleshooting.
  • Ability to work with technical software tools and operating environments such as SQL, Linux, Python, dashboards, system monitoring tools, diagnostic applications, or warehouse execution systems.
  • Ability to interpret electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, wiring diagrams, system alarms, diagnostic screens, and equipment documentation to support root-cause analysis and corrective action.
  • Ability to troubleshoot under pressure, prioritize production-impacting issues, and manage shifting operational needs.
  • Ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Bilingual Spanish and English skills are required; business English fluency is preferred for communication with U.S.-based teams and technical support groups.
