Electro-Mechanical Technicians

Tasks

Core Tasks Include:

• Test performance of electromechanical assemblies, using test instruments such as oscilloscopes, electronic voltmeters, or bridges.
• Read blueprints, schematics, diagrams, or technical orders to determine methods and sequences of assembly.
• Install electrical or electronic parts and hardware in housings or assemblies, using soldering equipment and hand tools.
• Align, fit, or assemble component parts, using hand or power tools, fixtures, templates, or microscopes.
• Inspect parts for surface defects.
• Analyze and record test results, and prepare written testing documentation.
• Verify part dimensions or clearances to ensure conformance to specifications, using precision measuring instruments.

Supplemental Tasks Include:

• Operate metalworking machines to fabricate housings, jigs, fittings, or fixtures.
• Repair, rework, or calibrate hydraulic or pneumatic assemblies or systems to meet operational specifications or tolerances.
• Train others to install, use, or maintain robots.
• Develop, test, or program new robots.

Tasks Include:

• Operate, test, or maintain robotic equipment used for green production applications, such as waste-to-energy conversion systems, minimization of material waste, or replacement of human operators in dangerous work environments.
