Job details

Position Overview APEX is currently accepting applications for an Electro-Mechanical Technician to join our Product Development and Automation Group. This is a full-time position reporting to the Lead-Hand / Operations Manager. This role is responsible for the integrated assembly, wiring, and installation of electro-mechanical systems used in optical coating machines. The Electro-Mechanical Technician bridges mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic disciplines, supporting full system builds from subassembly through final integration, testing, and commissioning support. Responsibilities 1. Electro-Mechanical Assembly Assemble electro-mechanical subsystems including motion assemblies, actuators, sensors, and mounted electrical hardware. Install motors, encoders, limit switches, heaters, and instrumentation onto mechanical structures and vacuum equipment. Ensure proper fit, alignment, and serviceability of integrated assemblies. 2. Electrical Wiring & Interconnect Install, route, and terminate power, control, and signal wiring in accordance with electrical schematics and wiring diagrams. Perform cable routing, labeling, strain relief, grounding, and cable management to quality standards. Support control cabinet wiring and system interconnect between cabinets and field devices. 3. Pneumatic & Fluid System Assembly Install pneumatic components such as valves, regulators, gauges, flow devices, and actuators. Route, cut, label, and connect pneumatic tubing and hoses per diagrams and best practices. Support leak checking, pressure testing, and troubleshooting of pneumatic systems. 4. Mechanical Assembly & Integration Assemble mechanical structures, frames, brackets, vacuum hardware, and mounting systems as required to support electrical and pneumatic installations. Perform basic alignment to ensure proper operation of motion and process equipment. Coordinate mechanical and electrical work to avoid interference and ensure clean system integration. 5. System Testing & Troubleshooting Support system-level testing include continuity checks, I/O verification, motion checkout, and basic functional testing. Troubleshoot electro-mechanical issues identified during build and commissioning. Work with engineering and commissioning teams to resolve integration challenges. 6. Documentation & Continuous Improvement Follow engineering drawings, schematics, BOMs, and work instructions accurately. Provide feedback on design improvements, assembly challenges, and documentation updates. Assist in maintaining accurate as-built documentation. Adhere to electrical safety practices, lockout/tagout procedures, and mechanical safety requirements. Follow vacuum cleanliness, ESD, and general shop safety standards. 7. Collaboration & Teamwork Work closely with mechanical assemblers, electrical technicians, engineers, and commissioning staff. Support cross-functional integration efforts to meet project schedules and quality goals. Contribute to a team-oriented culture focused on accountability, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement. Requirements Diploma in Mechanical/Electrical Engineering Technology or equivalent work experience in industrial automation or manufacturing environments. Computer experience with Windows based applications. Previous experience using oscilloscopes and multi-meters. Previous experience soldering electrical connections Experience using mechanical measurement equipment including calipers, depth gauges, dial indicators. Capable of reading electrical schematics, pneumatic process diagrams and mechanical assembly drawings. Strong trouble shooting & diagnostic capabilities Attention to detail, and the ability to work across multiple technical domains. The ability and willingness to work independently and as part of a larger team. Experience operating a forklift is not required but would be an asset
