Electro-mechanical and Mechatronics Technologists and Technicians

Electro-mechanical and Mechatronics Technologists and Technicians typically perform the following tasks: • Test performance of electromechanical assemblies, using test instruments such as oscilloscopes, electronic voltmeters, or bridges. • Install or program computer hardware or machine or instrumentation software in microprocessor-based systems. • Read blueprints, schematics, diagrams, or technical orders to determine methods and sequences of assembly. • Modify, maintain, or repair electrical, electronic, or mechanical components, equipment, or systems to ensure proper functioning. • Inspect parts for surface defects. • Install electrical or electronic parts and hardware in housings or assemblies, using soldering equipment and hand tools. • Verify part dimensions or clearances to ensure conformance to specifications, using precision measuring instruments. • Fabricate or assemble mechanical, electrical, or electronic components or assemblies. • Align, fit, or assemble component parts, using hand or power tools, fixtures, templates, or microscopes. • Produce electrical, electronic, or mechanical drawings or other related documents or graphics necessary for electromechanical design, using computer-aided design (CAD) software. • Select electromechanical equipment, materials, components, or systems to meet functional specifications. • Establish and maintain inventory, records, or documentation systems. • Develop, test, or program new robots. • Prepare written documentation of electromechanical test results. • Repair, rework, or calibrate hydraulic or pneumatic assemblies or systems to meet operational specifications or tolerances. • Select and use laboratory, operational, or diagnostic techniques or test equipment to assess electromechanical circuits, equipment, processes, systems, or subsystems. • 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. • Determine whether selected electromechanical components comply with environmental standards and regulations. • Develop or implement programs related to the environmental impact of engineering activities. • Train others to install, use, or maintain robots.
