Mechatronics Technician

Company Background

Taymer International Inc. designs and builds industrial machine vision systems, length marking/printing machines, and measuring devices used in wire & cable, medical, and aerospace manufacturing. With operations across North America, Europe, China, South America, and India, you’ll work hands-on in our Bowdon shop with support from a highly experienced international team.

Why this role is different

This is not a repetitive assembly line. You will take machines from their individual components to finished systems. This includes mechanical build, electrical integration, PLC/HMI configuration, and validating functionality before shipping equipment that our customers use every day.

• Variety of builds (not one station all day)
• Work directly with engineering and project leads
• Develop real automation-adjacent skills: sensors, I/O validation, PLC/HMI workflows, troubleshooting
• Clear growth path for motivated employees (Lead Builder, Integration Specialist, Service/Commissioning Engineer)

Location

• Bowdon, GA, USA
• Commute/Relocation: Must be able to reliably commute to Bowdon, GA (or relocate prior to start date if needed)

Education Requirements

• Post-secondary education in electronics, manufacturing, engineering, or mechatronics (or equivalent experience)

What you will do

• Assemble and wire industrial equipment and subassemblies using build documents, drawings, and checklists
• Install mechanical and electromechanical components (hardware, guards, mounts, sensors, motors/actuators, cable management, enclosures)
• Interpret mechanical drawings and electrical schematics as needed
• Load approved programs and configurations to PLCs and HMIs
  • Platforms include Allen-Bradley and Siemens
  • No PLC programming from scratch required (this role is focused is loading and validation)
• Validate operation and integration
  • Verify machine I/O to the PLC (point-to-point checks, sensor/actuator verification)
  • Verify machine functionality
  • Confirm safety devices/interlocks and HMI functionality
  • Run functional checks using validation checklists
• Troubleshoot build/integration issues (fit, wiring, sensors, setup) and QA testing
• Document builds, settings, and validation results; communicate status/issues clearly to engineers and project managers
• Maintain a clean, organized work area and take care of tools and equipment
• Follow ISO quality principles during assembly and final verification
• Perform occasional soldering and light electrical assembly tasks as needed

What we’re looking for (required)

• 1+ year experience in electromechanical/mechatronics assembly, integration, installation, maintenance, commissioning, or similar
• Strong mechanical aptitude; comfortable using hand tools and power tools
• Comfortable working with PLC-controlled equipment (loading programs/configs, basic diagnostics, and validation)
• Able to stay organized, follow checklists, and work independently after training
• Basic Windows skills (documentation, spreadsheets, file management)
• Clear communication and teamwork mindset

Nice to have

• Experience with Allen-Bradley and/or Siemens PLC/HMI workflows (upload/download, parameter setup, basic diagnostics)
• Machining experience; drill press/mill/lathe familiarity; light fabrication or rework
• QC/inspection or inventory experience

What We Can Offer You

• Flexible work hours
• Competitive pay based on experience
• Medical benefits
• Retirement benefits
• Collaborative culture with teammates who push each other to improve
• Yearly trips to Canada for training, business planning, technical improvement meetings, and team events
