Core Skills & Abilities

  • Produce electrical, electronic, or mechanical drawings or other related documents or graphics necessary for electromechanical design, using computer-aided design (CAD) software.

  • Fabricate or assemble mechanical, electrical, or electronic components or assemblies.

  • Develop, test, or program new robots.

  • Identify energy-conserving production or fabrication methods, such as by bending metal rather than cutting and welding or casting metal.

  • Analyze engineering designs of logic or digital circuitry, motor controls, instrumentation, or data acquisition for implementation into new or existing automated, servomechanical, or other electromechanical systems.

  • Establish and maintain inventory, records, or documentation systems.

  • Determine whether selected electromechanical components comply with environmental standards and regulations.

  • Test performance of electromechanical assemblies, using test instruments such as oscilloscopes, electronic voltmeters, or bridges.

  • Install electrical or electronic parts and hardware in housings or assemblies, using soldering equipment and hand tools.

  • Train others to install, use, or maintain robots.

  • 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.

  • Verify part dimensions or clearances to ensure conformance to specifications, using precision measuring instruments.

  • Develop or implement programs related to the environmental impact of engineering activities.

  • Specify, coordinate, or conduct quality-control or quality-assurance programs and procedures.

  • Align, fit, or assemble component parts, using hand or power tools, fixtures, templates, or microscopes.

  • Select and use laboratory, operational, or diagnostic techniques or test equipment to assess electromechanical circuits, equipment, processes, systems, or subsystems.

  • Inspect parts for surface defects.

  • Consult with machinists to ensure that electromechanical equipment or systems meet design specifications.

  • Read blueprints, schematics, diagrams, or technical orders to determine methods and sequences of assembly.

  • Install or program computer hardware or machine or instrumentation software in microprocessor-based systems.

  • Prepare written documentation of electromechanical test results.

  • Repair, rework, or calibrate hydraulic or pneumatic assemblies or systems to meet operational specifications or tolerances.

  • Modify, maintain, or repair electrical, electronic, or mechanical components, equipment, or systems to ensure proper functioning.

  • Operate metalworking machines to fabricate housings, jigs, fittings, or fixtures.

  • Translate electromechanical drawings into design specifications, applying principles of engineering, thermal or fluid sciences, mathematics, or statistics.

  • Assist engineers to implement electromechanical designs in industrial or other settings.

  • Select electromechanical equipment, materials, components, or systems to meet functional specifications.
