Senior Mechatronics Maintenance Specialist

ATS - Industrial Maintenance
Chicago, IL

Are you the troubleshooter everyone calls when the line stops?

Do you thrive on diagnosing complex control systems? Do you use vibration analysis, infrared thermography, and power quality tools to predict failures before they happen? If you’re nodding yes, you’ll feel right at home leading advanced industrial maintenance while elevating reliability across our operations.

Your impact

  • Take ownership of break‑fix and preventive maintenance on mechanical and electrical assets—and design system upgrades and improvements informed by your specialty.
  • Program, debug, and resolve issues in sophisticated control systems, addressing software, hardware, and configuration challenges that affect production throughput.
  • Leverage predictive diagnostics—ultrasonic testing, IR scans, power quality analysis, laser interferometry, ball bar assessments, and vibration analysis—to assess equipment health and act proactively.
  • Drive CI events using proven tools and methods; capture processes, results, and cost savings from your improvement work.
  • Locate and procure parts and supplies; recommend alternative components and engineered solutions that extend MTBF and reduce downtime.
  • Operate independently to industry standards, sustaining 5S and strong housekeeping across your areas.
  • Run machining operations (lathe, drill press, grinder, and related metalworking equipment) to fabricate or repair parts; weld when necessary.
  • Research and evaluate innovative maintenance methods and tools for application across ATS sites; update documentation to reflect best practices.
  • Contribute to financial decisions by preparing inputs for cost analyses on new equipment, rebuilds/repairs, savings, and innovations.
  • Keep precise records; mine CMMS history to spot trends and inform strategy.
  • Prepare technical content for sales quotations and support T&M activities as required.
  • Mentor less experienced technicians and step into project management roles when assigned.
  • Advance your skills through OJT and self-study; consistently follow safety policies and demonstrate situational awareness, correcting unsafe acts and conditions.

What you’ll need to succeed

  • High school diploma or GED.
  • Associate degree (technical) plus 7+ years related industry experience; or 10+ years of direct industry experience.
  • Demonstrated skill with predictive technologies such as vibration analysis or laser interferometer operation; precision alignment; and maintenance of process equipment.
  • Fluency across electrical, mechanical, fluid power, and control systems—able to diagnose issues, craft options, and execute repairs.
  • Proficiency with hand and specialized tools; willingness to travel if needed.
  • Six Sigma background is a plus.

Core technical areas

  • Mechanical troubleshooting
  • 120/208/240/480 VAC systems
  • Electrical troubleshooting and repair
  • Pneumatic system diagnostics
  • General maintenance and multi-craft repair skills
  • Hydraulics: systems and components
  • Equipment diagnostics and troubleshooting
  • Mechanical systems and component repair

Physical requirements and environment

In this role you’ll frequently stand and walk; use hands and fingers; reach; climb and balance using ladders or lifts; and bend, kneel, crouch, or crawl in tight spaces. Talking and hearing are routine; sitting occurs occasionally. You’ll occasionally lift and move items over 50 lbs. Regularly required: close and color vision. Expect occasional exposure to outdoor weather and risk of electrical shock. Work is in a factory environment that is typically very loud, with potential exposure to hazardous materials and greasy or slippery floors.
