• Electro-mechanical technician candidates should be computer-minded and enjoy working with their hands. They should also have experience using electronic testing equipment and reading blueprints and schematics. It’s also essential for an electro-mechanical technician to be a critical thinker, analytical problem solver, and an organized person to maintain equipment and service records.
• Electro-mechanical technicians operate, test, maintain and calibrate electro-mechanical equipment — everything from unmanned submarines or aircraft to worksite equipment for operations like oil rigs, deep ocean exploration, or hazardous waste removal. In addition to operating and maintaining hardware, electro-mechanical technicians run tests on equipment to locate potential issues. Also, they work alongside engineers to design, test, and program robots and robotic equipment
