About the role

Mission: To be the world’s leading manufacturer of trading card games and collectibles.

Location: Based in North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park and Piedmont Triad regions.

Team: Dedicated team building a world-class operation known for exceptional quality, customer focus, and market agility.

Responsibilities

• Troubleshoot, repair, and maintain electrical control systems including motors, VFDs, servo drives, relays, switches, transformers, and circuit breaker panels.
• Work with PLCs (ladder logic a plus), HMIs, and automated control systems.
• Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical blueprints.
• Install, wire, and calibrate electrical components to manufacturer specifications.
• Maintain and troubleshoot sensor systems including proximity sensors, photoelectric sensors, encoders, and tension control sensors.
• Diagnose and repair precision alignment, calibration, and material handling systems.
• Perform preventive and predictive maintenance on press machines.
• Troubleshoot and repair mechanical components including pumps, cylinders, bearings, drive systems, and material feed mechanisms.
• Maintain pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
• Quickly diagnose root causes of equipment failures using systematic troubleshooting methods.
• Use technical manuals, diagnostic tools, and manufacturer resources to solve complex problems.
• Identify opportunities for equipment improvements and reliability enhancements.
• Document all maintenance activities, track repairs, and manage work orders using the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).
• Communicate effectively with operators, management, and external vendors about equipment status, issues, and resolution timelines.
• Cook up with cross-functional teams to minimize downtime.
• Follow all safety protocols including lockout/tagout procedures, confined space entry, and PPE requirements.
• Adhere to OSHA standards and maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment.
• Handle materials and chemicals safely according to established SOPs.

Requirements

• Technical training or certification in industrial maintenance, electrical systems, mechatronics or HVAC (background) preferred.
• Minimum 5 years of hands-on maintenance experience with a deep electrical background in manufacturing, industrial, or production environments.
• Strong electrical troubleshooting skills with motors, drives, controls, and power distribution systems.
• Hands-on experience with sensors (proximity, photoelectric, encoders, pressure, temperature).
• Experience with pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
• Familiarity with PLCs, VFDs, servo systems, and industrial controls is highly desirable.
• Deep troubleshooting expertise: Ability to diagnose root causes, not just symptoms.
• Mechanical and electrical proficiency: Comfortable working on integrated electromechanical systems.
• Attention to detail: Meticulous in installations, repairs, and calibration work.
• Excellent communicative skills: Keeps operators, supervisors, and teammates informed.
• Detail-oriented craftsman: Take pride in work, every wire is dressed properly, every repair is done right the first time, and every calibration is precise.
• Continuous improvement mindset: Look for ways to make equipment more reliable, maintenance more efficient, and processes better.
• Proactive & action-oriented: Don't wait for problems to escalate. Catch issues early through preventive maintenance and address malfunctions quickly to minimize downtime.
• Systems thinker: Understands how electrical, mechanical, and control systems work together. Troubleshoot holistically, not in isolation.
