Mechatronics Technician (m/f)
Training period: 3,5 years
Mechatronics Technicians work in assembly, maintenance and service. They are the link between mechanics and electronics. They build and install electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic and mechanical assemblies and systems. Their work includes the installation and testing of hardware and software components. They put mechatronic systems into operation, operate equipment, program and maintain systems. Quality assurance and occupational safety are always in their focus.
Due to the complexity of our machines and the high proportion of mechanical components in our product, as well as continuous technological development and digitization, we have created a in-depth training program
Already in the first year of training, the link to reality is established on the basis of real production orders. Assembly of components, which is integrated as part of the training, offers Mechatronics Technician the opportunity to participate directly in the handling of processes. Here, in addition to assembly and joining techniques, logistical and organizational topics are covered.
From the beginning, they accompany the process from the review of the technical documentation and the provided material in relation to parts lists and are part of discussions for technical clarification with the design department. They install the assembly, check the function and finish the process with the delivery of the order.
WORKING AREAS of our Mechatronics Technicians are mainly in the field of machine assembly and refit (special machine construction and modernization of second-hand machines).
REQUIREMENTS include mathematical skills, logical thinking, spatial imagination, fine-motor skills, dexterity, and technical understanding. Equally important are team spirit, sense of responsibility, willingness to learn, stamina, diligence, and the ability to concentrate.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES: Service technicians with direct customer contact, setting up customer machines, or in commissioning and maintenance.
FURTHER QUALIFICATION OPPORTUNITIES: Master Craftsman; Business Economist; Bachelor of Engineering (B. Eng.).
Subsequent fields of activity: Setup engineer in technical sales or consultant in the area of tool holders; work planner in work preparation; project supervisor for automation topics or implementation of new production technologies; integration of Industry 4.0 topics; production controller; design engineer in mechanical and electrical environments, reorientation into commercial areas such as inventory management as technical purchaser.
