Mechatronics Technician

VVater is a US-based, next-generation water treatment company that aims to provide Water for Humankind with a cornerstone of sustainability and a promise of a better, healthier tomorrow, servicing various industries and markets around the world from Real Estate, Wastewater Treatment, Municipal Potable Water, and multiple others, in particular, focusing on the recovering and recycling of different waters in a centralized or decentralized way. The company also provides artificial beaches, urban lagoons, wave pools, surf parks, aquatics services, sewage treatment, wastewater treatment, and drinking water solutions. Job Summary: VVater seeks a highly skilled Mechatronics Technician to build, integrate, and troubleshoot advanced electro-mechanical systems that include actuators, servos, motors, hydraulic and pneumatic components, motion assemblies, and automated mechanisms. This role supports R&D, engineering, product development, and production by turning designs into working automated systems, ranging from deployable mechanical structures to motion-controlled assemblies used in VVater’s next-generation water treatment technologies. The ideal candidate is a hands-on problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced engineering environment and is fluent across mechanical, electrical, and automation disciplines. Duties and Responsibilities: Assemble and integrate actuators, servo motors, linear guides, rotary drives, gear systems, solenoids, and automated linkages into working mechanical systems. Build and maintain hydraulic and pneumatic subsystems, including cylinders, valves, regulators, manifolds, pumps, and fluid routing hardware. Install and route sensor packages (limit switches, optical sensors, encoders, proximity sensors, pressure/flow sensors) for feedback and control. Perform electrical wiring, termination, crimping, labeling, and cable management for automation assemblies. Support controls engineers with integration of PLC/SCADA and low-voltage control signals (24VDC, analog/digital I/O). Interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, hydraulic diagrams, motion drawings, and 3D CAD output to guide assembly and troubleshooting. Assist in building robotic or transformer-like mechanisms that extend, fold, lift, rotate, engage, or change physical configuration automatically. Execute functional testing, calibration, alignment, and tuning of electro-mechanical assemblies. Troubleshoot automation faults, diagnose issues in actuators, drives, sensors, relays, control loops, and mechanical subassemblies. Assist in creating automated test rigs, dynamic fixtures, and motion-based prototypes for R&D validation. Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, R&D, and fabrication teams to refine designs and improve repeatability and manufacturability. Perform light machining, drilling, tapping, cutting, grinding, and assembly prep as needed. Maintain shop equipment, tools, wiring stations, hydraulic lines, and safety protocols. Support…
