Maintenance Automation Engineer

Diversified Botanics is a high-performance wellness company redefining what operational excellence looks like. We value speed, precision, and accountability—and we hire individuals who bring the same mindset to every shift. This is a culture for people who take pride in doing things well, at pace, and as part of a tight-knit team.

What You’ll Do

You will serve as the primary technical owner for production equipment performance, uptime, and reliability. You will diagnose issues at the line, establish maintenance standards, and coordinate with external OEMs, integrators, and engineering partners when advanced support is required. Your work directly protects quality, safety, and throughput.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the on-site technical authority for filling, packaging, and support systems, including encapsulators, conveyors, labelers, heat tunnels, and transfer systems.

• Troubleshoot mechanical and foundational electrical issues (AC/DC circuits, sensors, motors, drives).

• Establish baseline preventive maintenance standards, documentation, and schedules across production equipment.

• Coordinate with OEMs, vendors, and external engineers for advanced diagnostics, repairs, or system upgrades.

• Capture all maintenance activity accurately in digital work order and tracking systems.

• Support facility infrastructure, utilities, and equipment installations.

• Operate forklifts, scissor lifts, and other equipment safely when required.

• Uphold safety, GMP, and manufacturing standards without compromise.

You’ll Thrive Here If You

• Take ownership naturally and don’t wait for structure to be handed to you.

• Think in systems, not just fixes, and document what you learn.

• Stay calm under pressure and move decisively when uptime is on the line.

• Communicate clearly with operators, leadership, and external partners.

• Lean into technology, data, and automation rather than avoiding them.

You May Struggle Here If You

• Need constant direction or established processes before acting.

• Prefer repetitive, narrowly scoped tasks.

• Avoid accountability for outcomes.

• Expect engineering titles or authority without first earning operational trust.

What You Bring

• 2–5+ years maintaining, troubleshooting, or operating production equipment in manufacturing, packaging, or a regulated environment.

• Strong mechanical aptitude with foundational electrical troubleshooting skills.

• Experience building or running preventive maintenance programs.

• Comfort working in a high-velocity, safety-critical environment.

• Experience with digital maintenance or work order systems.

• Valid driver’s license.

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to BellatRx or similar filling and packaging systems.

• Experience in food, supplement, pharmaceutical, or GMP-regulated manufacturing.

• Foundational exposure to automation, PLC logic, or control systems.

• Bilingual (English/Spanish).
