What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: emerging (Level 1)(based on Short-Term Certificate)

  • Defective circuit boards and basic sensors — identify and replace under direct supervision on a production-floor robotic cell.
  • Service records and maintenance logs — complete and file accurately following established templates in an automated manufacturing environment.
  • Hand tools and power tools — use to align and assemble robotic components under technician guidance on a light-assembly line.
  • Wiring diagrams and technical manuals — read and interpret to connect wires between controllers under close oversight in a controlled shop setting.
  • Preventive maintenance checklists — follow step-by-step to inspect robotic systems and peripheral equipment on a scheduled basis.
  • Basic electronic test instruments — apply to measure voltage, continuity, and signal outputs under supervisor direction on bench-level repairs.
  • Robot controller interfaces — navigate and observe to monitor operational parameters during supervised system start-up procedures.
  • Programmable controller documentation — review and summarize to support senior technicians during installation tasks in an industrial automation setting.
  • Safety protocols and lockout/tagout procedures — demonstrate correctly before entering a robotic work cell under direct technician supervision.
  • Encoder and servomotor components — distinguish by type and function when sorting and staging parts for scheduled maintenance activities.
