Manufacturing Controls and Electrical Systems Engineer

At 6:00 AM you lace up, greet production, and open the morning's work orders. A PLC fault log gets a quick review, a fixture's wiring gets a second look, and a prototype scheduled for testing is queued up. By mid-morning, you have an updated BOM in the system, revised schematics packed with clear callouts, and a plan to implement a controls tweak that reduces cycle time. After lunch, you coach an operator through a new work instruction, validate inspection records, and capture test data for a component review. Before 2:30 PM, you join a brief stand-up to share progress with engineering, quality, suppliers, and management.

• Schedule: Monday–Friday (Saturday as needed), 6:00 AM–2:30 PM
• Work setting: Manufacturing / Production Floor
• Education: Bachelor's Degree in Engineering (required)

• Design, commission, maintain, and diagnose electrical systems and PLC-driven manufacturing equipment.
• Create, interpret, and update electrical schematics and related technical drawings.
• Troubleshoot electrical and electronic failures; propose and implement corrective actions.
• Automate machinery and processes using PLC platforms and electrical controls.
• Build and sustain accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs) and related product data.
• Author and control Production Work Orders (PWOs), Work Instructions (WIs), inspection records, and engineering documentation.
• Translate customer requirements into actionable electrical, product, and manufacturing specifications.
• Specify components; document part numbers, materials, dimensions, and performance criteria.
• Develop and modify CAD/SolidWorks drawings, prints, and models.
• Assemble and test prototypes and production components; capture and communicate results.
• Support quality inspections; lead and document root-cause and corrective-action activities.
• Recommend product, process, controls, and engineering improvements.
• Partner with production to resolve real-time manufacturing issues on the line.
• Inspect electrical systems during builds, installation, and production runs.
• Maintain engineering records, test reports, QA documentation, and product archives.
• Provide technical training and floor-level support to team members.
• Collaborate with customers, suppliers, contractors, production, and leadership; present technical updates in meetings.

1. Bachelor's degree in Engineering.
2. Manufacturing experience with a solid grasp of production environments.
3. PLC/controls experience with the ability to troubleshoot control issues on equipment.
4. Hands-on troubleshooting strength across equipment, electrical, controls, product, and process problems.
5. Experience with BOMs and controlled manufacturing documentation (work instructions, routings/work orders, drawings, specifications).
6. CAD proficiency; SolidWorks and/or AutoCAD preferred.

ISO 9001, Lean Six Sigma, formal Design of Experiments (DOE), OSHA/EPA familiarity, advanced SolidWorks, root-cause methodologies, and strong customer-facing communication are valuable but not all required.

• Bachelor's Degree
