Imagine Your First 90 Days
You kick off the week reviewing a control panel design for a new piece of industrial machinery. By mid-morning, you’re on the floor commissioning a drive, pairing sensors, and validating a PLC routine you refined the night before. After lunch, you huddle with mechanical and software teammates to align on I/O mapping, safety interlocks, and panel layout. Before you sign off for the day, you document findings, flag opportunities to boost reliability, and plan a retrofit that will shave seconds off a critical production step. If that rhythm sounds exciting, you’ll thrive here.
Role Overview
We’re hiring a hands-on Electrical Engineer to design, develop, integrate, and troubleshoot electrical and automation solutions across complex machinery and industrial applications.

- Diagnose and resolve tough issues in electrical, controls, and automation on heavy equipment and industrial systems.
- Partner with mechanical engineers, software engineers, technicians, and field teams to achieve seamless system integration.
- Design and refine PLC-based control systems, sensor networks, motor controls, and VFD applications.
- Select sensors, components, and control hardware to meet performance, reliability, and safety goals.
- Support installs, upgrades, modifications, and retrofits of electrical equipment.
- Inspect installations for compliance with drawings, specifications, and relevant standards.
- Author technical specs, evaluate vendors, and coordinate procurement of electrical components.
- Continuously improve system reliability, efficiency, safety, and overall performance.
- Provide hands-on support during assembly, testing, commissioning, and field operations.
- Work closely with peers to troubleshoot and implement effective engineering solutions.
