Electrical Controls Engineer

What You’ll Be Doing: -Develop electrical schematics, control panel/enclosure layouts, and supporting documentation using AutoCAD.-Design electrical control systems for custom industrial equipment.-Develop and program PLC and HMI applications, including programming from scratch.-Test, troubleshoot, and debug electrical and PLC systems.-Work primarily with Allen-Bradley controls; Siemens experience is a strong plus as customer demand for the platform continues to grow.-Select electrical components and develop parts/BOM documentation from engineering drawings.-Work with 240/480V single- and three-phase power as well as AC/DC control circuits.-Collaborate with engineering, project, and manufacturing teams throughout the equipment build.-Participate in internal system testing prior to shipment.-Provide technical support during equipment startup and commissioning when needed.-Troubleshoot customer equipment and controls issues as they arise. What They’re Looking For-3+ years of electrical controls, automation, or related engineering experience preferred.-Hands-on PLC programming and troubleshooting experience.-Ability to develop or work with PLC programs from scratch.-Experience with Allen-Bradley PLCs strongly preferred.-Siemens PLC experience is a plus.-Experience creating or modifying electrical schematics in AutoCAD or a comparable electrical design package.-Working knowledge of industrial electrical systems, including 240/480V power and AC/DC controls.-Ability to troubleshoot controls and electrical systems in a hands-on equipment environment.-Experience with FANUC robotics, RoboGuide, DCS, machine safety, or risk assessments is helpful but not required.-Combustion or industrial furnace experience is a plus, but not required.-An Electrical Engineering or related degree is preferred, but equivalent hands-on industry experience will be considered. TravelTravel is project-dependent and primarily associated with equipment startup, commissioning, or troubleshooting at customer facilities. Systems are designed and tested internally prior to shipment, so engineers typically travel when their technical involvement is needed onsite. Travel can reach approximately 30% during heavier project periods, but this represents the higher end and can vary significantly based on project needs. Most customer activity is currently within the U.S.Why Consider It?-Competitive base salary, based upon experience-Work on highly customized equipment rather than repetitive, standardized machinery.-Opportunity to own projects across electrical design, programming, testing, and startup.-Growing business with a strong current backlog and additional projects on the horizon.-Long-tenured, close-knit team with a history of employee retention.-Family-oriented environment that makes an effort to work with employees around individual circumstances when possible.-Healthcare and 401(k) benefits.-Historical Christmas bonus and potential profit-sharing opportunities.-PTO/vacation may have flexibility depending on experience.-Opportunity to expand into Siemens, robotics, and other technologies as customer requirements evolve.
