Electrical Engineer

You will lead electrical design, build, and commissioning of industrial automation projects—from power distribution and control panels to field wiring, instrumentation, and PLC/HMI programming. You’ll collaborate closely with mechanical and software teams, support factory acceptance tests (FAT), and travel for on‑site installation, calibration, and startup at customer facilities.

• Electrical design & panel construction: Create schematics, bills of materials, and panel layouts; specify breakers, contractors, VFDs, safety relays, and instrumentation.
• Automation & controls: Program and integrate PLCs/HMIs; interface with scales, pumps, valves, and sensors used in precision dispensing systems; execute I/O checkout and commissioning.
• Site installation & commissioning: Lead onsite electrical installation, calibration, and system startup; collaborate with customer and GC teams to meet safety and schedule requirements.
• Troubleshooting & service: Diagnose electrical/controls issues, implement corrective actions, and document fixes for future reference.
• Documentation & compliance: Produce drawings, manuals, and test records; follow SPEC safety procedures and OSHA Hazard Communication practices.
• Cross‑functional collaboration: Work with sales, production, and project teams to meet technical and commercial objectives.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience).
• 3–5+ years in industrial automation/electrical engineering (manufacturing, machinery, or process equipment).
• Hands‑on experience with PLCs, motor controls, power distribution, instrumentation, and panel wiring.
• Ability to read/create electrical schematics; comfortable with field installation and startup.

• CAD for electrical design (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical or similar).
• VFDs, servo systems, and industrial networking (Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Modbus).

• Competitive Salary plus profit sharing program.
• Training and paid travel/living expenses for field assignments.
• 85% Paid Health Insurance.
• SIMPLE IRA match
