If you want to escape repetitive, high-volume manufacturing lines and work on highly customized, high-variety projects, this direct-hire role offers the perfect professional home. This is an agile, debt-free, and highly successful boutique automation partner. Known for its incredible job security and organic growth over multiple decades, this tight-knit team has an average employee tenure of nearly 8 years, with several team members exceeding 20 years of service.

Due to a long-term team member transitioning into a new career path, they are adding a dedicated designer to work directly alongside their engineering and assembly teams. Because all fabrication is handled right down the hall in their own modern, specialized industrial panel shop, you get to watch your custom designs go from a digital screen to a physical build with absolutely zero field travel required.

What You Will Be Doing (Daily Responsibilities)

• Design detailed electrical schematics and control panel layouts tailored to custom, high-complexity industrial automation projects.
• Generate comprehensive Bills of Materials (BOMs) and select specialized electrical hardware, breakers, relays, and terminal blocks to support production.
• Collaborate closely with automation engineers from initial concept design to final project sign-off, ensuring all client technical requirements are met.
• Draft schematics for advanced integration initiatives, including web handling systems, multi-axis coordinated servo motion, and robotics projects.
• Partner with the assembly technicians on the shop floor throughout the panel build process to review drawings, troubleshoot design changes, and verify hardware efficiency.
• Maintain digital design standards and manage engineering assets within version control environments.

What We Are Looking For (Requirements & Qualifications)

• 2+ years of dedicated electrical layout experience, OR an Associate/Technical degree in Electrical Design/Electro-Mechanical technology paired with at least 6 months of hands-on drafting experience.
• Strong AutoCAD Electrical mastery, as this is the primary software platform used daily for schematic architecture.
• Familiarity with Autodesk Inventor and Vault asset management software is highly preferred to ensure a fast transition.
• Proven ability to interpret technical schematics and conceptualize physical control panel layouts from raw engineering specifications.
• Excellent team communication skills and a collaborative mindset to interface smoothly between engineering and the fabrication floor.
• A growth-oriented career mindset with the desire to scale long-term into advanced automation engineering or technical sales roles.
