Job Description
Shape the heartbeat of innovation in Rancho Cucamonga
SkillSetGroup is hiring an Industrial Automation Controls Electrician for a direct-hire role supporting both R&D and high-volume manufacturing.

- Program and diagnose Rockwell PLCs
- Work hands-on with HMIs, VFDs, motor controls, and relay logic

- Partner with engineers, technicians, vendors, and contractors to resolve issues quickly
- Independently troubleshoot electrical and automation problems
- Follow electrical codes, safety practices, and quality standards at all times
- Perform occasional manual labor and travel to other production facilities as needed
What you bring
- High school diploma or GED
- 3+ years in industrial electrical or controls roles
- Hands-on Rockwell PLC programming and troubleshooting experience
- Strong grasp of electrical theory and control logic
