    Job Description

    Build reliable automation that powers production

    Join a team that values makers, fixers, and finishers — engineers who turn requirements into safe, reliable, and well-documented systems. Your mission: elevate product performance and manufacturing efficiency through smart electrical design and robust controls.

    Where and when you will work

    • Schedule: Monday–Friday, 6:00 AM–2:30 PM (Saturday as needed)
    • Setting: Manufacturing / Production Floor
    • Education: Bachelor's Degree in Engineering (required)

    About the work

    • Engineer electrical solutions for PLC-controlled machinery — design through sustainment.
    • Author, interpret, and update electrical schematics and technical drawings.
    • Diagnose failures at the component and system level; implement corrective actions decisively.
    • Drive automation and controls improvements that enhance throughput, quality, and safety.
    • Own BOM accuracy and structure; ensure product data integrity.
    • Create and maintain PWOs, WIs, inspection records, and engineering documentation.
    • Turn customer requirements into detailed electrical, product, and manufacturing specifications.
    • Select components and capture specifications, dimensions, materials, and identifying data.
    • Develop and revise CAD/SolidWorks models, prints, and assemblies.
    • Prototype, test, and validate designs; record and share test results.
    • Support inspections and lead root-cause and corrective-action investigations.
    • Recommend improvements to products, processes, and electrical/controls architecture.
    • Partner with production to resolve on-line manufacturing issues.
    • Inspect electrical systems and installations during builds and production.
    • Keep engineering records, test reports, QA documentation, and product files current.
    • Coach and train production and team members on new processes and equipment.
    • Collaborate with customers, suppliers, contractors, production staff, and management; provide updates in project meetings.

    What success looks like in your first 90 days

    • Own a production cell's controls documentation (BOMs, WIs, schematics) with zero gaps.
    • Close out at least one root-cause investigation with measurable corrective action.
    • Deliver a small automation improvement that reduces downtime or cycle time.

    Qualifications

    1. Bachelor's degree in Engineering.
    2. Manufacturing background with strong familiarity with production operations.
    3. PLC/controls expertise with hands-on troubleshooting of control and electrical issues.
    4. Demonstrated, hands-on troubleshooting across equipment, electrical, controls, product, and process.
    5. Experience with BOMs and controlled manufacturing documents (work instructions, routings/work orders, drawings, specifications).
    6. CAD proficiency; SolidWorks and/or AutoCAD preferred.

    Preferred background

    ISO 9001, Lean Six Sigma, DOE, OSHA/EPA knowledge, advanced SolidWorks, formal root-cause methods, and strong customer-facing communication experience are beneficial but not strictly required.

    Tools and domains you will touch

    • Bachelor's Degree
    • Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering
    • CAD Software
    • ISO 9001 Certification Experience
    • Automotive Manufacturing Systems
    • BOM
    • SolidWorks

    If you are energized by solving problems at the source, collaborating across functions, and documenting solutions others can build on, you will thrive here.
