We are seeking a Senior Electrical Controls Engineer to lead the design, development, and implementation of advanced electrical control systems for high-performance manufacturing equipment. This is an exciting opportunity to own key projects from concept to completion, working cross-functionally with R&D, Quality, and Production teams to support next-generation automation technologies.

You’ll be a hands-on leader in PLC and motion control programming, system troubleshooting, and continuous process optimization. If you’re looking for a role where your technical skills and creativity will directly impact manufacturing excellence — we want to hear from you.


Key Responsibilities

  • Lead PLC programming, motion control systems, and HMI development (Allen-Bradley, CompactLogix, EtherNet/IP, IO-Link, ModBus TCP).

  • Troubleshoot, debug, and maintain complex electrical systems on the manufacturing floor.

  • Provide daily technical leadership and mentoring to the manufacturing engineering team.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (R&D, Quality, Production) during product development, testing, and design reviews.

  • Manage small to large-scale engineering projects from concept through delivery.

  • Develop documentation: schematics, prints, supplier communication, and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).

  • Support continuous improvement in production processes, quality output, and equipment reliability.


What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE), Electrical Engineering Technologies (EET), or related field.

  • 5+ years of experience designing, programming, and testing electrical controls systems.

  • Deep expertise in:

    • Allen-Bradley CompactLogix PLCs, HMI development, Vision Systems.

    • Power distribution, I/O devices, sensors, pneumatics, and industrial actuators.

  • Strong mechanical aptitude and understanding of electromechanical systems.

  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills across engineering and production teams.

  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.


Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Work with cutting-edge control and automation technologies in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

  • Influence product and process innovation from the ground up.

  • Lead meaningful engineering projects with visible impact on operations and quality.

  • Competitive salary, top-tier benefits, and up to a 12% annual performance bonus.
