Job Description & How to Apply Below

If you enjoy designing real-world electrical systems that actually get built—not just theoretical drawings—this opportunity offers a hands‑on role in a collaborative, engineering‑driven environment. This team designs and manufactures custom industrial systems, meaning your work directly impacts how equipment is built, wired, and delivered to customers across a range of industries.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Create detailed electrical design drawings including panel layouts, one‑line diagrams, feeder calculations, and panel schedules
  • Develop electrical layouts to support small‑scale building and enclosure designs prior to customer release
  • Specify electrical components to meet project and customer requirements
  • Design systems involving switch gear, ATS, distribution panels, transformers, and related components
  • Incorporate fire/smoke alarm systems, lighting, receptacles, and battery systems into designs
  • Ensure all designs meet NEC code requirements
  • Work closely with engineering and production teams to support a design‑for‑manufacturing approach
What We’re Looking For
  • 5+ years of electrical design experience in industrial, architectural, or construction environments
  • Experience designing systems that include:
    Switchgear, ATS, UDPs, transformers and distribution systems, lighting, alarms, and building electrical components
  • Strong understanding of NEC code compliance
  • Ability to interpret and develop technical drawings and schematics
  • BSEE preferred, but equivalent hands‑on experience will absolutely be considered
  • Proficiency with AutoCAD
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Work in an engineer‑to‑order environment where every project is different
  • High visibility—your designs go straight into production
  • Collaborative culture between engineering, manufacturing, and customers
  • Opportunity to transition into a long‑term, direct role
  • Benefits (Through Sterling Engineering)
  • Paid time off & holidays
  • Multiple medical plan options
  • 401(k)
  • Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
  • Compensation: $30–$40/hr (based on experience)

Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or genetic information.
