Salary: $130,000 - $140,000 annually (based on experience)
This role is with a billion-dollar global tire manufacturing company operating a state-of-the-art,highly automated production facility in White, Georgia. The plant spans over 2 million square feet and utilizes proprietary automated production technology to manufacture millions ofpremium passenger car and light truck tires annually for the North American market.
The company has operated in Georgia for over 20 years, investing hundreds of millions ofdollars in multiple facility expansions and employing over 1,000 people at the White, GAlocation. The facility has been recognized as a Georgia Manufacturer of the Year and holds ISO
9001 and ISO 14001 certifications. The manufacturing environment features advanced PLC-controlled automation, servo systems, and cutting-edge production equipment.
This position is ideal for an experienced electrical engineer who thrives in a high-volume,heavily automated manufacturing environment, has deep expertise in PLC programming and controls systems, and wants to make a direct impact on production reliability and efficiency at aworld-class facility.
Role OverviewThe Electrical Engineer II is a hands-on, technically advanced role responsible for designing, maintaining, and improving large-scale electrical systems and automated machinery in a high- volume tire manufacturing environment. This individual will work directly with controls, production, maintenance, and engineering teams to ensure electrical systems, and automation equipment operate at peak performance and reliability.
Success in this role requires deep expertise in PLC programming (strong preference for Mitsubishi PLCs), motion control systems, servo programming, and advanced electrical troubleshooting down to the component level. The ideal candidate brings 7–10+ years of hands- on electrical engineering experience in manufacturing, is comfortable leading projects from concept through implementation, and can work across departments to drive continuous improvement in equipment uptime and production efficiency.
Candidates with tire manufacturing experience are of particular interest, though strong experience in other high-volume, automated manufacturing environments will be considered.
Core Responsibilities- Design, develop, and improve large-scale electrical systems and machinery used in high-volume tire manufacturing and production.
- Oversee the testing, installation, and maintenance of electrical equipment to ensure optimal performance and safety.
- Design or modify electrical control systems to boost machine reliability, productivity, and uptime.
- Program, troubleshoot, and modify PLC and servo control programs, with strong preference for Mitsubishi PLC experience.
- Diagnose and resolve complex electrical and mechanical issues down to the component level.
- Calibrate electrical systems and components to ensure optimal performance across production equipment.
- Identify and repair faults in PLC systems, motion control systems, and automated production equipment.
- Collaborate with vendors, contractors, engineers, and maintenance teams to ensure systems meet design and operational standards.
- Leverage computer-aided design (CAD) tools and engineering software to develop and refine electrical system designs.
- Partner with planning and design teams to ensure equipment and tooling support efficient, high-quality production.
- Evaluate equipment proposals, specifications, and technical manuals to assess feasibility and recommend improvements.
- Lead engineering teams in building test equipment and developing procedures for system testing and validation.
- Monitor installations and recommend design changes to prevent malfunctions and improve system reliability.
- Use data and statistical methods to forecast equipment capabilities and support long- term manufacturing goals.
- Manage projects from initial concept through full implementation, coordinating across multiple departments.
- Work with vendors and contractors to source parts, equipment, and services efficiently and cost-effectively.
