Electrical Controls Engineer

The Electrical Controls Engineer is a key member of the ETE engineering group responsible for the hands-on electrical design of automated test systems used to validate complex hydraulic and electronic automatic transmission assemblies and subcomponents. This position requires an engineer who can produce clean, professional electrical schematics and panel layout drawings in AutoCAD, understand how a wide range of sensors operate, and wire them correctly to deliver the right signal type into the control system — including wiring, harness integration, and instrumentation setup.

Controls work (PLC/HMI programming, commissioning, and troubleshooting) is also part of the role, with a focus on dynamometer (dyno) control and high-speed data acquisition.

ETE REMAN is the largest independent aftermarket automatic transmission remanufacturer in the United States. Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, we’ve been rebuilding transmissions since 1985 — and we’re still growing strong. With more than 800 team members, ETE REMAN is a place where people can build their career, learn new skills, and be part of a team that wins together.

The demand for our transmissions remains strong no matter the economy. Our work reduces waste, keeps vehicles on the road, and helps customers save money.

ETE REMAN is for people who take pride in their work and want to create something real. We’re a team that values quality, honesty, and getting better every single day. You’ll find opportunity here — if you’re ready to learn, grow, and go all-in.

The pace is fast. The expectations are high. And the roadmap? You’ll help draw it. We’re growing quickly, built to last through any market, and still grounded in our family‑owned roots. That means you get the best of both worlds — a tight‑knit, no‑nonsense culture with room to advance and make your mark.

• Electrical Design :
  Create and maintain detailed electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and panel layout drawings in AutoCAD (AutoCAD Electrical preferred), or Draft Sight, following consistent standards for symbols, wire numbering, and documentation.
• Sensor Selection & Signal Wiring :
  Evaluate how sensors (pressure, temperature, position, proximity, load, speed, Hall effect, etc.) operate and wire them to deliver the correct signal type (4-20mA, 0-10V, digital I/O, thermocouple, RTD, encoder, Hall effect switching/analog output, etc.) into PLCs and data acquisition systems.
• Error Proofing Implementation: Integrate sensors, barcode scanners, and interlocking logic to prevent assembly errors during the complex transmission build process
• PLC and HMI Programming :
  Develop and debug logic for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) (e.g., Allen‑Bradley, Siemens) and Human‑Machine Interfaces (HMIs) to automate assembly line testing validation.
• System Troubleshooting & Downtime Reduction :
  Respond to machine faults on the plant floor, perform root‑cause analysis, and implement corrective actions to maintain production uptime
• Vision Integration :
  Program and integrate industrial robots (e.g., Fanuc, ABB) and vision systems (e.g., Keyence, Cognex) for precise part placement and quality inspection.
• Commissioning & Startup :
  Lead the installation, debugging, and initial runoff of new manufacturing equipment
• Team :
  Interface and collaborate with Product Engineers, Manufacturing Engineers, Quality Engineers, Mechanical Design Engineers, and Maintenance Technicians
