Job Description & How to Apply Below
Do you like being hands-on with machines as much as you like being at the drawing board?
I'm working with an established manufacturer of automated packaging machinery, in business for decades and recognized as a top employer, whose equipment runs in facilities for some of the world's largest consumer goods companies.
They're looking for an experienced Electrical Engineer to join a lean, senior engineering team.
This role has opened up due to a recent retirement. It's an individual contributor role to start, with genuine room to grow into more senior responsibility as the team builds out and a culture that values engineers willing to wear multiple hats rather than stay in a lane.
What You'll Do:- Developing wiring schematics and panel layouts in AutoCAD to meet customer specifications
- Programming and configuring PLCs, HMIs, VFDs, and servo systems across automated machinery
- Reviewing customer specifications to determine project requirements and support proposal creation
- Commissioning new systems, including testing and debugging equipment on the assembly floor alongside technicians
- Troubleshooting equipment internally and in the field, with occasional travel for installation or support
- Ensuring full functionality of integrated devices - printers, vision systems, code readers, and other third-party equipment
- Evaluating new approaches to improve efficiency and cost on control systems and internal processes
- Working within project budgets while collaborating cross-functionally with the wider engineering team
- Experience producing electrical schematics in AutoCAD (AutoCAD Electrical is a strong plus)
- Solid knowledge of electrical code compliance; UL 508A, NFPA, and NEC for industrial control panels
- Genuine hands-on ability: comfortable wiring, testing, and debugging panels and integrated machinery yourself
- Some exposure to PLC programming is helpful; candidates from a computer science or programming background are also well positioned to grow into this
- Comfortable multitasking and shifting priorities independently in a fast-paced environment
- A clear, proactive communicator who works well with both engineers and technicians on the floor
- Someone who wants to build toward more senior scope over time, not just fill a seat
