Matrix Technologies is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to join our Industrial Electrical Design team. This role is focused on the design and implementation of industrial electrical systems, control panels, motor control centers (MCCs), and variable frequency drive (VFD) systems for a wide range of industrial clients.

The ideal candidate enjoys solving complex electrical design challenges, developing detailed construction and fabrication packages, and working closely with clients, contractors, and multidisciplinary engineering teams. This position is centered on electrical engineering and control panel design rather than PLC programming.

You will play a key role in delivering high-quality engineering solutions while mentoring junior engineers and helping drive successful project execution from concept through startup.

This is a hybrid role based out of our Atlanta office in Peachtree City, GA. The position is salaried and includes eligibility for overtime pay.
