Because all fabrication is handled right down the hall in their own modern, specialized industrial panel shop, you get to watch your custom designs go from a digital screen to a physical build with absolutely zero field travel required.

• Design detailed electrical schematics and control panel layouts tailored to custom, high-complexity industrial automation projects.
• Generate comprehensive Bills of Materials (BOMs) and select specialized electrical hardware, breakers, relays, and terminal blocks to support production.
• Collaborate closely with automation engineers from initial concept design to final project sign-off, ensuring all client technical requirements are met.
• Draft schematics for advanced integration initiatives, including web handling systems, multi-axis coordinated servo motion, and robotics projects.
• Partner with the assembly technicians on the shop floor throughout the panel build process to review drawings, troubleshoot design changes, and verify hardware efficiency.
• Maintain digital design standards and manage engineering assets within version control environments.

• 2+ years of dedicated electrical layout experience, OR an Associate/Technical degree in Electrical Design/Electro-Mechanical technology paired with at least 6 months of hands-on drafting experience.
• Strong AutoCAD Electrical mastery, as this is the primary software platform used daily for schematic architecture.
• Familiarity with Autodesk Inventor and Vault asset management software is highly preferred to ensure a fast transition.
• Proven ability to interpret technical schematics and conceptualize physical control panel layouts from raw engineering specifications.
• Excellent team communication skills and a collaborative mindset to interface smoothly between engineering and the fabrication floor.
