  • Perform root cause analysis and drive design improvements
  • Support machine builds, testing, and field troubleshooting
  • Collaborate closely with mechanical engineering and manufacturing
  • Serve as a technical reference for engineering leadership and service teams
What They’re Looking For
  • 5+ years of OEM machinery electrical engineering experience
  • Experience with Control Logix, Kinetix and Panel View
  • Strong understanding of industrial electrical codes and standards
  • Ability to design full electrical systems and hardware layouts
  • Comfort presenting and solving problems at a whiteboard level
  • Experience with motion systems and servos
  • Exposure to linear track systems (Rockwell iTRAK, B&R, Beckhoff preferred)
Why This Role
  • Senior technical authority role
  • Complex, high-speed packaging machinery
  • Strong engineering culture with long-term product lines
