• Support a company-wide overhaul of PLC and electrical control systems as part of a large capital project
• Collaborate closely with IT and cross-functional teams to ensure seamless controls integration across the facility

Design & Improve Electrical Systems

• Design, develop, and enhance large-scale electrical systems and machinery used in manufacturing and power distribution
• Modify and optimize control systems to improve machine reliability, safety, and productivity

System Integration & Optimization

• Ensure PLC, sensor, motion control, and servo systems are properly integrated into production processes
• Partner with engineering, maintenance, and production teams to drive process improvements and system performance

Project & Vendor Coordination

• Lead and support engineering projects from concept through implementation
• Work with vendors and contractors on equipment selection, system upgrades, and technical solutions (programming may be vendor-led, but you will oversee integration and functionality)

Testing, Validation & Reliability

• Oversee testing, installation, and validation of electrical and control systems
• Develop procedures and support teams in system commissioning and performance verification
• Analyze system performance data and recommend improvements to prevent failures and increase reliability

Technical Evaluation & Planning

• Ability to manage multiple priorities in fast-paced, technical settings

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) – required
• 10+ years of electrical engineering experience in manufacturing or industrial environments
• Experience supporting or leading large capital projects involving plant-wide system upgrades
• Hands-on experience with PLC-integrated systems (beyond basic maintenance or robotics-only roles)
• Strong understanding of controls integration, sensors, and process improvement

Technical Skills

• Advanced troubleshooting of electrical and electro-mechanical systems down to the component level
• Experience designing or modifying electrical control systems
• Strong working knowledge of PLCs, motion control, and servo systems
• Ability to read, interpret, and troubleshoot complex PLC and servo programs (direct programming may be vendor-led)
• Familiarity with Mitsubishi PLCs is highly
• System calibration and performance optimization
• Experience supporting PLC hardware diagnostics and repairs
• Proficient with CAD and engineering software tools

Additional Expectations

• Strong project leadership and organizational skills
• Experience coordinating with external vendors and contractors
• Willingness to support operations outside standard hours (nights/weekends/holidays) when required for critical project or production needs

Benefits

• Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
