    Create detailed electrical schematics in AutoCAD Electrical, ensuring design accuracy and consistency across projects.

    Develop and program PLCs and HMIs (Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation Studio 5000 and/or Siemens TIA Portal) to integrate robotics, vision, and motion systems.

    Collaborate closely with mechanical engineering teams using Autodesk Inventor to align electrical and mechanical designs.
    Define and configure I/O for PLCs, robots, and field devices.
    Mentor and train junior engineers; lead technical reviews and ensure best practices are followed.

    Strong proficiency in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation Studio 5000 and/or Siemens TIA Portal.
    Skilled in AutoCAD Electrical and familiar with Autodesk Inventor or similar 3D modeling software.
    Solid understanding of pneumatics, hydraulics, servo/motion systems, and industrial communication protocols (EtherNet/IP, ASi, etc.).
    Proven leadership experience, mentoring engineers, managing projects, or setting technical direction.
    Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Controls, or Computer Engineering, or equivalent industry experience.

    Why You'll Love This Role

    Direct influence:
    Report to the President and shape the company's automation roadmap.

    Leadership growth:
    Opportunity to build and lead a high-performing controls team.
    Hands-on technical work: Stay involved in design and programming while mentoring others.
    Family-friendly schedule: 1st shift, Monday–Friday, 40–45 hours per week, limited overtime.

    Minimal travel:
    Occasional short trips for commissioning (less than 10%).

    Compensation & Benefits

    Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
    Life insurance, PTO, and paid holidays
    401(k) with company match
