  • Support builds, FAT, installation, and commissioning
  • Troubleshoot and improve systems using real-world feedback
  • Collaborate with mechanical, controls, robotics, and manufacturing teams
What We’re Looking For
  • 2–6+ years designing electrical systems for industrial automation or machinery
  • Experience with SOLIDWORKS Electrical or similar ECAD tools
  • Strong understanding of industrial power distribution & wiring standards
  • PLC hardware and controls experience
  • Familiarity with machine safety systems
  • Robotics or robotic welding experience is a plus
  • Hands-on, collaborative, ownership mindset
Why Join Us
