Job description

Agri-Neo’s mission is to help safely feed the world. Our vision to accomplish this is to set new food safety standards with our treatments for many foods. Our first product line is Neo-Pure, which leverages our proprietary technology of liquid formulas and systems that apply our solutions onto spices, seeds, herbs, and nuts in food processing facilities. These solutions control pathogens such as Salmonella and other quality indicator microorganisms (TPC, coliforms, etc.) to ensure the food is safe to eat and to prevent recalls. We have several customers throughout the globe (North America, Latin America, China, and Egypt), including large mainstream food processors that treat food continuously at high throughputs. We are scaling up our products at more mainstream customer sites to ensure that we set new food safety and food quality standards to help safely feed the world.

POSITION SUMMARY

We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to support the design and execute the assembly and commissioning of industrial food pasteurization systems shipped globally. This role is a hands-on position that begins with reviewing electrical designs, leading panel builds & modifications and supporting system configuration, integration, and commissioning. Over time, the successful candidate will grow into driving electrical panel design, leading CSA certification efforts, and owning system commissioning and troubleshooting, including basic PLC/program modifications and debugging. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys both engineering design, hands‑on electrical work and is looking to develop into a well‑rounded industrial electrical and controls engineer.
