Industrial Equipment | Electrical Design | Manufacturing Engineering

Location: Eastern Tennessee | Onsite Base Salary: $80,000–$120,000, depending on background and experience

Want to take ownership of electrical engineering design projects rather than focus primarily on troubleshooting or PLC programming?

Our client, an established manufacturer of engineered industrial equipment and systems in Eastern Tennessee, is seeking an Electrical Engineer to design electrical systems and controls for industrial equipment.

This is an opportunity for an engineer who enjoys technical variety, solving design challenges, and collaborating with engineering and manufacturing teams to bring equipment projects to completion.

Why You Should Apply

• Competitive compensation: $80,000–$120,000 base salary, depending on background and experience, plus eligibility for an annual bonus.
• Engineering ownership: Take responsibility for electrical designs, schematics, component selection, and technical documentation.
• Technical variety: Work on electrical systems and controls for engineered industrial equipment.
• Company stability: Join an established manufacturer with opportunities for continued growth.
• Generous 401(k) match: Company matches 50% of employee contributions up to 10% of eligible compensation, providing a maximum 5% employer contribution with immediate vesting.
• Comprehensive benefits: Four medical plan options, dental and vision coverage, and a $900 annual employer HSA contribution for eligible participants.
• Additional benefits: Company-paid basic life and disability insurance, 15 days of PTO initially, increasing with tenure, and paid holidays.

What You'll Do

• Design electrical systems and controls for industrial equipment.
• Develop electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, control panel layouts, and technical documentation.
• Specify electrical components and support equipment design and integration.
• Apply applicable electrical codes and standards, including NEC, NFPA, UL, and CSA.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineering, controls engineering, and manufacturing personnel.
• Support electrical design reviews, troubleshooting, testing, and implementation.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering required.
• Three or more years of relevant electrical engineering experience preferred.
• Experience designing electrical systems for industrial equipment, machinery, or manufacturing applications.
• Ability to develop and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and control panel layouts.
• Experience using electrical CAD software.
• Working knowledge of applicable electrical codes and standards.
• Strong technical problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• PLC programming experience is a plus, but not required. A separate controls engineering team handles PLC programming.

This is a full-time, 100% onsite position in Eastern Tennessee. Relocation assistance is not provided.

You’ll work closely with engineering and manufacturing teams in a collaborative, hands-on environment.
