Description du poste

Join a growing precision manufacturer as a Project Engineer, Electrical and take ownership of electrical engineering, industrial automation, and capital improvement projects across multiple manufacturing facilities. Reporting to the Director of Engineering, you will develop practical electrical and controls solutions, specify equipment, coordinate installations, and lead technical projects from initial concept through commissioning and production handoff.

This role is ideal for a hands-on electrical engineer who enjoys solving complex manufacturing challenges, working with industrial controls and automated equipment, and taking ownership of projects from start to finish. You'll have the opportunity to support advanced CNC machining operations, robotics, equipment integration, and facility expansion within a growing precision manufacturing organization.

Project Engineer, Electrical | What You Will Do

• Lead electrical engineering, automation, and capital equipment projects from requirements gathering through installation, commissioning, and handoff
• Develop technical specifications, project scopes, electrical requirements, budgets, schedules, and implementation plans
• Design or coordinate electrical and control systems for manufacturing equipment, automated workcells, and material handling systems
• Evaluate and specify PLCs, HMIs, sensors, drives, motor controls, industrial communications, and related electrical components
• Develop, interpret, and review electrical schematics, control documentation, and equipment specifications
• Identify opportunities to improve manufacturing processes through automation, equipment upgrades, and controls integration
• Collaborate with machinery manufacturers, electrical contractors, panel builders, and automation integrators
• Troubleshoot complex electrical, controls, and equipment integration challenges in active manufacturing environments
• Support equipment installations, production line modifications, facility infrastructure improvements, and manufacturing expansion projects
• Participate in equipment testing, system validation, startup, and production commissioning
• Coordinate with Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Production, Maintenance, Quality, and EHS teams
• Travel to additional manufacturing facilities as needed to support project implementation

Project Engineer, Electrical | What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline preferred; equivalent demonstrated technical expertise considered
• Hands-on experience with industrial electrical engineering, machinery controls, automation, or capital equipment projects
• Experience developing, implementing, or integrating electrical and controls solutions in a manufacturing environment
• Ability to interpret and develop electrical schematics, specify electrical components, and troubleshoot industrial equipment
• Working knowledge of industrial motor controls, sensors, drives, controls architecture, and equipment integration
• Familiarity with PLC/HMI systems, industrial communications, and automated manufacturing equipment
• Strong technical problem-solving skills with the ability to independently evaluate and implement engineering solutions
• Experience coordinating equipment suppliers, electrical contractors, system integrators, and cross-functional teams
• Ability to manage multiple technical projects, priorities, budgets, and schedules
• Experience with robotics, servo systems, automated machine tending, or CNC equipment integration preferred
• Familiarity with electrical codes, machine safety, and industrial equipment standards preferred
• Background in precision manufacturing, aerospace, defense, or similarly demanding manufacturing environments preferred

Project Engineer, Electrical | Compensation and Opportunity

• Competitive base compensation based on experience
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Paid time off
• Tuition reimbursement
• Opportunity to own diverse electrical engineering, automation, and capital improvement projects
• Direct exposure to engineering leadership and multi-site manufacturing operations
• Hands-on involvement with advanced manufacturing equipment and industrial automation
• Opportunity to contribute to manufacturing expansion and new equipment implementation
• Long-term professional development within an expanding manufacturing organization
• Relocation may be considered for qualified candidates

This position requires on-site participation in manufacturing operations and project-related travel. Candidates must meet applicable U.S. employment authorization and export-control eligibility requirements.
