Job description

Senior Electrical Engineer (EPLAN | Industrial Machinery)

Design Complex Industrial Machinery. Own the Electrical Architecture.

If you're an experienced Electrical Engineer who enjoys designing electrical hardware for custom industrial machinery—not maintaining legacy systems—this is an opportunity to own complete electrical designs from concept through production.

Seeking a 5+ year Electrical Enginner for a family-owned leader in advanced thermal processing equipment serving the Metal Injection Molding (MIM) and Additive Manufacturing (AM) industries.

Every machine we build is engineered-to-order, giving our engineers the opportunity to solve unique technical challenges while working alongside experienced mechanical, manufacturing, and automation engineers!

You will:

• Design sophisticated industrial machinery from concept through manufacturing
• Lead electrical hardware architecture for custom equipment
• Work directly with Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing, and Automation
• See your designs built, tested, and shipped worldwide
• Join a stable, family-owned engineering company where technical decisions matter

Duties & Responsibilities

You’ll lead the electrical design of complex industrial machinery, including:

• Design complete electrical hardware systems using EPLAN
• Develop electrical schematics, panel layouts, wiring diagrams, and manufacturing documentation
• Design AC (120–600V) and DC (24–60V) power distribution systems
• Specify motors, transformers, relays, breakers, heaters, SCRs, cables, and electrical protection devices
• Develop BOMs, terminal layouts, grounding plans, and installation documentation
• Ensure designs comply with NEC, NFPA, UL508A, CE, NFPA 79, NFPA 86, and ISO 13849 requirements
• Support prototype builds, commissioning, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement
• Partner with Automation Engineering to ensure seamless hardware integration

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or similar
• 5+ years of industrial electrical design experience
• Strong proficiency with EPLAN
• Expertise in industrial control panels, power distribution, and electrical documentation
• Strong understanding of NEC, NFPA, UL, and CE standards

Preferred Qualifications

• High-temperature process equipment
• Transformers
• Custom manufacturing machinery

Why Engineers Enjoy Working Here

• Design custom machinery—not commodity products
• Own projects from concept through production
• Work alongside experienced engineers in a collaborative environment
• Minimal bureaucracy and direct access to leadership
• Stable family-owned company with long-term vision
• Modern engineering and manufacturing facility
• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits
