Job Function:
Electrical CAD Designer – Custom Automation Systems
Up to $85,000 Base Salary • Greater Milwaukee Area • 1st Shift • Full-Time / Direct Hire
- Compensation & Earnings: Baseline starting salary up to $85,000 (commensurate with drafting velocity and schematic depth), backed by a full corporate benefits package.
- Company Profile & Expansion: Direct-hire seat with a fast-growing automation integrator that has doubled revenue annually, expanding into a newly acquired 6,000 sq. ft. UL panel production facility.
- 1st Shift & Work Environment: 100% on-site 1st shift seat operating in an agile, zero-bureaucracy engineering hub focused on custom multi-axis robotic cells, conveyor sorters, and high-velocity builds.
- Core Software & Functional Scope: Architect multi-page electrical drawing packages, power distribution schematics, and control panel layouts using AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, E-Plan, or Sky-Plan.
- Strict Requirements: U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Residency (Green Card); 5 years drafting industrial electrical schematics for custom machinery or robotics; local Milwaukee commute (~45 mins).
About the Opportunity
If you are an Electrical CAD Specialist looking to escape repetitive single-product loops and sluggish corporate red tape, this direct-hire opportunity offers an agile, high-velocity engineering hub. Founded to support the surging demand for smart factory and warehouse automation, our client is a rapidly expanding integration partner that has doubled its revenue annually and recently launched a modern 6,000 sq. ft. UL panel production facility. This organization thrives on technical variety and fast execution. Rather than working on stagnant, templated projects, you will engineer detailed drawing packages for custom multi-axis robotic cells, high-speed conveyor sorters, and software-to-hardware power interfaces. You will collaborate directly with panel build technicians and project engineers in a zero-bureaucracy environment where your schematics translate directly into physical, operating machinery.
What You Will Be Doing (Daily Responsibilities)
- Architect Electrical Schematics: Draft, revise, and finalize complete electrical schematics, power distribution systems, and control panel layouts for custom automation machinery.
- Manage Large Blueprint Packages: Produce multi-page drawing sets with an emphasis on accuracy, speed, and adherence to industrial electrical standards.
- Map Physical & Robotic Systems: Translate complex physical equipment layouts—such as robotic welding cells and high-speed sorters—into clean, functional electrical schematics.
- Partner with Panel Build Technicians: Work hand-in-hand with shop floor technicians and project engineers to ensure panel layouts align seamlessly with Bill of Materials (BOM) specs and physical wiring constraints.
- Optimize for Manufacturing: Apply practical electrical component knowledge to design control panels that are streamlined for real-world assembly and field serviceability.
What We Are Looking For (Requirements & Qualifications)
- Industrial CAD Experience: 5 years of industrial electrical schematic design experience within a custom machine builder, robotics integrator, or material handling environment.
- CAD Ecosystem Mastery: High proficiency in specialized electrical design software (AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, E-Plan, or Sky-Plan).
- Practical Electrical Depth: Deep understanding of real-world industrial power distribution, relay logic, sensor integration, safety circuits, and control panel design dynamics.
- High-Velocity Drafting Execution: Proven ability to manage multi-page drawing packages efficiently while maintaining flawless accuracy.
- Employment Stability: A consistent career history demonstrating long-term dedication with prior employers.
- Location & Authorization: U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder residing within a comfortable commuting distance (~45 minutes) of the Greater Milwaukee area.
Preferred Technical Assets (Bonus Skills)
- UL 508A Knowledge: Familiarity with UL 508A industrial control panel standards and NEC code compliance.
- BOM & ERP Integration: Experience creating, managing, and structuring structured Bills of Materials (BOMs) within enterprise ERP/MRP systems.
- 3D Panel Layouts: Hands-on experience creating 3D control panel layouts and spatial wiring routes within SolidWorks Electrical or E-Plan Pro Panel.
