If you are an Electrical CAD Designer who is tired of being pigeon-holed into a single, repetitive product line or slowed down by corporate red tape, this is the career upgrade you've been looking for. We are a dynamic, highly agile controls partner founded to meet the massive surge in demand for smart warehouse, factory floor, and automated solutions. We have been doubling our revenue footprint annually, moving from our primary Milwaukee office into an additional, freshly purchased 6,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art UL panel production facility.
Unlike stagnant conglomerate environments, we celebrate technical variety and rapid execution. One week you might be mapping out a complex software-to-hardware interface, and the next you'll be diving deep into a comprehensive electrical layout for a multi-axis robotic cell. We want efficient, high-velocity specialists who love seeing their engineering drawings translate directly into physical, moving machinery. If you want a collaborative, zero-bureaucracy environment where you can continuously expand your knowledge alongside some of the sharpest minds in automation, let's talk.
What You Will Be Doing
- Generating, modifying, and finalizing robust electrical schematics, power distribution diagrams, and control panel layouts for high-complexity custom automation projects
- Managing and driving large-scale, comprehensive blueprint packages (frequently spanning massive, multi-page drawing sets) with a sharp focus on drafting efficiency, accuracy, and output speed
- Translating physical system architectures—including robotic welding cells, high-speed conveyor sortation networks, and specialized testing equipment—into clean, functional CAD drawings
- Collaborating closely with build technicians, project engineers, and client-side stakeholders to ensure all schematics conform to bill of materials (BOM) specifications and client engineering standards
- Utilizing a deep, practical understanding of electrical components to design systems that are highly optimized for seamless physical assembly on our floor
What We Are Looking For
- Schematic Design Depth: At least 5 years of verifiable experience drafting and engineering industrial electrical schematics. You must thoroughly understand what you are drawing—bridging the gap between theory and real-world panel wiring.
- CAD System Proficiency: Complete mastery of CAD. Hands-on design experience using AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, E-Plan, or Sky-Plan is highly preferred.
- Automation Industry Track Record: 5 years of dedicated experience working for a custom machine builder, a robotics integrator, or a material handling/conveyor systems integrator.
- Velocity & Focus: A natural drive for high-speed drafting execution without sacrificing quality or accuracy on large-scale production sets.
- Stability & Local Presence: A stable, reliable employment history coupled with permanent residency located within a comfortable 45-minute commute of the Greater Milwaukee area.
Comprehensive Corporate Benefits
- Full Health, Dental, and Vision insurance coverage
- Simple IRA retirement plan featuring a strong company matching contribution
- Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) bank and paid national holidays
- Direct exposure to highly diverse, custom engineering projects with zero corporate glass ceilings
