• STRONG MATERIAL HANDLING REQUIRED (especially if not local to Milwaukee or Atlanta)

ELECTRICAL DESIGN ENGINEER

Summary:

This senior-level Electrical Engineer leads the design, execution, and continuous improvement of electrical systems for mid-to-large and highly complex automation projects.

This role owns full system design and technical reviews, ensures safety and regulatory compliance, and provides on-site implementation support as needed.

Operating with broad autonomy, the engineer serves as a technical lead across multiple concurrent projects, driving scalability, innovation, and cost efficiency.

They contribute to the development of internal standards, mentor junior and mid-level engineers, and help shape the strategic direction of the electrical engineering discipline within the organization.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or related field.
• 4-7 years of experience in industrial electrical design, preferably in automation or material handling
• 4-8 years of progressive experience in electrical engineering, including lead roles in complex industrial automation projects.
• Material Handling

Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in AutoCAD Electrical preferred (or similar software).
• Working knowledge of UL, NEC, and IEC electrical code requirements.
• Ability to read and produce schematics, layout drawings, and panel documentation.
• Familiarity with VFDs, power supplies, terminal blocks, and industrial sensors.
• Not looking for R&D (prototyping) focus

CONTROLS ENGINEER

Summary:

• The Controls Engineer leads the design, programming, and deployment of complex control systems for material handling automation.
• The position oversees full project scopes from design through commissioning, develops and maintains reusable Emulate3D (or equivalent) component libraries, and defines PLC-to-emulation I/O standards to make virtual commissioning the default path for FAT, code QA, training, and design validation.
• This role provides hands-on support for PLC/HMI delivery (Rockwell/Beckhoff Ignition), drives standardization, supports troubleshooting escalations, mentors engineers in model-driven testing, and collaborates across Mechanical and Electrical teams to reduce on-site time, risk, and cost.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.
• 4–7 years of experience in industrial controls engineering, including lead project responsibilities.
• 4-7 years in industrial controls or virtual commissioning, including hands-on PLC/HMI work and model-based testing.
• Demonstrated experience leading emulation/virtual commissioning efforts tied to real PLC code (not visualization only).
• Material Handling

Other Technical Skills

• PLC Programming: Advanced proficiency in Rockwell Studio 5000 (AOIs/UDTs/ST); experience with TIA Portal; Beckhoff TwinCAT (ST/POUs/DUTs) a plus.
• Emulation & Digital Twins: Strong experience with Emulate3D or equivalent—custom component catalogs, scripted test decks, virtual-mode diagnostics, and automated FAT harnesses.
• HMI/SCADA: Ignition (Perspective/Vision), FactoryTalk View; alarm configuration, historian basics, security (roles/IdP).
• Industrial Networks & Devices: Ethernet/IP (preferred), Profinet, OPC UA; VFDs, servo drives/motion, scanners, safety systems, and device-level diagnostics.
• Tooling & Automation: Git/GitHub workflows, semantic versioning, release notes; ability to script/automate tasks using C# or Python for test/data workflows.
• Data & Analysis: Familiarity with operational KPIs (throughput, gaps, divert accuracy, MTBF), basic SQL and time-series queries; ability to validate system performance with data.

Compensation: $115,000 to $155,000 per year annual base salary 8% annual bonus

Compensation will be determined based on several factors, including skills, experience, education, location, etc. Benefit packages for this role may include healthcare insurance offerings and paid leave as provided by applicable law.
