Sr. Electrical Engineer- Systems

Lanco Group of Companies
Hazel Crest, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 6/10/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/9/2026
Are you an experienced Electrical Engineer with strong system-level design and integration expertise? Join our engineering team at Mi-Jack Products as a Senior Electrical Engineer, Systems, where you'll play a key role in defining, developing, and supporting complex electrical control systems across industrial product lines. In this role, you will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to establish system requirements, guide implementation, and ensure robust, compliant solutions.

What You'll Do

  • Define electrical system architectures and develop system-level requirements, including functional descriptions, interface definitions, and performance expectations for complex equipment
  • Translate system requirements into clear design criteria for downstream teams, including power distribution, control panels, harnessing, and device integration
  • Collaborate with CAD design teams by specifying layout intent, constraints, and system requirements (clearances, serviceability, environmental considerations), and reviewing deliverables for compliance to system intent
  • Provide system-level guidance to controls/software teams by defining control strategies, I/O requirements, sequencing intent, and functional behavior, without direct code development
  • Perform electrical analysis including load calculations, cable sizing, and application of derating factors to validate system performance against requirements
  • Apply industry standards such as NEC and UL at the system level, ensuring designs meet compliance, safety, and regulatory expectations
  • Support system integration, testing, and debugging activities, identifying and resolving issues across electrical, controls, and mechanical interfaces
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment between system architecture, physical implementation, and functional performance
  • Develop and maintain technical documentation for complex projects, including system descriptions, requirements, and design intent documentation
  • Identify and drive improvements in system design, integration practices, and engineering processes to improve reliability and efficiency
  • Support troubleshooting and root cause analysis for system-level issues across development, manufacturing, and field environments

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
  • Experience designing and specifying electrical systems for complex equipment or industrial machinery
  • Working knowledge of electrical CAD platforms (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN) with the ability to define requirements and review outputs, rather than generate detailed drawings
  • Experience defining controls requirements and interfacing with PLC/software development teams in an industrial environment
  • Strong understanding of electrical codes and standards such as NEC and UL
  • Experience performing electrical calculations including load analysis and cable sizing
  • Demonstrated ability to support system integration, validation, and troubleshooting

Do You Have??

  • Strong system-level thinking with the ability to translate functional requirements into implementable designs
  • High degree of independence and ownership while working within defined system architectures
  • Effective collaboration across engineering disciplines, with the ability to guide and influence without direct authority
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, particularly in system integration and troubleshooting
  • Consistent delivery of high-quality work with attention to detail and adherence to standards
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet project deadlines
  • Proactive mindset with a focus on identifying and implementing improvements

Work Environment & Travel

This role is primarily office-based in a professional engineering environment with occasional work in offsite settings. Approximately 10% domestic and international travel is expected.
