Electrical Engineer

Job Description

Electrical / Controls Design Engineer | Youngstown, OH area | $100K-$130K + profit sharing

\n

\n

If you’d rather design the system than just program it, this is for you!

\n

\n

I’m partnered with a growing custom machine builder in the Youngstown area that designs and builds large-scale industrial equipment. Big, complex machines, and no two jobs look the same. They’re busier than ever and need a strong electrical designer to own the controls side of their projects.

\n

\n

This is a design role first. They already have programmers. They need the person who can look at a machine, figure out what it needs to do, and design the electrical system to make it happen.

\n

\n

What you’ll do

\n

\n
• Own electrical design on custom equipment: schematics, panel layouts, I/O architecture, component selection, and BOMs in AutoCAD Electrical
\n
• Help scope and quote controls work up front, then design it once it sells
\n
• Release clean drawings to the panel shop and support build and startup
\n
• Help standardize their controls platform as they move to Siemens
\n
• Support PLC code where needed (fluency is a plus, not a must)
\n

\n

\n

What they’re looking for

\n

\n
• 5+ years designing electrical controls for industrial equipment (cranes, material handling, heavy machinery, or custom machine building)
\n
• Real panel design experience: drawings, component selection, BOMs
\n
• Strong in AutoCAD Electrical (EPLAN or similar works too)
\n
• Understands how PLCs, drives, and power distribution tie together, plus the mechanical sense to see how a machine works
\n
• Siemens a big plus, Allen-Bradley welcome
\n
• EE degree preferred, but serious hands-on design experience counts just as much
\n
• Must be a U.S. citizen (required for their controlled facility)
\n

\n

\n

Why it’s worth a look

\n

\n
• Involved from the first quote through final drawings
\n
• Small engineering team with real visibility to leadership
\n
• Chance to shape their controls standard
\n
• $100K-$130K base plus 5-10% profit sharing, 401(k) with 100% match up to 5%
\n
• On-site in the Youngstown, OH area
