Electrical Controls Engineer

4FRONT Engineered Solutions

Electrical Controls Engineer | Help Shape the Future of Industrial Automation

Ready to build, innovate, and leave your mark on products used across the industry?

4Front Engineered Solutions is looking for an Electrical Controls Engineer who thrives in a hands-on environment where engineering ideas become real-world solutions. If you enjoy developing automation systems, solving complex technical challenges, and working on products from concept through production, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for. We are looking for a local candidate as this will be on onsite position at our Kenosha, WI facility

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This isn't a role where you'll be confined to a desk or limited to one aspect of engineering.

You'll have the unique opportunity to:

✅ Influence the development of new products from concept to launch

✅ Design and implement electrical control systems that drive innovation

✅ Work directly with PLCs, VFDs, HMIs, SCADA systems, and industrial automation technologies

✅ Partner with Engineering, Operations, Production, Sales, and Technical Support teams

✅ Solve real-world challenges that improve product performance, quality, and customer satisfaction

✅ Own projects from design through implementation

What You'll Be Doing

Design and develop electrical control systems and custom automation solutions

Create schematics, panel layouts, BOMs, and wiring documentation

Program and support PLCs, HMIs, and industrial control systems

Lead and support new product development initiatives

Troubleshoot equipment and controls issues both remotely and onsite

Improve manufacturing processes, testing systems, and operational efficiency

Collaborate across departments to bring innovative products to market

Drive continuous improvements in quality, cost, and performance

What We're Looking For

✔ Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or Electrical Engineering Technology

✔ 5+ years of engineering experience in a manufacturing environment

✔ Experience with PLCs, VFDs, HMIs, SCADA, and industrial automation systems

✔ Electrical panel and controls design experience

✔ AutoCAD Electrical and schematic development experience

✔ Strong problem-solving skills and a hands-on engineering mindset

✔ Ability to manage multiple projects while delivering results

Ideal Backgrounds

We're especially interested in engineers from:

  • Industrial Automation
  • Material Handling
  • OEM Equipment Manufacturing
  • Packaging Equipment
  • Conveyor Systems
  • Process Automation
  • Controls Integration
  • Machinery Design

The Right Person For This Role -

You are naturally curious, enjoy taking things apart to understand how they work, and get energized solving complex technical challenges. You don't just identify problems, you build solutions.

If you're currently successful in your role but open to hearing about a career opportunity where you can have greater influence, ownership, and impact, let's connect.
