Job Description

Shape the heartbeat of innovation in Rancho Cucamonga

SkillSetGroup is hiring an Industrial Automation Controls Electrician for a direct-hire role supporting both R&D and high-volume manufacturing. Your work will keep new ideas moving from the lab to the production floor, installing, programming, and sustaining the electrical control systems that power automated equipment.

A day in the life

You start by reviewing an electrical schematic for a line upgrade. By mid-morning, you’re programming a Rockwell PLC and verifying HMI tags while bringing a VFD online. After lunch, you’re troubleshooting a relay fault with minimal supervision, collaborating with engineers and outside contractors to push a new piece of equipment into service. Before you head out, you document changes, confirm code compliance, and prep for a short trip to a sister facility later in the week.

What you’ll do

• Install, maintain, and troubleshoot industrial electrical control systems across R&D and manufacturing areas
• Program and diagnose Rockwell PLCs
• Work hands-on with HMIs, VFDs, motor controls, and relay logic
• Read and interpret electrical blueprints and schematics
• Support control-system upgrades, modifications, and new equipment start-ups
• Partner with engineers, technicians, vendors, and contractors to resolve issues quickly
• Independently troubleshoot electrical and automation problems
• Follow electrical codes, safety practices, and quality standards at all times
• Perform occasional manual labor and travel to other production facilities as needed

What you bring

• High school diploma or GED
• 3+ years in industrial electrical or controls roles
• Hands-on Rockwell PLC programming and troubleshooting experience
• Strong grasp of electrical theory and control logic
• Experience with HMIs, VFDs, motor controls, and relay logic
