Help specify, install, test, and commission new equipment while maintaining accurate electrical drawings, schematics, standard work, and process documentation. Connect production equipment with company data systems, maintain backup programs, develop predictive monitoring tools, and identify opportunities to improve efficiency and manage power costs. Stay close to the work by pitching in on practical tasks, including building a control box when the project calls for it.

Qualifications: Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering. Hands-on PLC programming capability, including the ability to write or modify programs for manufacturing equipment. Robotics or mechatronics experience gained through professional work, an internship, coursework, or a college team or club. The ability to troubleshoot electrical and control systems in an industrial manufacturing environment. A self-starting, adaptable approach and the confidence to learn new PLC platforms, work through obstacles, and own the outcome. The ability to work fully on-site in Teutopolis, Illinois, with occasional travel and occasional weekend support when equipment or projects require it. We offer a salary range of $100,000 to $120,000, annual performance increases, profit-sharing potential, and an employee stock ownership contribution equal to 6% of salary.
