Electrical Designer – Industrial Automation
About The Position
If you are looking to escape the rigid, repetitive "rinse-and-repeat" product lines of standard high-volume manufacturing and want a role with true variety, this is your professional sanctuary. Operating as an agile, highly successful boutique automation partner with fewer than 20 employees, this debt-free integrator boasts an exceptional multi-decade history of stability, consistent organic growth, and an absolute track record of job security. The position opens due to a long-term team member transitioning into a completely different field, leaving an opening in a tight-knit, collaborative department where employee retention averages nearly 8 years and multiple professionals have spent over two decades building their careers. What truly sets this organization apart is how heavily they reinvest in their staff's long-term financial future. You will have direct exposure to technical ownership and advanced design tools. Because all fabrication is handled right down the hall in a modern, specialized industrial panel shop, you will experience the excitement of custom, high-variety engineering with zero external travel required.
