About The Position

Layup Parts is a manufacturing technology company developing proprietary software, robotics, and advanced manufacturing systems to reduce manufacturing lead times. The Electrical Engineer will help develop manufacturing equipment and own the electrical systems that support the production floor. This hands-on, systems-level role spans industrial controls, electrical cabinets, wiring and harnessing, production equipment, and robotic systems. The engineer will collaborate with robotics, controls, mechanical, manufacturing, and facilities teams to troubleshoot equipment, improve existing machines, and design electrical systems for new projects. The role involves working directly with physical systems and diagnosing and resolving problems on the production floor. The position also supports production and facilities as the company expands and brings new equipment online, and helps establish electrical design, documentation, component-selection, and maintainability standards across the factory.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
At least 1 year of professional experience working with physical electrical or electromechanical systems; exceptional early-career candidates with significant hands-on project experience will also be considered.
Strong hands-on electrical skills and comfort working directly with equipment, wiring, harnesses, sensors, motors, and other hardware.
Experience designing, building, troubleshooting, or integrating electrical systems at a system level.
Ability to read and create electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation.
Strong engineering fundamentals and the ability to troubleshoot complex problems methodically.
Comfort working in a fast-moving production environment and collaborating across electrical, mechanical, software, manufacturing, and operations teams.
