Electrical Engineer – Manufacturing Support (sustaining)

Electrical Engineer – Manufacturing Support (Sustaining)

If you love solving real-world electrical problems on the floor, not just behind a screen — this is your role! This isn't another product development job where you only see prototypes in CAD. This is a hands-on, floor-facing Electrical Engineering position supporting highly specialized manufacturing lines producing life-enhancing mobility products. You'll be the go-to electrical expert embedded directly in the heart of production — troubleshooting issues, improving test systems, collaborating with line workers, and helping to keep critical operations running smoothly. This company is privately owned, stable, and deeply values work-life balance, employee respect, and engineering craft. No mandatory overtime. No corporate red tape. Just meaningful work with a team that wants you to succeed.

What You'll Do:

• Own and support all electrical systems across multiple production lines (stairlifts, auto lifts, platform lifts, and more)
• Troubleshoot day-to-day electrical issues (wiring errors, DC systems, fixture failures, sensor faults)
• Manage and improve PLC-based automated test stations
• Collaborate closely with assembly line personnel, supervisors, QA, and engineers
• Maintain and upgrade test fixtures, tools, and equipment (including building new solutions as needed)
• Support new product launches with test system integration and software adjustments
• Contribute to a culture of problem-solving, humility, and practical impact

You'll Excel Here If You:

• Enjoy working with real-world systems — wiring, sensors, motors, fixtures — not just simulations
• Like being on the floor, talking to line workers, diagnosing problems, and jumping in to help
• Have strong troubleshooting instincts, even when documentation is vague or the issue is human
• Appreciate a stable environment with minimal politics, open communication, and long-term team members
• Want to make an immediate difference in throughput, quality, and team performance

Must-Have Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering (strongly preferred; experience may substitute in some cases)
• 3–10+ years of experience supporting manufacturing operations (sustaining, test, or production support)
• Strong knowledge of:
• PLC programming and troubleshooting
• 12V / 24V DC systems
• HMI / touch screen configuration
• Test fixture development or support
• Comfort with Arduino, LabVIEW, or other small-scale test tools (a plus)
• Ability to read schematics and diagnose hands-on wiring issues quickly

Soft Skills That Matter:

• Patient and collaborative communicator — able to talk shop with production staff
• Problem-solver who can improvise and iterate without being micromanaged
• Comfortable in a sustaining/support role — not chasing titles or strictly product development work
• Interested in steady, long-term contribution, not rapid job-hopping or ladder climbing

What's In It for You:

• Stable and profitable company with over 40 years of growth and innovation
• No required overtime – your evenings and weekends belong to you
• Flexible PTO managed with common sense, not bureaucracy
• Embedded in a modern, climate-controlled production facility
• Room to grow — opportunity to rotate into new areas or take on new product lines over time
• Quarterly bonus (~3%) based on company performance
• Team culture built on trust, zero egos, and mutual support

Schedule & Logistics:

• 100% On-Site | Climate-Controlled | One Shift
• Typical hours: 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM to overlap with assembly operations
• No travel required
• Full benefits, including health, dental, 401(k), and paid time off

Ready to Apply? This is a rare opportunity for a skilled, floor-savvy electrical engineer to join a company where your work has clear, immediate impact and where you're treated like a human, not a cog.
