Job Description:
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. * Please note all resumes and candidate
information submitted are kept in the strictest confidence. No
resume will be released without the candidate's prior permission.
