About the role

I’m partnered with a growing custom machine builder in the Youngstown area that designs and builds large-scale industrial equipment. Big, complex machines, and no two jobs look the same. They’re busier than ever and need a strong electrical designer to own the controls side of their projects. This is a design role first. They already have programmers. They need the person who can look at a machine, figure out what it needs to do, and design the electrical system to make it happen.
What you’ll do:
- Own electrical design on custom equipment: schematics, panel layouts, I/O architecture, component selection, and BOMs in AutoCAD Electrical
- Help scope and quote controls work up front, then design it once it sells
- Release clean drawings to the panel shop and support build and startup
- Help standardize their controls platform as they move to Siemens
- Support PLC code where needed (fluency is a plus, not a must)
- What they’re looking for 5+ years designing electrical controls for industrial equipment (cranes, material handling, heavy machinery, or custom machine building)
- Real panel design experience: drawings, component selection, BOMsStrong in AutoCAD Electrical (EPLAN or similar works too)
- Understands how PLCs, drives, and power distribution tie together, plus the mechanical sense to see how a machine works
- Siemens a big plus, Allen-Bradley welcomeEE degree preferred, xhqgsiq but serious hands-on design experience counts just as much
- Must be a U.S. citizen (required for their controlled facility)
- Why it’s worth a look
- Involved from the first quote through final drawings
- Small engineering team with real visibility to leadership
- Chance to shape their controls standard$100K-$130K base plus 5-10% profit sharing, 401(k) with 100% match up to 5%On-site in the Youngstown, OH area

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
