EDUCATION

Degree optional—practical schematic design depth, electrical trade literacy, and high-velocity drafting capability take priority

REQUIREMENTS

US Citizen or Green Card holder residing within a comfortable daily commuting distance (~45 minutes) of the Greater Milwaukee area If you are an Electrical CAD Specialist looking to escape repetitive single-product loops and sluggish corporate red tape, this direct-hire opportunity offers an agile, high-velocity engineering hub. Founded to support the surging demand for smart factory and warehouse automation, our client is a rapidly expanding integration partner that has doubled its revenue annually and recently launched a modern 6,000 sq. ft. UL panel production facility. This organization thrives on technical variety and fast execution. Rather than working on stagnant, templated projects, you will engineer detailed drawing packages for custom multi-axis robotic cells, high-speed conveyor sorters, and software-to-hardware power interfaces. You will collaborate directly with panel build technicians and project engineers in a zero-bureaucracy environment where your schematics translate directly into physical, operating machinery. What You Will Be Doing (Daily Responsibilities)

Architect Electrical Schematics:

Draft, revise, and finalize complete electrical schematics, power distribution systems, and control panel layouts for custom automation machinery.

Manage Large Blueprint Packages:

Produce multi-page drawing sets with an emphasis on accuracy, speed, and adherence to industrial electrical standards.

Map Physical & Robotic Systems:

Translate complex physical equipment layouts—such as robotic welding cells and high-speed sorters—into clean, functional electrical schematics. Partner with

Panel Build Technicians:

Work hand-in-hand with shop floor technicians and project engineers to ensure panel layouts align seamlessly with Bill of Materials (BOM) specs and physical wiring constraints. Optimize for

Manufacturing:

Apply practical electrical component knowledge to design control panels that are streamlined for real-world assembly and field serviceability. What We Are Looking For (Requirements & Qualifications) 5+ years of industrial electrical schematic design experience within a custom machine builder, robotics integrator, or material handling environment.

CAD Ecosystem Mastery:

High proficiency in specialized electrical design software (AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, E-Plan, or Sky-Plan).

Practical Electrical Depth:

Deep understanding of real-world industrial power distribution, relay logic, sensor integration, safety circuits, and control panel design dynamics.

High-Velocity Drafting Execution:

Proven ability to manage multi-page drawing packages efficiently while maintaining flawless accuracy.

Stability & Commute:

A consistent career history and residence within a comfortable commuting distance (~45 minutes) of the Greater Milwaukee area.
