Senior Electrical Automation Engineer
TLDR
Own factory-wide electrical architecture, set shared standards, and lead deployment of equipment and robotic systems.
At Layup Parts, we're developing the technology that will build the future.
We're a manufacturing technology company replacing months of lead time with days, using proprietary software, automation, and advanced manufacturing systems built for speed. Our customers are inventing what's next, in aerospace, defense, robotics, and beyond. To keep up with them, manufacturing has to change. That's what we're building.
We're looking for a Senior Electrical Automation Engineer to set the direction for how electrical engineering is done at Layup. You'll own the electrical architecture across our factory, from the standards and components every team builds on to the power and load planning behind each new machine. This is a senior, hands-on, systems-level role rooted in industrial equipment and industrial automation, spanning industrial controls, control panels and enclosures, wiring and harnessing, production machinery, and robotic systems.
You'll be the electrical lead for our factory automation, robotics, and facilities teams, and you'll manage the outside vendors who build our enclosures and harnesses. You'll also spend real time on the production floor, leading the deployment and integration of new equipment and directing technicians to get it running. We're looking for someone who can think at the architecture level and still pick up a meter when it counts.
