Full Job Description

Automated Machine Systems is looking for a Junior Electrical Controls Designer to support the electrical design and documentation of custom automation equipment.

This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to grow in industrial automation, electrical controls, machine design, PLC programming, and troubleshooting. The role is especially well-suited for someone who has recently completed or is close to completing a program such as GRCC’s Electrical Controls Engineering Technology program.

This position will start primarily with creating, copying, editing, and updating electrical schematics in AutoCAD. Much of the work will begin from existing AMS drawings, examples, and proven machine designs. You will not be expected to design complex systems from a blank page on day one. When something falls outside of the ordinary, guidance will be provided by experienced team members.

Over time, this role can grow into more independent electrical design work, PLC programming, machine debug, startup support, and troubleshooting.

What You’ll Do

Create and update electrical schematics using AutoCAD

Use existing AMS drawings and templates as starting points for new equipment prints

Copy, paste, edit, and revise electrical prints for custom automation equipment

Update device tags, wire numbers, I/O references, panel components, and field wiring pages

Assist with electrical Bills of Material

Review drawings for accuracy, consistency, and completeness

Make drawing updates based on engineering, assembly, debug, and customer feedback

Work with controls engineers, mechanical designers, assemblers, and project leads

Learn AMS electrical design standards and customer-specific requirements

Support documentation updates during machine build, debug, and startup

Grow toward PLC programming, debugging, troubleshooting, and more independent design work

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who is detail-oriented, willing to learn, and interested in building a career in industrial automation and controls.

A strong candidate may have:

Recent education or training in electrical controls, automation, mechatronics, or a related technical field

Familiarity with electrical schematics, control panels, PLCs, sensors, motors, VFDs, or industrial wiring

Basic AutoCAD experience, or the ability to learn AutoCAD quickly

Strong attention to detail

Ability to follow examples, standards, and existing designs

Willingness to ask questions before guessing

Interest in PLC programming, machine debug, and troubleshooting

Good communication skills

A team-first attitude

Helpful, But Not Required

Experience with AutoCAD Electrical

Experience reading electrical prints

Exposure to PLCs, HMIs, VFDs, sensors, safety circuits, or industrial networks

Hands-on wiring, panel building, maintenance, robotics, or machine troubleshooting experience

Internship, lab, school project, or work experience related to industrial controls

Growth Opportunity

This position is intended to grow with the right person. The initial focus will be electrical schematic creation and documentation support, but as your skills develop, you may take on more responsibility in:

Independent electrical design

PLC and HMI programming

Machine debug

Startup support

Troubleshooting

Customer acceptance testing

Continuous improvement of AMS electrical standards

This is a strong first step for someone who wants to become a Controls Engineer, Electrical Designer, Automation Technician, or PLC Programmer.

Why Join AMS?

At AMS, you will work on real custom automation equipment used in industrial production environments. You will learn how machines are designed, documented, built, wired, debugged, and improved. You will be surrounded by experienced people who can help you build practical, hands-on controls knowledge while contributing to real projects.

Apply

Interested candidates should submit a resume and be prepared to discuss any relevant coursework, projects, AutoCAD experience, electrical controls training, or hands-on technical experience.

Pay: $22.00 - $28.00 per hour

Benefits:

401(k)
Dental insurance
Health insurance
Life insurance
Paid time off
Retirement plan
Vision insurance

Work Location: In person
