Job description

Pettibone seeks an Electrical Engineer to join their Engineering team in Baraga, Michigan.

If you like designing systems that actually move, lift, haul, and work hard in the real world, this is a great role. You’ll support rugged, mobile, heavy equipment used in industries like forestry, rail, recycling and scrap handling, construction, biomass, and oil and gas. In other words: this is not theoretical engineering. This is hands‑on, practical, “make the machine work better” engineering.

WHAT WE OFFER
  • Competitive salary aligned with your experience and qualifications.
  • Medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage (employee and family plans available).
  • Health Savings Account and Flex Spending Account.
  • Company paid short‑term and long‑term disability insurance.
  • 401(k) retirement plan with up to 4% company match.
  • Employee Assistance Program.
  • Paid time off (vacation, sick, holidays, and volunteer time—just to name a few).
  • Full‑time position with schedule flexibility (M-F 8am‑4:30pm, or a flexible 4‑day/10‑hour schedule).
  • Great onboarding and training program.
  • A safe, team‑oriented, fun work environment.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
  • Design and maintain electrical and control system designs across product lines.
  • Develop electrical systems for off‑road vehicles and mobile equipment.
  • Lead electrical & control system projects while managing cost, timelines, and coordination across teams.
  • Select components, build system models, generate BOMs, complete risk assessments, and troubleshoot issues.
  • Analyze drawings, specs, documentation, models, and test results to make sure designs meet engineering standards and vehicle performance needs.
  • Lead design reviews to ensure systems are practical, reliable, manufacturable, and built to spec.
  • Develop performance specifications, test plans, procedures, and calibration methods.
  • Support prototype builds, field testing, and validation of electrical and control system performance.
  • Help internal teams, dealers, and end users in resolving electrical and control system issues.
  • Drive continuous improvement and help shape the electrical/control system strategy for future products.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Electrical Engineering Technology required.
  • 3 or more years of Electrical Engineering experience required.
  • Experience with electrical and control system design, development, and troubleshooting required.
  • Experience with mobile equipment, forestry, or mining equipment preferred.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong working knowledge of MS Office, SolidWorks, Parker IQAN, and Zuken E3 Wireworks preferred.
  • Our electrical systems are 12 VDC and 480 VAC; experience with 12 Volt DC is a plus.
  • Ability to travel occasionally, including overnight travel, as needed.
