Electrical Controls Engineer | Custom Project-Based Engineering

Are you ready to work on technical solutions that no one else has designed and built?

Everything we engineer is custom and project-based. You won’t do the same thing every day and you will be involved in every element of the project from start to finish.

Recent projects include helicopter test systems, jet engine assembly lines, battery-free AGVs, and leading-edge factory software to name a few.

About Us: RedViking designs, builds, and implements custom manufacturing and assembly solutions, dynamic test systems, custom machinery, and manufacturing operational intelligence. We pair some of the finest engineers with the latest technology and global leaders in Aerospace, Defense, Automotive, Heavy Equipment, and other industries. We help our customers be more productive and sustainable.

Our engineering teams collaborate with stakeholders at all levels from inception to completion and see how their contributions impact all elements of their projects. Current openings reflect additional headcount to accommodate robust growth with additional projects, customers, and markets.

Your day-to-day: As a key member of our engineering team you will provide project-based “cradle to grave” technical support for the design, development, testing, and implementation of automated manufacturing and test systems. You will construct PLC programs from scratch and debug/enhance others from existing platforms. Your input will be key as you participate in team and customer meetings to identify requirements, specifications, and timelines to meet or exceed expectations. Additional compensation and perks with projects that require extensive travel.
