Original 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.

- A safe, team-oriented, fun work environment.
WHAT YOU'LL DO. You'll design, develop, improve, and support electrical and control systems for off-road vehicles and mobile heavy equipment.
- 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. We're looking for someone who is technically strong, practical, organized, and comfortable working with people across the business.
- 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.
