Custom Machine Build Electrician

Orbitform | Jackson, MI | Full-time

Join Our Team

Ever wanted to be the person who makes a multi-ton custom machine actually come alive? At Orbitform, we design and build custom machines that our customers rely on to run their production lines, and we need a Custom Machine Build Electrician who loves wiring things up, chasing down gremlins, and seeing a machine fire up for the first time.

If you get a kick out of solving puzzles with a multimeter in hand, this one's for you.

What You'll Do

• Wire panels and machines from the ground up — basic machine wiring and panel building is your bread and butter
• Perform electrical assembly on our standard and custom-designed machines
• Bring machines to life: perform start-up, debug issues, and help with customer run-offs
• Team up with senior machine builders on the electrical side of custom machine builds
• Be the voice that tells Engineering "here's how we make this better" — your feedback helps eliminate defects and improve our products
• Keep quality front and center so our machines keep performing long after they leave our building
• Jump into cross-functional teams working on new builds and corrective actions
• Work safely and look out for your teammates

What We're Looking For

• 2–4 years of machine wiring or machine servicing experience
• Comfortable reading mechanical assembly and controls drawings
• Solid grasp of mechanical and electrical machine operations, with basic troubleshooting chops
• Familiarity with Word, Excel, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Project
• Bonus points if you've got experience with mechanical assembly, hydraulic/pneumatic plumbing, or wire routing and termination
• Comfortable in a hands-on shop environment with noise, coolant, and temperature swings — hey, that's manufacturing!
• Ability to occasionally lift or move up to 75 lbs

Schedule

Monday–Thursday, 6:00 AM–4:30 PM, 40 hours per week. Regular overtime and frequent weekend work required. Travel is primarily local, with occasional out-of-area or overnight trips.

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
• Short-Term & Long-Term Disability
• Life Insurance
• Aflac
• 10 Paid Holidays
• Paid Time Off (PTO)
