Electrical Design Engineer – Power & Magnetics (Entry-Level / Early Career)Build It. Test It. Learn It. Own It. Most early-career engineering roles put you in a corner.
This one doesn't. Our client is a specialized engineering and manufacturing company that designs and builds custom power solutions used in real-world applications across industrial automation, medical technology, and advanced systems. You won't just support someone else's work. You'll be involved in it. You'll learn how magnetics actually work—not just in theory, but in real products.
You'll spend time in the lab. You'll work alongside experienced engineers. And you'll see designs go from concept to production. If you want to accelerate your learning and build real engineering skills, this is that opportunity.What You'll Do:Support the design of magnetic components (transformers, inductors, chokes) used in power conversion systemsAssist with translating requirements into practical, manufacturable designsBuild and test prototypes in a lab environmentWork alongside senior engineers on design validation and troubleshootingSupport manufacturing with product releases and production issuesHelp troubleshoot field and production problemsLearn core magnetics principles through hands-on workContribute to continuous improvement in design and testing processesWhat You Bring:Background in Electrical Engineering or related field (degree helpful, not required)Exposure to one or more of the following: Power electronicsSwitch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS)Circuit design or hardware developmentInterest in hands-on engineering (lab work, testing, building)Basic understanding of electrical fundamentals: Circuits, power, signalsWillingness to learn magnetics design (transformers, inductors)Ability to take direction and learn quickly in a fast-paced environmentImportant to Know:This is not a pure desk or simulation roleYou will spend time in the lab and working with hardwareYou will be expected to learn quickly and take on more responsibility over timeYou will be working alongside experienced engineers who will help develop your skillsWhat Will Set You Apart:Hands-on project work (school, internship, personal builds)Experience with lab equipment and testingExposure to power electronics or hardware designCuriosity and willingness to ask questions and learnWho Thrives Here:Engineers who want to learn by doingPeople who prefer hands-on work over theory-only rolesIndividuals who want broad exposure, not narrow specialization early onPractical problem-solversWhy Make the Move:Learn magnetics from experienced engineersWork on real products—not just simulationsGain exposure across design, testing, and manufacturingBuild skills faster in a smaller, hands-on teamSee the impact of your workCompensation & Location:Base salary: $70,000 – $100,000 (depending on experience)Bonus potential includedLocation: Milwaukee, WI (north suburbs – Ozaukee County)Onsite roleRelocation support may be availableMust be authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future sponsorshipApply now to be considered.
