Your primary role is to support our sales team by quickly drafting professional drawings to complete the order approval process. Each drawing details the transformer’s basic dimensions, properties, and features that were ordered — ensuring we deliver the right transformer and an outstanding customer experience. Using our homegrown tools and CAD library, this process is easy. Data entry is largely automated allowing you to focus on high-level configurations or custom modifications. Additionally, once you have a working knowledge of transformers, you will be a critical part of the review process, catching and preventing costly mistakes.

Beyond drafting, you will support production by designing various parts to repair, modify, or augment the transformers we remanufacture. This includes custom enclosures, interconnects, and sheet metal panels that we outsource to be laser-cut, bent, and welded.

You are an engaged member of the Maddox team that your coworkers rely upon and enjoy working with. You are driven and independent, with a keen understanding of what needs to be done and the initiative to develop the necessary skills to achieve your goals. You are eager to learn and help others. You take ownership of our workflow and improve upon it—making it easy, safe, and productive.

Maddox is expanding quickly, both in size and scope. A competent engineer, who understands our business, will have many opportunities to lead exciting projects and grow within Maddox.

• You are comfortable with prolonged computer work and occasional hands-on tasks.
• You are focused, with excellent attention to detail.
• You are a quick learner; not a know-it-all.
• You prioritize various types of work well and communicate clearly and promptly via phone, email, and chat.
• You work well in a team or independently.
• You have a strong technical background. You enjoy working with all manner of technology and are comfortable working with both hardware and software.

In an industry where lead time is often quoted in years, Maddox has earned a reputation for speed and wins because of it. Customers are assured that we can quickly deliver the right transformer when they receive a detailed drawing and quote shortly after giving us a call. At Maddox, engineering is integral to this process, always ready to provide guidance and support. We design, tackle challenging projects, source specialty components, and communicate with and produce drawings for customers, technicians, and fabricators. To minimize waste, we build our own tools to simplify and automate work whenever possible. These tools power our daily workflow and are essential in emergencies. When a hospital, factory, or city is crippled by a critical transformer failure, we respond swiftly.

Maddox maintains a give-the-best/expect-the-best attitude. Our team is equipped with high-end laptops (mainly Apple), docks, and multiple external monitors. We employ cloud-based solutions that enable our team to work from anywhere. We design using Onshape, a refreshing cloud-native platform comparable to Solidworks.

We are seeking a candidate with exceptional aptitude, attitude, and ambition. Must have CAD experience, be proficient with spreadsheets, and have a solid understanding of mechanical and electrical systems.
