Electrical Engineer at Graco

Electrical Engineers at Graco design and develop hardware and software applications for existing and newly developed products.

“Electrical engineers at Graco are electrical engineers. We aren't hardware engineers or software engineers or system engineers. At Graco you have the opportunity to be any or all of these. You are able to work on embedded hardware, embedded software, web-based software, system design, test systems; you name it. Each and every facet is available to you. Electrical engineers also work closely with mechanical engineers and designers to make sure everything in the complex machine being designed works together. When the design is done, Graco's local manufacturing makes implementation easy. The projects are hands-on and everyone brings new knowledge. I love my job at Graco. There is rarely monotony and I'm excited what each day will bring.”

–Adriana M., Project Engineer Lead

Mechanical engineers at Graco range from entry to senior-level positions and participate as members of new product development teams. They work closely with electrical and manufacturing engineers, marketing personnel and procurement specialists to launch innovative, high quality products that safely handle our customers' most demanding applications.

“Graco has provided many opportunities to grow my career in product design. We are a company that is large enough to provide many challenging opportunities, but small enough that an individual can make an impact on the business. I am proud to work for a company that values new products as a growth driver and reflects this commitment by investing over 4.5% of revenue in new product development. This investment is much higher than our peer group average.”
