• Drive development of power electronics, control systems, embedded hardware, wiring systems, sensors, and electrical integration
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, software, controls, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams
• Establish engineering standards, best practices, and design review processes
• Support prototype development, testing, troubleshooting, validation, and production readiness efforts
• Oversee supplier selection, technical evaluations, and external engineering partnerships
• Participate in program planning, resource allocation, and technical risk mitigation
• Interface with executive leadership regarding technical direction, timelines, and deliverables
• Support customer-facing technical discussions when needed
Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field required; Master’s degree preferred
• 12+ years of electrical engineering experience with progressive technical leadership responsibilities
• Prior experience leading electrical engineering teams and complex development programs
• Strong background in electrical system design, integration, and troubleshooting
• Experience with power systems, embedded controls, power electronics, or electromechanical systems
• Proficiency with electrical CAD and schematic design tools
