Generac
Overview
Electrical Engineering Manager
role at
Generac . Lead power electronics hardware design for energy storage and control systems, and guide a team of electrical engineers through full product lifecycles from concept and prototyping to design validation and transfer to manufacturing. Key Responsibilities
Lead the Power Electronics EE team responsible for power electronics hardware design, development, and validation for CES energy products Deliver full product lifecycle execution: schematic design, layout guidance, bring-up, lab validation, and design for test/manufacture Architect and review designs for analog signal conditioning, digital interfaces, MCUs, sensors, and communication buses (e.g., CAN, UART, RS485) Partner closely with firmware, mechanical, test, and manufacturing teams to deliver highly integrated, production-ready designs Drive product builds across EVT/DVT/PVT, managing technical risk and coordinating with contract manufacturers and test partners Provide technical mentorship, design reviews, and team development leadership Support sustaining improvements and field issue resolution as part of ongoing product maturity Minimum Qualifications
BSEE or MSEE with 7+ years of experience in power electronics hardware development Strong background in power electronics design, embedded systems, and board-level hardware architecture Hands-on lab experience with board bring-up, validation, debugging, and test automation tools Familiar with design constraints related to thermal, EMC, safety, and manufacturability Track record of cross-functional execution in new product development settings Prior experience with design documentation, ECO control, and sustaining engineering Experience with high quality, high reliability products. Long warranty, high stress environments. Experience in PCB engineering including fabrication and assembly technologies, strain/stress analysis, thermal management, and connector/cable engineering Preferred Qualifications
Experience with energy systems, IoT devices, or embedded hardware in regulated environments Exposure to compliance testing (UL/IEC/EMC) and design transfer to contract manufacturing Experience with production at scale, 1M+ units shipped Knowledge of low-power design, sensor integration, or signal integrity optimization Leadership experience building or scaling hardware development teams Embedded Firmware experience Understanding of mechanical engineering physics such as boundary/force diagrams, stress/strain, 1D thermodynamics, and basic manufacturing techniques (CNC, molding, laser cutting, and 3D printing) Why Join Us
This is a new product development role, not a maintenance job. You’ll shape CES’s next wave of power electronics platforms, mentor a growing team, and ensure we deliver robust, high-integrity systems that perform in the field. South Portland is a critical execution hub for CES — and you’ll be at the center of making it run. Job Details
