Base pay range $120,000.00/yr - $180,000.00/yr
Role Overview We are seeking an experienced
Electrical Engineer
with a strong background in power distribution, switchgear, and industrial electrical systems to join a rapidly growing manufacturing organization. This role is application-focused and hands‑on, centered on designing, supporting, and delivering custom electrical power distribution solutions for industrial and mission‑critical customers.
This is not a theoretical, research, or software‑focused engineering role. Engineers in this position are deeply involved in customer collaboration, practical design, manufacturing support, and troubleshooting, with regular time spent on the manufacturing floor.
The position exists due to sustained business growth and increased customer demand that has outpaced current engineering capacity.
Key Responsibilities
Design custom and scalable electrical power distribution systems, including switchgear and power distribution centers
Translate customer requirements into safe, reliable, and manufacturable electrical designs
Develop electrical schematics, one‑line diagrams, and detailed drawings using
AutoCAD
Support product standardization efforts while maintaining flexibility for customer‑specific needs
Power Distribution & Medium Voltage Systems
Design and support low‑ and medium‑voltage electrical systems, typically up to approximately 35kV
Apply best practices related to:
Power reliability and redundancy
Generator transfer systems
Medium‑voltage switchgear and distribution equipment
Contribute technical expertise for mission‑critical applications such as data centers and heavy industrial environments
Manufacturing & Shop Floor Support
Spend regular time on the manufacturing floor (typically up to ~2 hours per day as needed) to:
Support fabrication, assembly, and testing
Troubleshoot electrical issues
Collaborate with manufacturing and quality teams
Ensure designs are practical, manufacturable, and aligned with production capabilities
Participate in factory acceptance testing (FAT) and commissioning activities as required
Customer & Cross‑Functional Collaboration
Work directly with customers, sales, and project teams to clarify technical requirements
Provide technical guidance throughout the lifecycle of a project—from concept through delivery
Support continuous improvement initiatives to enhance product quality, reliability, and delivery timelines
Required Qualifications Experience
Typically 5–15 years of electrical engineering experience (flexible based on skill set)
Strong background in one or more of the following:
Switchgear
Electrical systems for data centers, oil & gas, utilities, or heavy industrial applications
Experience in application engineering or manufacturing‑support environments is strongly preferred
Technical Skills
Proficiency in
AutoCAD
for electrical design and documentation
Experience with medium‑voltage systems (up to ~35kV) is highly valued
Familiarity with:
Generator transfer systems
Electrical redundancy and reliability concepts
Experience with
synchronous (sync) transfer systems
is a strong differentiator but not required
Education
Bachelor’s degree in
Electrical Engineering
is common, but not required
Open to candidates with:
Electrical Engineering Technology
Mechatronics
Equivalent hands‑on industry experience
Practical experience is valued over academic pedigree
Work Environment & Expectations
Primarily on‑site role within a manufacturing environment
Engineers are expected to be comfortable working outside of a desk setting
Close collaboration with manufacturing, operations, and leadership
Fast‑paced, growth‑oriented environment with direct visibility into how engineering decisions impact delivery and revenue
Seniority level Mid‑Senior level
Employment type Full‑time
Job function Manufacturing and Construction
