Drive or contribute to cross-functional product development and corrective action teams to improve cost, quality, and delivery performance. Provide remote and on-site support for equipment installation, start-up, and commissioning. Answer code and compliance questions with authority, ensuring all systems meet safety and performance standards. Innovate through R&D-value-engineer existing products and help launch new electrical solutions. Improve engineering processes, tools, and documentation to boost accuracy, speed, and quality. Lead or participate in technical reviews from proposal through production release. Analyze and propose electrical design concepts that are practical, compliant, and customer-ready. Qualifications That Shine Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (or related field) with 3-8 years of experience; or Master's degree with 0-6 years of experience; or Associate degree with 10-15 years of experience. Strong understanding of electrical control systems, NFPA, UL, and NEC standards. Hands-on experience with PLC programming, HMI design, and system integration.
