Electrical Engineering Manager

The role

The Electrical Engineering Lead will set the technical direction for electrical systems including inverters, battery management systems, and microgrid interconnect devices. You will lead a team of engineers and drive design from prototype to high-volume production.

What you will do

• Set the electrical architecture across the product line including specs, topology, schematic and layout strategy, bring-up, validation, and reliability.
• Hire, mentor, and lead a team of electrical engineers.
• Set the bar for design rigor, validation, and documentation.
• Drive power converter, battery pack, BMS, and low-voltage embedded design and validation.
• Own end-of-line production testers.
• Work with firmware, mechanical, test, reliability, and manufacturing to move products from prototype to volume.
• Run down the hardest system-level issues across power, controls, and communications.
• Drive design iterations from field data and manufacturing feedback.

Required qualifications

• 7+ years designing electrical systems for energy storage, inverters, EV charging, motor drives, or similar high-power products.
• Products you've taken from architecture through production ramp and field deployment.
• Strong PCB design and hands-on bring-up: you can solder, probe, wire, and debug.
• Control theory applied to power conversion: loop compensation, sensor bandwidth, filtering, and stability.
• A track record of leading or mentoring engineers.

Nice to have

• BSEE or higher with a power electronics focus.
• Transient thermal simulation in MATLAB or Python.
• Embedded systems, microcontrollers, and Python for test automation and data analysis.
• CAN, LIN, or Ethernet.
• Designing products for UL, CSA, and IEC certification.
• High-volume manufacturing and DFM/DFT.
• Electric motor design or mechanical integration.
• Altium preferred
