Job Description:

Trystar is at the forefront of advancing power solutions, charged and driven by a committed, dynamic team, tackling complex challenges, and creating innovative solutions. Safety and integrity aren’t just buzzwords. They are the ‘North Star’ guiding us as we aspire to wow our customers every day. We’ve created power solutions that are not only durable and unique but are also the result of serious teamwork from every corner of our organization. Individually and collectively, every team member at Trystar plays for each other and strives to deliver unmatched value at scale and 100% accuracy to our customers every single day.

As a big name and pioneer in electrical power solutions, we’re not just part of the power conversation – we’re shaping its future, and we’re doing so across diverse industry sectors including healthcare, data centers, entertainment, education, government, and commercial construction – just to name a few! We’re committed to growing and evolving our product lineup to stay on top of the game, and that includes leaning into sustainable, resilient, and renewable energy solutions.

Our cutting-edge headquarters in Faribault, MN, is partially solar- and wind-powered by our own microgrid! You’ll find that we’re also pushing boundaries across the country at our additional facilities across North America. Together, we are Trystar, where we power the future and nurture innovation for a brighter tomorrow.

Trystar’s team members are our most important asset, and we expect this position to play a critical role in achieving our strategic objectives. We are looking for a Principal Applications Engineer who thrives in a customer-facing role and enjoys being a trusted technical advisor. In this position, you will serve as the primary technical liaison between Trystar and our customers, supporting the Sales, Marketing, and Design Engineering teams. As a technical expert, you’ll provide guidance throughout the design-in process and assist with post-sale support to ensure customer success. You’ll create compelling content—including white papers, design notes, application notes, and blog posts—that address common questions, introduce new products, and strengthen Trystar’s brand and market positioning.

We are looking for people who believe in our guiding principles and values of:

  • Safety – We believe everyone should leave Trystar facilities in the same or better condition than when they arrived.
  • Integrity – We’re honest, transparent, and committed to doing what’s right.
  • Customer focus – We have relentless focus on our customers and their success.
  • Right with speed – We use good judgement, make thoughtful decisions quickly, and execute them with purpose and intensity.
  • Play for each other – We’re a team. We show up for each other and we know that through teamwork we achieve greatness.
  • Champion change – We know adaptation and improvement are requirements to survive and to thrive.
  • Enjoy the journey – We create an environment where our team feels appreciated and has fun along the way.

In this role you will get to:
  • Study customer needs and problem statements, collaborating with the Sales and Marketing teams, and other stakeholders, to provide maximum value.
  • Architect power system solutions and provide technical review and design guidance to support the designs & proposals; electrical designs, panel layouts, conceptional sketches, and single-line diagrams to fit customer needs and site constraints.
  • Identify key electrical components and subsystems, including Trystar components, PLCs, contactors, etc.
  • Advise on applicable electrical codes and their impact on a solution.
  • Evaluate heat dissipation and short-circuit current/electrical protection coordination.
  • Provide general help to customers requiring technical assistance with our products.
  • Author white papers, design notes, application notes, and blog posts.
  • Attend trade shows to support our booth, meet with prospects and customers, and present on technical topics supporting Trystar’s business.
  • Stay current on industry trends, product applications, market activities, and competitive trends, and contribute to translating such trends into strategic roadmaps and projects in collaboration with Sales, Marketing, and R&D.
  • Serve on committees supporting pertinent product certifications and standards.
  • Provide market and customer feedback for product improvements and new product development.
  • Develop market and competitive environment expertise and participate in new product definition and planning.
  • Engage in and lead continuous improvement initiatives throughout a customer’s journey.

Job Requirements:
