Overview
We are seeking an experienced Senior Electrical Engineering Manager to lead a multi-site electrical engineering organization responsible for the design, development, and testing of medium-voltage switchgear, PDUs, relay/control systems, and substation-related equipment. This is a high-impact technical and leadership role overseeing a team of approximately 15 engineers and technical staff across the U.S. and Canada.

This leader will oversee teams in:
  • Los Angeles, CA: Assistant Engineering Manager, 8 Design Engineers, 1 Drafter, and Electrical Testing Manager
  • Dallas, TX: 2 Electrical Design Engineers and 1 Electrical Test Engineer

  • Define and execute long-term engineering strategies aligned with organizational goals and industry advancement.
  • Guide the design, development, testing, and validation of electrical systems—including switchgear, substation control equipment, protection & control systems, and power distribution products.
  • Stay current with emerging technologies, tools, and industry trends.
People Leadership & Development
  • Lead, mentor, and grow a distributed team of electrical design engineers, test engineers, a subordinate team manager, and technical support staff.
  • Build capability and consistency across sites through onsite coaching, training sessions, and technical reviews.
  • Support recruitment, onboarding, career development, and team succession planning.
  • Foster a culture of innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Operational Excellence & Process Improvement
  • Drive scalable engineering workflows and implement best practices across all locations.
  • Improve standardization in design processes, documentation, and testing methods.
  • Partner with mechanical engineering, manufacturing, project management, and production to enhance design for manufacturability and reduce rework.
  • Manage engineering project schedules, budgets, and resource allocation.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Represent engineering in customer engagements and support strategic customer initiatives.
  • Work closely with business development to address customer needs and drive product reliability and satisfaction.
  • Collaborate across departments to ensure alignment on engineering priorities, product quality, and project delivery.

Qualifications

  • Proven track record leading engineering teams and delivering complex electrical projects.
  • Experience driving process improvements within engineering or manufacturing environments.
  • Ability and willingness to travel regularly to Dallas and Ontario during the workweek.
