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.

Organization Breakdown
Reporting to the Director of Engineering, the Senior Electrical Engineering Manager will provide technical direction, operational leadership, and strategic guidance for the electrical engineering function. This role partners closely with mechanical engineering, operations, testing, and project management to ensure high-quality, manufacturable designs and successful project execution.

This leader will oversee teams in:
  • LA, 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

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or related field).
  • 10+ years of progressive electrical engineering experience, including at least 5 years in a leadership role.
  • Deep technical expertise with medium-voltage switchgear, power distribution equipment, PDUs, and substation systems.
  • Strong knowledge of UL, ANSI, IEEE, NEC, and similar codes/standards.
  • 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.
