• Support integration of PLC-based control systems through validation, troubleshooting, diagnostics and commissioning activities.

• Work with component suppliers and contract manufacturers to ensure products meet design requirements.

• Lead and coordinate outsourced electrical design and panel-manufacturing activities, including requirements definition, design review, supplier issue resolution, qualification, deliverable acceptance, and verification of conformance.

• Evaluate alternative electrical components and technologies to support business continuity, product lifecycle and cost optimization objectives.

• Generate and maintain BOMs, routings, drawings, specifications, and engineering documentation.

• Lead assigned electrical engineering workstreams by defining scope, technical deliverables, risks, priorities, timelines, and status updates.

• Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, FMEA activities, and engineering problem-solving efforts.

• Identify and implement improvements in product quality, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, and operational efficiency.
• Establish and improve electrical engineering standards, design guidelines, verification practices, and technical best practices.

• Provide technical guidance, design-review support, coaching and mentoring to engineers, designers and manufacturing technicians.

• Drive continuous improvement of electrical engineering standards, design practices, and technical governance.

• Perform other duties as assigned.
