Job Title:

Electrical Engineer Job Description This Electrical Engineer role supports the factory build of large electrical systems and sits at the intersection of electrical engineering and hands-on production support. You will work directly with manufacturing and production teams to ensure that complex electrical assemblies are wired, routed, documented, and built efficiently, consistently, and at scale in a high-growth manufacturing environment. Responsibilities + Create and maintain clear, accurate electrical build documentation, including wiring diagrams, panel layouts, wire lists, connection schedules, and electrical bills of material. + Review electrical designs and schematics to ensure they are practical, manufacturable, and suitable for high-volume production. + Standardize wiring methods, routing, labeling, and workmanship so that electrical builds are repeatable, reliable, and aligned with best practices. + Lead and participate in design reviews to improve wire harnesses, wire kits, and electrical sub-assemblies used on the manufacturing floor. + Work closely with technicians and manufacturing teams on the shop floor to troubleshoot build issues, resolve wiring or fit problems, and close gaps in documentation. + Support new product builds and production ramps by updating documentation and refining electrical assembly processes. + Help improve build efficiency, quality, and consistency by identifying and removing non-value-added steps in the electrical assembly process. + Support system builds, testing, and acceptance activities as they relate to electrical integration and overall system performance. + Contribute to the development and maintenance of standard operating procedures (SOPs) and standard work for electrical assembly. + Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure electrical designs, processes, and documentation align with manufacturing capabilities and quality standards. Essential Skills + Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, or a closely related field. + 5+ years of experience supporting electrical builds in a manufacturing environment. + Strong experience working with electrical schematics and wiring diagrams. + Proficiency in developing and interpreting panel layouts and electrical assembly documentation. + Hands-on experience supporting factory electrical builds and resolving build-related issues on the shop floor. + Experience creating work instructions or standard work for electrical assembly processes. + Familiarity with wire harnessing, routing, labeling, and kitting practices in a production environment. + Experience collaborating directly with production and manufacturing teams. + Working knowledge of common electrical standards such as UL, NEC, and NFPA. + Ability to participate in and conduct design reviews focused on manufacturability, process improvement, and quality. + Comfort using CAD tools to support electrical documentation and design review activities. Additional Skills & Qualifications + Exposure to automated wire processing equipment, including cutting, stripping, labeling, and crimping, is a plus. + Experience applying DFMEA or similar methodologies to improve reliability and reduce risk in electrical assemblies. + Experience in manufacturing electrical engineering or process engineering for electrical systems. + Experience developing, implementing, or improving SOPs and standardized processes for electrical production. + Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot wiring and fit issues in a fast-paced environment. + Ability to communicate clearly with technicians, engineers, and production staff to resolve issues and improve processes. + Attention to detail in documentation, labeling, and configuration control for electrical assemblies. + Motivation to work in a rapidly growing environment with significant opportunity for professional growth. + Bonus-eligible role, offering performance-based incentive potential. Work Environment This role is based in a contract manufacturing facility that is clean, organized, and focused on building large electrical systems at scale. You will spend significant time on the shop floor working alongside technicians and production teams, supporting real-time builds and troubleshooting activities. The environment emphasizes collaboration between engineering and manufacturing, with access to modern tools and equipment, including electrical assembly stations and, where applicable, automated wire processing equipment for cutting, stripping, labeling, and crimping. The organization is in a period of rapid growth, offering strong opportunities for career development and increased responsibility as production ramps and new products are introduced.
