Core Responsibilities

The successful candidate will demonstrate expertise in as many of the following areas as possible:

Electromechanical & Controls Product Development

Support product development activities from concept through detailed design, prototyping, validation, and production launch, following established Product Lifecycle and New Product Introduction (NPI / PLCM) processes.
Contribute to electromechanical system design and integration, including power distribution, control hardware, and field wiring, with emphasis on system‑level decision making rather than detailed component design.
Provide working‑level technical oversight of electrical controls and panel design, including review of electrical schematics, panel layouts, wiring diagrams, and I/O architectures to ensure alignment with functional, safety, and manufacturing requirements.
Coordination with controls and electrical design specialists rather than acting as the primary detailed designer.
Working closely with Product Management, support the translation of User Requirement Specifications (URS) into clear system‑level technical requirements and design inputs through the creation of Functional Requirement Specifications (FRS) to guide subsequent engineering design and development.
Provide working‑level guidance on electronics and PCB‑related aspects of product development, including obsolescence management, sufficient to support design trade‑offs, supplier discussions, and risk assessments, while leveraging dedicated electronics expertise as required.
Support and participate in hands‑on testing at component, subsystem, and system levels to mitigate technical risk and validate design intent.
Participate in design reviews, prototype builds, and verification activities; support design refinements through formal design change processes (ECR/ECN).
Ensure development and release of production documentation appropriate to project phase and manufacturing needs, in collaboration with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineering teams.

Manufacturing Engineering & New Product Introduction (NPI)

Support manufacturing readiness activities for new products, including pilot builds, design transfer, and production ramp‑up.
Apply manufacturing engineering principles to ensure designs meet Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), Design for Test (DFT), and Design for Reliability (DFR) objectives.
Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams to resolve production issues and implement corrective and preventive actions.

Project Management & Cross‑Functional Leadership

Define project objectives, scope, deliverables, timelines, and success criteria aligned with product roadmaps and commercialization plans.
Develop and maintain detailed project plans, schedules, and resource plans in collaboration with engineering leadership.
Develop and manage project budgets for labor, materials, prototypes, tooling, and external services, and track actuals against budget.
Prepare project forecasts, risk assessments, and status reports for engineering and leadership teams.
Coordinate activities across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and commercial teams to achieve development and launch milestones.
Lead project meetings, design reviews, and stakeholder updates; proactively identify risks, drive issue resolution, and adjust plans as required.
Ensure compliance with internal engineering standards, quality systems, safety requirements, and applicable regulations

Qualifications

Education

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Controls Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
Non‑engineering degrees may be considered with strong, directly relevant technical and project leadership experience.
PMP or formal project management training is considered an asset.

Experience

3–7 years of experience in electromechanical product development, electrical systems, manufacturing engineering, or New Product Introduction (NPI)–related roles.
Experience supporting, reviewing, or contributing to electrical control systems and panel designs for industrial or automation products.
Working‑level knowledge of electronics and PCB manufacturing sufficient to support project decisions, engage suppliers, and collaborate effectively with specialist engineers.
Experience contributing to the integration of mechanical, electrical, and controls subsystems within prototype or production‑ready products.
General understanding of manufacturing processes, materials, GD&T, and design‑for‑manufacturability principles, with exposure gained through product development or NPI activities.
Experience supporting or participating in prototype builds, pilot production runs, and product launches, with increasing ownership of deliverables over time.
Familiarity with CAD, electrical schematic, and PLM tools (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD Electrical / EPLAN, Altium viewer, or similar).
Exposure to project management practices and tools (MS Project, Miro, Jira, or similar), with interest in taking on greater project ownership.
Strong communication, problem‑solving, and cross‑functional collaboration skills, particularly in environments with evolving requirements and tight timelines.

Health, Safety & Environmental

All employees have the responsibility to work in a safe manner and report any health, safety or environmental concern to their manager or supervisor in a timely manner.

Health, Safety and Environment include:

Work in compliance with divisional health, safety and environmental procedures
Refrain from removing or altering safety devices or guarding unless hazardous energies are controlled through lockout-tagout methods
Report any unsafe conditions or unsafe acts
Report defect in any equipment or protective device
Ensure that the required protective equipment is used for the assigned tasks
Attend all required health, safety and environmental training
Report any accidents/incidents to supervisor
Assist in investigating accidents/incidents
Refrain from engaging in any prank, contest, feat of strength, unnecessary running or rough and boisterous conduct
