A sense of urgency for project completion and a commitment to continuous improvement in engineering excellence are essential.


Join our dynamic team where your self-motivation and sense of urgency will drive you to achieve key project milestones independently, with minimal guidance. You'll enjoy the challenge of juggling multiple projects, prioritizing tasks, and leading both local and remote engineers and designers. Your projects will be completed with high quality, on schedule, and within budget, using data-driven decisions and critical thinking, including risk/reward trade-offs. Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, will be essential as you interact with internal teams and occasionally with end users. This role offers a fulfilling opportunity to make impactful contributions while continuously improving and excelling in your engineering career.



Specific Responsibilities:

• Electrical design for generator controls integrations, including internal genset and ATS controls and harness, as well as the coordination/integration with any third-party electrical systems and manage this integration up to and including the commissioning process.

• Prioritize custom engineering orders that you are responsible for and assure timely completion through engineering to support the committed generator delivery date.
  
  


• Develop moderately complex parametric components, assemblies, drawings, layouts, and specifications with sound understanding of the design intent and fundamental understanding of manufacturing processes when required.
  
  


• Support and contribute information cross functionally and cross culturally to achieve desired process and diesel generator set design results.
  
  


• Work with mechanical engineers and designers to ensure their design meets the customer's needs and integrate into the engineering specials package.
  
  


• Work with Purchasing and Buyers to ensure that purchased parts are clearly identified and ordered on time.
  
  


• Examine and approve custom designs that are assigned to you.
  
  


• Maintain schedule for assigned projects and deliver results on time. Be perceptive to risks and benefits required to investigate and correct design problems.
  
  


• Execute changes or modifications based on sound business judgment.
  
  


• Initiate and support continual improvement initiatives to streamline internal business processes and support systems upgrades. Actively seek out inefficiencies in the custom order process to pursue continuous improvement opportunities.
  
  


• Provide technical leadership to other team members.
  
  


• Support the sales teams' efforts to win projects and customers, which will occasionally require preparing and presenting technical presentations and white papers.
  
  


• Support the field service team on highly complex challenges at the customer site, providing technical solutions and troubleshooting recommendations
