Electromechanical Engineering Manager

You’ll be joining a global leader in electrical safety and predictive maintenance. We pioneered Permanent Electrical Safety Devices (PESDs) and created the industry-standard panel interface connection that allows technicians to work more safely without opening energized electrical enclosures. Our solutions also include voltage indicators, test points, lockout/tagout.

 

This is a Direct Hire role.

What you will be doing as a Electromechanical Engineering Manager…
1) Lead the electromechanical portfolio (hands-on + strategic)
· Be the senior technical resource across mechanical enclosures, electrical circuits, embedded hardware, and firmware.
· Jump in to solve tough design, test, manufacturing, support, or certification challenges.
· Drive designs that balance performance, reliability, cost, and manufacturability.

2) Build and lead a high-performing team
· Manage and mentor engineers across mechanical, electrical, and embedded disciplines.
· Set expectations, coach performance, run reviews, and create development plans.
· Partner with recruiting/HR to attract and retain top engineering talent.
· Coordinate with the Engineering Project Lead on sprint output and delivery timelines.

3) Own certifications + compliance execution
· Lead certification readiness and success across UL, ISO, EX/ATEX, SIL, CSA, and FCC (as applicable).
· Maintain regulatory files and coordinate external labs/consultants.
· Stay current on changes to standards that could impact product design.

4) Raise the bar on design quality + manufacturing readiness
· Run regular design reviews and ensure best practices across teams.
· Improve reliability and reduce defects through strong engineering process.
· Partner with Operations on documentation systems (PDM/ERP integration) and release discipline.

5) Manage partners and resources
· Select and manage contract engineering support when needed.
· Ensure outside resources meet quality, documentation, and timeline standards.

6) Drive engineering business fundamentals
· Partner with CTO/Finance to plan and track engineering budgets and project spend.
· Identify and support patentable innovation in partnership with leadership.

What success looks like (first 6-12 months)
· Engineering team is aligned, productive, and delivering predictable outcomes.
· Certification efforts are organized, proactive, and "no surprises."
· Design reviews produce clear decisions and better product quality.
· Products ship with fewer defects and smoother manufacturing handoffs.
· Documentation, PDM discipline, and change control improve measurably.
