Job description

Overview

Job Summary: The position of Electrical Engineer I in the Service Mobile Products Group will act as the primary medium between the Electrical design, Mobile Design and Engineering, Mobile Production and Mobile Project Management. This role will serve as both the in-house conduit and lead to capture, document, communicate, advise, and receive all related electrical information that exists and changes during the scope of the project. This person will closely follow and observe how the electrical design’s intentions become realized, applied, and implemented during Mobile Production.

This engineer will provide practical, everyday knowledge and expertise in both understanding and communicating the questions and issues that always arise during pre-production, production, and post-production phases, as it pertains to the electrical wiring network. This person will ensure a keen and experienced eye is always focused on the soundness of the electrical wiring and device layout, the proficiency of the implementation and the quality of the testing and evaluation. Having this person consistently involved at different steps in the process will allow for a more comprehensive and informed approach to all aspects of the Mobile electrical designs that can be difficult to fully gauge due to the complex intricacies and nuances inherent in electrical wiring execution and the sometimes-large scale of such designs.
