I’m partnered with a leading company in the Power Electronics and Critical Power Industry as they look to hire a Power Electronics Engineering Section Manager. This is a key leadership role supporting their commercial UPS and Battery product lines — the systems that keep data centers, hospitals, and critical infrastructure running reliably.

This position is ideal for someone with a strong background in power electronics, UPS systems, battery energy storage, or power conversion, who also enjoys developing engineering talent and driving product improvement initiatives.

Why This Role Is Compelling

• You’ll lead an established engineering team working on high-reliability power systems used in mission‑critical environments.
• The role is both strategic and hands‑on — overseeing engineering scope while remaining close to product performance, testing, and innovation.
• You will have direct impact on product evolution, operational reliability, and cross‑functional collaboration across R&D, Quality, Service, Sales, and global product groups.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage the engineering activities for existing UPS and Battery product families.
• Mentor and develop a team of engineers, supporting training, performance feedback, and career growth.
• Drive product enhancements and improvements to align with business and technical objectives.
• Oversee testing and characterization of UPS and battery systems, ensuring high quality and reliability.
• Support field service, quality, and customer teams on technical issues and root‑cause investigations.
• Collaborate globally with overseas R&D teams on product development and continuous improvement.
• Participate in project bids and reviews, ensuring technical alignment and feasibility.
• Manage section budgets, resource planning, and organizational efficiency.

What They’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or related discipline).
• 7+ years working with UPS systems, battery solutions, or power quality / power conversion equipment.
• 3+ years of engineering leadership / management experience.
• Strong background in power electronics (inverters, converters, switching devices like IGBT/MOSFET/SiC/GaN).
• Proficiency in lab testing, instrumentation, and technical reporting.
• Excellent communication and cross‑functional collaboration skills.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Has designed or supported medium‑to‑high power UPS or BESS systems.
• Loves developing people and improving engineering processes.
• Can interface confidently with manufacturing, quality, sales, and service teams.
• Wants to have a voice in product evolution and technology direction.
