Job description

Lead Electrical Engineer – Product Innovation & Development

Company will provide relocation with a top relocation package!

We're looking for a Lead Electrical Engineer who thrives at the intersection of innovation, hands-on engineering, and technical leadership. This is an opportunity to take ownership of electrical and electronic product development, influence design decisions, and bring exciting new technologies from the drawing board to full-scale production.

You’ll join an established, forward-thinking company that values creativity, technical excellence, and continuous improvement.

If you’re an engineer who loves solving complex challenges, developing products people actually use, and seeing your designs come to life, this could be your next big move.

Role:

Take Products from Concept to Reality

Lead the electrical and electronic design process from initial concept through prototyping, testing, validation, and successful production launch. You’ll have a direct impact on how new products are developed and brought to market.

Be the Technical Leader

Provide direction and guidance to engineering teams, establish project priorities, manage timelines, and keep complex development initiatives moving forward. You’ll balance big-picture thinking with the technical details that make projects successful.

Push the Boundaries of Innovation

Develop new electrical and electronic solutions while finding smarter ways to enhance existing products. Your work will focus on improving performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost-effectiveness without compromising quality.

Solve the Tough Engineering Challenges

Dive into complex technical problems, evaluate designs, troubleshoot issues, and ensure products meet engineering specifications, performance expectations, and established quality standards.

Own the Details That Drive Results

Develop and manage technical documentation, engineering cost estimates, testing strategies, project schedules, resources, and key milestones. You’ll help ensure projects stay on track from initial design through execution.

Connect Engineering with the Bigger Picture

Work closely with manufacturing, operations, suppliers, and cross-functional stakeholders to bridge the gap between innovative product design and efficient, scalable production.

Make Great Designs Even Better

Identify opportunities to improve electrical design approaches, fabrication processes, component selection, and supplier solutions. Your recommendations will directly influence product quality, manufacturing efficiency, and overall performance.

Experience:

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Experience: 7+ years of electrical design engineering experience, ideally with exposure to consumer product development.
• Technical Expertise: Advanced understanding of electronic circuits, components, schematics, electrical design principles, and testing methodologies.
• Leadership: Demonstrated ability to guide engineering teams, establish priorities, and successfully manage complex technical projects.
• Product Development: Experience transforming early-stage product concepts into fully developed, manufacturable designs.
• Engineering Tools: Proficiency with electrical design, simulation, and analysis software.
• Problem-Solving: Strong analytical capabilities and the ability to troubleshoot challenging electrical and electronic issues.
• Collaboration: Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively with engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, and business stakeholders.
• Ownership Mentality: A self-motivated, creative engineer who takes initiative, works independently, and thrives when given responsibility for delivering results.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This isn't just another engineering position. It's an opportunity to influence product innovation, lead meaningful development initiatives, and make a visible impact on the products a company brings to market.

And the company backs that opportunity with a competitive rewards package:

• Competitive Compensation: Attractive base salary with cash profit-sharing opportunities.
• Comprehensive Benefits: Robust benefits coverage, generous paid time off, and paid holidays.
• Retirement Benefits: 401(k) with company matching contributions, plus additional retirement benefits.
• Continued Growth: Professional development programs, technical training, and tuition assistance.
• Great Culture: A casual, collaborative workplace where ideas are valued, teamwork matters, and company events bring people together.
• Employee Perks: Discounts on outdoor recreation products.
• Work-Life Support: Employee wellness programs and family-focused benefits.
