About The Position

The Electrical Engineer supports the design, development, validation, and implementation of electrical systems for generator set applications, with an emphasis on wiring harnesses, electrical schematics, and integration of controllers, sensors, switches, ECMs, alternators, and related accessories. Working under the guidance of senior engineers and a system engineer, this role contributes to New Product Development (NPD) projects by developing electrical designs, supporting manufacturing and validation activities, troubleshooting issues, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable and cost-effective solutions. The position develops wiring harness designs for Rehlko diesel and gas generator sets; creates and maintains electrical schematics and wiring documentation; and develops harness routing that meets electrical, mechanical, serviceability, and manufacturing requirements. It generates engineering drawings and bills of materials, coordinates with suppliers on Design for Manufacturability, and supports mounting brackets and other electrical-component hardware. The Electrical Engineer also participates in design reviews, risk assessments, Design FMEA, prototype builds, validation testing, and product launches; investigates electrical failures in laboratory and field environments; and maintains engineering documentation in Windchill and SAP. The role works frequently with system engineers, project engineers, CAD designers, purchasing, supply chain, and manufacturing engineering, and occasionally with service engineering. It interfaces with suppliers of electrical components, wiring harnesses, connectors, and related hardware. Limited domestic and international travel of less than 10% may be required.
