The Opportunity

We are seeking a technically strong, customer-facing transformer specialist to drive adoption of Nomex® insulation systems across North America.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, customer engagement, and market strategy —working directly with transformer OEMs to influence design decisions, solve technical challenges, and identify new opportunities in a rapidly growing market.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with transformer design engineers at OEMs to specify insulation systems and influence design decisions
• Support both dry-type (VPI) and liquid-filled transformer applications
• Engage directly with engineering, manufacturing, and operations teams to solve technical challenges
• Travel across the US, Canada, and Mexico to build relationships and support customers on-site
• Work alongside sales to strengthen customer engagement and uncover new opportunities
• Identify emerging trends and bring forward new application ideas and market insights
• Support technical problem-solving, testing interpretation, and performance optimization
• Participate in industry groups, standards discussions, and technical forums

What We’re Looking For/Required

• Experience in transformer design, manufacturing, or engineering (typically 3–5+ years)
• Bachelors or above degree in Electrical Engineering or related major
• Hands-on understanding of transformer systems and how they are built
• Ability to work directly with technical stakeholders in customer environments

Preferred

• Customer-facing or applications engineering experience
• Knowledge of electrical insulation systems and materials
• Familiarity with industry standards (IEEE, UL, IEC)
• Existing relationships within transformer OEMs or utilities

Success Profile

• Strong communicator who can translate technical concepts into real-world solutions
• Comfortable operating both in engineering discussions and customer-facing environments
• Naturally curious and proactive in identifying opportunities
• Motivated to move beyond a purely desk-based technical role

Role Scope

• Region: United States, Canada, and Mexico
• Travel: Approximately 25%

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary aligned to experience and market conditions (generally within a broad professional range)
• Target annual bonus opportunity
• Comprehensive benefits package

Why This Role is Compelling

• Move beyond a single design role into a position with broad industry influence
• Work across multiple OEMs and applications rather than a single product line
• Gain visibility across engineering, business strategy, and customer engagement
• Contribute to solutions supporting electrification, infrastructure growth, and emerging energy demands
