Job Description

Electrical Systems & Manufacturing Engineer

Role Purpose 

Serve as the company-wide technical authority for electrical systems while also owning the manufacturability, repeatability, tooling, and quality of electrical/harness assembly processes. 

What You Own 

• Company electrical architecture and engineering standards across 12V, 48V, and AC systems. 
• Wiring schematics, harness architecture, harness design standards, and electrical BOM/specification discipline. 
• Battery/energy storage, solar, inverter/charger, DC/DC, HVAC electrical integration, and communications/CAN where applicable. 
• Electrical safety, compliance support, validation requirements, and component standardization. 
• Manufacturing engineering for the harness department, including fixtures, tooling, test equipment, error-proofing, and end-of-line testing. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Develop and maintain electrical architecture, schematics, harness designs, specifications, and design standards. 
• Partner with brand Product Engineers & Suppliers partners to translate product requirements into safe, robust electrical systems. 
• Lead next-generation electrical system development where appropriate. 
• Engineer harness manufacturing methods, fixtures, test systems, assembly processes, and quality controls. 
• Standardize components and interfaces across brands where doing so improves reliability, cost, service, or supply resilience. 
• Support electrical prototypes, validation, troubleshooting, field failures, supplier issues, and corrective actions. 
• Develop electrical diagnostic standards and production/end-of-line test methods. 
• Lead training for all electrical installation techs. 

Cross-Functional Responsibilities 

• Maintain a strong technical working relationship with all Sr. Product Engineers; organizational reporting to Operations does not change the role’s authority over shared electrical architecture, standards, schematics, harness engineering, and electrical validation requirements. 
• All Sr. Product Engineers on product electrical requirements and integration. 
• Manufacturing Engineering and the harness department on process capability, tooling, fixtures, and test. 
• Quality on electrical validation, failure analysis, compliance evidence, and corrective actions. 
• Supply Chain on electrical suppliers, components, alternates, and technical approvals. 
• Service on diagnostics, field failures, and serviceability improvements. 

Qualifications & Experience 

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, mechatronics, electromechanical engineering, or closely related discipline; equivalent directly relevant experience considered. 
• Typically, 5-8+ years of electrical systems engineering experience in vehicles, RVs, marine, industrial equipment, energy systems, or other complex manufactured products. 
• Strong capability in wiring schematics, harness design, DC power systems, batteries, charging, protection, grounding, and electrical troubleshooting. 
• Experience with Victron custom power systems, lithium battery systems, inverters/chargers, solar, CAN/communications, and AC integration highly desirable. 
• Practical manufacturing engineering experience with harness assembly, fixtures, test equipment, error-proofing, and production quality. 

What Success Looks Like 

• Electrical architecture becomes standardized, documented, and scalable across brands. 
• Electrical and harness-related production defects and field failures decline. 
• Advanced power systems are developed with disciplined safety and validation. 
• Harness manufacturing is repeatable, testable, efficient, and well-tooled. 
• Brand teams receive strong electrical expertise without duplicating electrical roles. 

Operating principle : Own the electrical ecosystem from schematic to harness station to field performance.
