Opportunity

Imagine stepping into a role where you are the driving force behind new electronic and electrical products from the first sketch to the moment they hit the shelf. Our confidential employer is looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer who craves ownership and thrives on seeing a project through every stage of development. This is not a position for someone who wants to hand off designs after the concept phase; it is for an engineer who wants to stay hands-on and make a visible impact on a growing product line.

In this role, you will lead the charge on full-cycle product development. You will design schematics, build and test prototypes, and refine designs until they meet performance and reliability standards. You will manage your own timelines, budgets, and quality targets, ensuring that every project stays on track. Beyond pure design, you will conduct feasibility studies, troubleshoot complex issues, and collaborate with manufacturing and outside suppliers to turn prototypes into production-ready products. Your work will span everything from writing specifications to creating Engineering Change Orders, giving you a comprehensive view of the engineering process.

The ideal candidate brings at least five years of electrical design experience, a BSEE or equivalent degree, and a proven ability to use CAD and simulation tools. You have taken products from napkin sketch to manufacturing and understand the financial side of new product development. You are a creative problem-solver who communicates clearly and works well with cross-functional teams. While consumer product experience is a plus, the key is your desire to own projects end-to-end and deliver results.

If you are ready to join a company that values innovation and offers a competitive salary, top benefits, and full relocation assistance, we want to hear from you. This is your chance to work in Mankato, Minnesota, where you can enjoy a great quality of life while doing meaningful engineering work. Apply today to take the next step in your career and become the engineer who makes products happen from start to finish.
