This role operates in a fast-paced, engineering-driven environment where technical accuracy, proposal quality, and cross-functional coordination are critical to winning and delivering mission-critical infrastructure.\nThis position serves as the senior technical lead for pre-sales ETO engineering activities and is responsible for driving front-end technical alignment, execution readiness, handoff quality, standardization, and engineering process improvements across electrical and mechanical design support functions.\nKey Responsibilities\nFront-End Technical Coordination: Lead coordination activities between Applications Engineering, Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Operations, Sourcing, and Project Management.\nPre-Sales ETO Engineering: Lead and support ETO engineering activities for LV switchboards, switchgear, power distribution equipment, and custom engineered assemblies.\nTechnical Design Direction: Provide technical direction and support for electrical and mechanical design development during the quotation and proposal phase.\nCustomer Specification Review: Review customer specifications, one-line diagrams, technical requirements, and project documentation to ensure compliance with customer expectations and applicable standards.\n Opportunity Support: Support engineered-to-order (ETO) and standard platform opportunities across multiple customer segments.\nCode and Compliance Oversight: Ensure quotation designs align with UL 891, UL 1558, NEC, and customer-specific requirements.\nDesign Development Support: Support development of conceptual layouts, GA drawings, preliminary BOMs, control architectures, and technical submittal documentation.\nTechnical Scope Validation: Review and validate technical scope, component selections, short circuit ratings, bus sizing, protection schemes, metering requirements, and mechanical configurations.\nHandoff Quality: Drive clean order handoff quality and support execution readiness prior to Design Engineering release.\nTechnical Risk Assessment: Lead technical risk assessments related to manufacturability, compliance, sourcing, schedule, and customer requirements during the quotation and proposal phase.\nSourcing Coordination: Coordinate with sourcing and supply chain teams on long lead item considerations, component availability, approved manufacturer lists, and alternate component strategies.\nCustomer Technical Engagement: Support customer technical review meetings and provide technical clarification throughout the proposal process.\nSubmittal Package Support: Support completion and accuracy of initial customer submittal packages during the pre-sales phase.\nProposal Timeline Management: Support quotation schedules and proposal response timelines through effective prioritization and coordination.\nContinuous Improvement: Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on cycle time reduction, quotation accuracy, BOM accuracy, standardization, handoff quality, and design efficiency.\nMetrics and Documentation: Support development and maintenance of engineering KPIs, proposal tracking metrics, and technical documentation processes.\nTechnical Mentorship: Provide technical mentoring and guidance to electrical and mechanical pre-sales design resources.\nDownstream Rework Reduction: Support reduction of downstream engineering revisions, redesign efforts, and execution delays through improved front-end technical validation.\nProject Handoff: Support transition of awarded projects into execution teams through structured technical handoff processes.\nQualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (preferred); Engineering Technology or related technical discipline accepted.\nMinimum 5 years of experience in low voltage power distribution, switchgear, switchboard, or engineered electrical systems.\nStrong understanding of LV power distribution systems, electrical protection, control systems, and mechanical enclosure design.\nStrong knowledge of UL 891, UL 1558, NEC, and related industry standards.\nExperience supporting data center, industrial, utility, or mission critical infrastructure projects.\nAbility to review electrical one-lines, schematics, GA layouts, and BOM structures.\nExperience working within ETO manufacturing environments.\nStrong communication, organizational, leadership, and cross-functional coordination skills.\nExperience with ERP, PDM, and engineering documentation systems preferred.\nPreferred Skills\nExperience with IFS, Oracle, Vault, AutoCAD, SEE Electrical, or equivalent engineering systems.\nExperience supporting large scale data center infrastructure projects.\nUnderstanding of manufacturing processes, design for manufacturability, and cost optimization.\nFamiliarity with seismic, thermal, short circuit, and compliance testing requirements.\nDirect experience with UL 891 switchboard or UL 1558 switchgear design, including drawing package development, breaker schedules, single line diagrams, and BOM structures.\nFamiliarity with LV protection and control systems including overcurrent coordination, arc flash mitigation (NEC 240.87), automatic transfer schemes, and metering and communications integration.\nWork Environment\nBased in Anderson, SC with occasional travel to manufacturing facilities and customer sites as required.\nMay require extended hours during critical proposal phases and customer delivery timelines.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5606,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Servers
