Director of Engineering

You will lead an established engineering function responsible for developing the company's next generation of critical power technologies.

Key responsibilities

will include:

• Lead, mentor and develop a multidisciplinary engineering team of approximately 10 people.
• Establish technical priorities across power conversion, batteries and energy storage.
• Guide engineering programs from initial design and prototyping through validation, production and commercial release.
• Oversee the development of power electronic architectures, controls, battery systems and associated electrical technologies.
• Direct technical work involving BMS, high-voltage systems, embedded controls, magnetics and power semiconductor technologies.
• Identify technologies that can improve future products in areas such as efficiency, reliability, energy density, safety and thermal performance.
• Establish common engineering architectures that can be applied across multiple products.
• Work closely with mechanical, embedded, systems, manufacturing, testing and regulatory teams.
• Assess technical challenges early and establish clear plans to resolve design, performance and safety risks.
• Develop the engineering organization through hiring, coaching, performance management and succession planning.
• Help determine where the business should invest in new technologies and engineering capabilities.

Background

We are looking for an experienced engineering leader with a strong foundation in electrical engineering and power technology.

Ideally, you will bring:

• 10+ years of engineering experience.
• 5+ years managing or leading engineering teams.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
• Experience developing commercial hardware products within power electronics, batteries or energy storage.
• Strong knowledge across several areas including power conversion, BMS, ESS, high-voltage electrical systems, embedded/digital controls or thermal management.
• Experience taking new hardware technologies through design, testing and into production.
• Experience leading complex engineering programs involving multiple technical disciplines.
• Strong people leadership with the ability to develop both senior and junior engineers.

An advanced engineering degree focused on power electronics, electrical energy systems or a related discipline would be beneficial but is not essential.

Package

Base Salary: Up to $220,000

Additional Compensation: Annual bonus + equity

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a sizeable engineering team and play a major role in determining the future technical direction of an established power technology manufacturer as it expands further into power conversion and energy storage.
