Consulting Electrical EngineerMunro & Associates is recognized globally for teardown, benchmarking, cost analysis, product improvement, and practical engineering insight. For more than thirty years, Munro has helped leading manufacturers understand what is inside competitive products, what those products cost to build, and how they can be engineered better.Our work spans automotive, EVs, aerospace, defense, robotics, consumer products, industrial equipment, and emerging technologies. Each project brings a different product, customer challenge, and opportunity to create measurable impact.Position SummaryMunro is seeking a motivated Electrical Engineer who is passionate about analyzing electrical systems, solving complex engineering challenges, developing cost models, and delivering actionable recommendations to customers.This role is ideal for an engineer who wants to move beyond a traditional design-focused position and develop broader consulting expertise.
The successful candidate will support and lead technical evaluations involving electrical systems, electronics, power distribution, embedded controls, battery systems, advanced technologies, and electrical cost analysis across multiple industries.As a Consulting Electrical Engineer, you will work directly with customers and cross-functional teams to evaluate products, identify opportunities for improvement, benchmark competitive technologies, perform electrical costing and should-cost analysis, and communicate findings through technical reports, presentations, and workshops.Why This Role Is DifferentThis position provides direct exposure to customer-facing engineering consulting work. Rather than focusing on a single product or technology, you will engage with a wide variety of electrical systems, emerging technologies, and cost optimization initiatives.You will have the opportunity to:Take ownership of meaningful technical workstreams early in your careerEvaluate real-world electrical systems, components, and architecturesAnalyze schematics, wiring diagrams, PCB designs, electrical BOMs, and test dataDevelop cost models for electrical systems including wiring harnesses, PCBs, electronic control units (ECUs), sensors, power electronics, batteries, and electrical architecturesParticipate in customer workshops, technical reviews, and on-site project initiativesPresent technical findings and recommendations to engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, and executive-level audiencesLearn directly from senior consultants with expertise in product design, manufacturing, benchmarking, teardown analysis, and cost optimizationDevelop consulting, communication, and project leadership skillsThis is an excellent opportunity for an engineer seeking broader technical exposure, accelerated career growth, and direct customer engagement.Key ResponsibilitiesSupport and lead technical analysis on customer consulting projectsConduct electrical system benchmarking, competitive assessments, and engineering evaluationsAnalyze electrical architectures, power distribution systems, controls, electronics, sensors, and embedded systemsEvaluate wiring harnesses, PCBs, controllers, battery systems, and electronic componentsDevelop detailed cost models and should-cost analyses for electrical and electronic systems, components, and assembliesAnalyze electrical bills of materials (BOMs), supplier quotations, commodity pricing, manufacturing processes, and sourcing strategies to determine product costsPerform teardown-based electrical cost analysis by evaluating component content, manufacturing methods, supplier sourcing strategies, and competitive product architecturesIdentify opportunities to reduce cost, improve reliability, simplify designs, and enhance product performanceSupport customer cost reduction and value engineering initiatives through actionable recommendationsAnalyze engineering drawings, schematics, bills of materials, test reports, and physical hardwareSupport teardown and benchmarking activities involving electrical and electronic systemsDevelop clear technical reports, presentations, and customer deliverablesPresent findings and recommendations to customer engineering teams and senior leadershipParticipate in customer workshops focused on product improvement, cost reduction, manufacturing optimization, and innovationCollaborate with multidisciplinary teams including mechanical, manufacturing, software, and cost engineering professionalsTranslate technical observations into practical and actionable recommendationsBuild increasing responsibility for project deliverables, customer interaction, and technical leadershipIdeal Candidate ProfileThe ideal candidate is a technically strong engineer who enjoys solving real-world problems, learning new technologies, understanding cost drivers, and working directly with customers.You are likely a good fit if you:Have 3–7 years of electrical engineering experienceEnjoy troubleshooting, analysis, and hands-on engineering workAre motivated by understanding how products function, what drives their cost, and how they can be improvedAre comfortable working independently and taking ownership of projectsCommunicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiencesHave strong analytical and problem-solving abilitiesEnjoy identifying opportunities to improve value by balancing performance, quality, manufacturability, and costAre interested in consulting, customer engagement, and technical leadershipWant exposure to a broad range of products, industries, and technologiesQualificationsBachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related engineering discipline3–7 years of experience in electrical engineering, electronics, controls, embedded systems, power systems, or related fieldsStrong analytical and troubleshooting skillsStrong written and verbal communication skillsProficiency with Microsoft Excel and PowerPointAbility to interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, electrical drawings, and technical specificationsAbility to analyze electrical BOMs, supplier quotations, manufacturing costs, and commodity impactsExperience working with electrical
