Electrical Engineer - Process Optimization

Kelly® Engineering is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer with a background in electronic design for a high-impact 12 month contract opportunity supporting a global leader in automotive technology.

Overview

Our client is a leading global supplier of in-vehicle infotainment, ADAS, and xEV solutions, focused on advancing engineering efficiency, traceability, and compliance.

This role will focus on capturing real-world electrical design and product development workflows and translating them into structured, scalable processes within the UL Stages platform. You will leverage your hands-on design background to ensure engineering workflows are practical, accurate, and aligned with how design teams actually operate.

You’ll act as a bridge between engineering, compliance, and process teams—driving consistency, improving documentation quality, and enabling better lifecycle management across the organization.

Primary Responsibilities

• Lead implementation and configuration of UL Stages for engineering workflow and compliance tracking
• Capture and translate electrical design and product development workflows into structured processes
• Convert existing Excel-based processes and KPIs into standardized workflows within Stages
• Analyze current engineering processes to identify gaps, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities
• Align and standardize workflows across engineering teams
• Develop and document best practices for lifecycle, certification, and compliance workflows
• Train engineering teams on tool usage, process adoption, and documentation standards
• Support integration of AI tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude) to enhance engineering workflows
• Ensure strong traceability, documentation quality, and regulatory compliance
• Troubleshoot and resolve system or workflow-related issues within Stages
  
  

Qualifications

Must-Have

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• Previous hands-on electronic design experience (required)
• 5 years of electrical engineering experience
• Experience working within product development and lifecycle processes
• Strong understanding of how engineering work flows from concept through validation and release
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams (engineering, quality, manufacturing, etc.)
• Ability to translate real-world engineering work into structured processes and documentation
• Ability to operate independently and drive initiatives with minimal oversight
  
  

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with UL Stages or similar platforms (PLM, compliance, or workflow tools)
• Exposure to ASPICE/SPICE or similar traceability/compliance frameworks
• Experience in regulated industries (automotive, aerospace, medical, etc.)
• Familiarity with AI tools applied to engineering workflows or process automation
• Experience with requirements or lifecycle tools (e.g., DOORS, Polarion, Teamcenter, etc.)
