Engineering Manager

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to lead a multi-discipline engineering organization supporting engineered-to-order electrical products within a manufacturing environment. This leader will be responsible for execution, performance, and development of engineering teams focused on low-voltage and medium-voltage power distribution equipment.

The role combines hands-on operational leadership with a strong emphasis on people development, process improvement, and performance management. This individual will partner closely with cross-functional teams to ensure engineering deliverables support production schedules, customer commitments, and long-term business growth.

Location

This position is on-site at a manufacturing facility in Humble, TX and requires a consistent on-site presence to collaborate with engineering, operations, supply chain, project management, quality, and commercial teams.

Key Responsibilities

Engineering Execution & Delivery

• Lead day-to-day engineering execution to ensure accurate, complete, and on-time engineering deliverables for engineered-to-order projects.
• Partner cross-functionally with sales, project management, operations, supply chain, and quality to support production schedules and customer expectations.
• Balance workload, capacity, and priorities across low- and medium-voltage engineering teams.
• Proactively identify and remove barriers impacting throughput, quality, or delivery.

People Leadership & Development

• Directly manage and coach engineering leaders overseeing low- and medium-voltage product lines.
• Develop engineering talent through mentoring, training, performance feedback, and succession planning.
• Foster a culture centered on accountability, collaboration, continuous improvement, and technical excellence.
• Support hiring, onboarding, and retention of high-performing engineering professionals.

Process Improvement & Standardization

• Lead initiatives to improve engineering workflows, handoffs, and processes to increase efficiency and scalability.
• Drive design and product standardization to improve manufacturability, reduce complexity, and shorten engineering lead times.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to implement best practices, tools, and systems that support growth.

Metrics, Accountability & Performance Management

• Establish and monitor key engineering performance metrics (e.g., on-time delivery, quality, rework, throughput, capacity utilization).
• Use data-driven insights to identify improvement opportunities and strengthen accountability.
• Implement operating rhythms and performance reviews aligned with business objectives.

Strategic Contribution

• Support engineering strategy aligned with business growth, operational excellence, and customer satisfaction.
• Provide input on technology, tools, and systems investments to support scalable engineering operations.
• Ensure engineering practices align with safety, quality, and regulatory requirements.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 8 years of engineering experience within a manufacturing environment.
• 3 years of experience leading engineering teams, including managing managers.
• Experience scaling engineering organizations in a growth-oriented environment.
• Strong understanding of power distribution equipment (low and/or medium voltage).
• Proven success driving process improvement, standardization, and performance metrics.
• Strong leadership, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
