Electrical Engineering Manager

Description

This role is focused on designing and delivering power electronics hardware that integrates tightly with firmware, power subsystems, and mechanical assemblies. You’ll guide a team of electrical engineers through full product lifecycles — from concept and prototyping to design validation and transfer to manufacturing.

This is a new product development role, not a maintenance job. You’ll shape CES’s next wave of power electronics platforms, mentor a growing team, and ensure we deliver robust, high-integrity systems that perform in the field. South Portland is a critical execution hub for CES — and you’ll be at the center of making it run.

• Architect and review designs for analog signal conditioning, digital interfaces, MCUs, sensors, and communication buses (e.g., CAN, UART, RS485)
• Drive product builds across EVT/DVT/PVT, managing technical risk and coordinating with contract manufacturers and test partners
• Lead the Power Electronics EE team responsible for Power Electronics hardware design, development, and validation for CES energy products
• Partner closely with firmware, mechanical, test, and manufacturing teams to deliver highly integrated, production-ready designs
• Support sustaining improvements and field issue resolution as part of ongoing product maturity
• Deliver full product lifecycle execution: schematic design, layout guidance, bring-up, lab validation, and design for test/manufacture
• Provide technical mentorship, design reviews, and team development leadership

Requirements

The right candidate is execution-driven and capable of scaling a high-performing development team. They are excited and passionate about being in the lab, solving problems alongside the team.

If you are local to MA or New Hampshire, can work from N. Billerica, are open to regular travel to beautiful S. Portland ME and have a desire to lead/manage a small team of highly skilled engineers - do read on!

• Strong background in power electronics design, embedded systems, and board-level hardware architecture
• Leadership experience building or scaling hardware development teams
• Embedded Firmware experience
• BSEE or MSEE with 7+ years of experience in power electronics hardware development
• Experience with production at scale, 1M+ units shipped
• Experience in PCB engineering including fabrication and assembly technologies, strain/stress analysis, thermal management, and connector/cable engineering
• Knowledge of low-power design, sensor integration, or signal integrity optimization
• Experience with energy systems, IoT devices, or embedded hardware in regulated environments
• Track record of cross-functional execution in new product development settings
• Exposure to compliance testing (UL/IEC/EMC) and design transfer to contract manufacturing
• Familiar with design constraints related to thermal, EMC, safety, and manufacturability
• Experience with high quality, high reliability products. Long warranty, high stress environments.
• Prior experience with design documentation, ECO control, and sustaining engineering
• Understanding of mechanical engineering physics such as boundary/force diagrams, stress/strain, 1D thermodynamics, and basic manufacturing techniques (CNC, molding, laser cutting, and 3D printing)
• Hands-on lab experience with board bring-up, validation, debugging, and test automation tools
