Staff Electrical Engineer

About the role

The Staff Electrical Engineer will serve as a technical leader for Trystar’s Engineer to Order (ETO) load bank product line. This role is responsible for delivering high-quality, custom-engineered solutions that meet customer specifications while ensuring compliance, manufacturability, and lead time targets.

Responsibilities

• Lead the electrical design and execution of custom load bank systems in an Engineer to Order (ETO) Environment, ensuring accuracy, quality, and on-time delivery.
• Translate customer specifications into compliant, manufacturable designs.
• Drive technical ownership of load bank configurations, medium voltage systems, controls, and component selection.
• Ensure designs meet UL, NEC, and customer-specific requirements, balancing safety, performance, and cost.
• Partner with Cx, Sales, Application Engineering, and Operations to improve quote accuracy, reduce cycle time, and enable scalable execution.
• Lead and participate in design reviews and problem-solving efforts to reduce rework and improve first-pass yield.
• Identify opportunities to standardize recurring designs and improve engineering efficiency without compromising ETO flexibility.
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to engineers and cross-functional partners, helping elevate design quality, consistency, and first-pass accuracy.
• Drive a mindset of continuous improvement and practical innovation, identifying opportunities to streamline designs, standardize solutions, and improve engineering efficiency in an ETO environment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical and/or Electronics Engineering
• 10+ Years of experience in electrical engineering, preferably electrical power systems engineering, load banks, or generator support applications.
• Strong experience in ETO or custom-engineered environments, translating customer requirements into deliverable designs.
• Demonstrated expertise in power systems, load calculations, and electrical design for industrial applications.
• Experience with equipment such as load banks, power distribution systems, or similar products.
• Working knowledge of applicable UL standards and NEC requirements.
• Familiarity with NFPA 110.
• Prove ability to lead complex designs and influence technical decisions without direct authority.
• Strong proficiency with electrical design tools (AutoCAD Electrical or similar) and Bill of Material (BOM) creation.
• Ability to collaborate cross-functionally across engineering, sales, and manufacturing teams.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills.

Preferred skills

• Familiarity with resistive/reactive load design and associated cooling and control systems.
• Experience supporting Request for quote processes and custom quoting workflows.
• Exposure to design for manufacturability (DFM) and continuous improvement in ETO environments.
• Experience helping drive standardization or modularization efforts within a custom product line.
