Job Description
Design Engineering Manager (Remote) โ High-Growth Switchgear OEM
๐ Location: Remote USA (with 30-40% travel to Mexicali manufacturing site)
๐ฐ Compensation: $165,000 โ $185,000 Base + Performance Bonus
๐ Growth: Scaling from $80M to $300M+ revenue by 2027
The Mission: Scaling the Future of Power Distribution
This isn't your average OEM. Backed by Private Equity and currently in a state of "hyper-growth," they've expanded their production footprint from 40k to 400k square feet in the last 12 months alone.
We are looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to serve as the technical lead for our Engineer-to-Order (ETO) projects serving data center, renewables, utilities, and C&I sectors. This is a "player-coach" role where you will design custom LV/MV switchgear and lead a multidisciplinary team to ensure shipped products are safe, reliable, and ready for the North American markets.
Why This Role is Different
- Report directly to the VP of Engineering with the authority to lead both electrical and mechanical design functions.
- You are joining at the inflection point - helping a $125M budgeted business triple in size over the next 24 months.
- You will be the vital link between US-based custom engineering and the expanding 300-head production team in Mexico.

- Manage and mentor a geographically distributed team of electrical and mechanical engineers.
- Lead technical direction for system integration, commissioning, and troubleshooting in the field.
- Ensure all designs meet rigorous UL, IEEE, and NEC standards, as well as specific California utility requirements (SCE, PG&E, etc.).

- Proficient in AutoCAD Electrical and Solidworks to begin tackling order backlog with minimal ramp up on tools.
- Prior formal management experience with a track record of leading technical teams through complex, fast-paced projects.
- Bilingual in Spanish is a major advantage for collaborating with Mexicali-based manufacturing operations leadership.
- Comfortable with 30-40% travel to manufacturing sites in Mexicali to support production and QA/QC.
