Electrical Engineer

Position Description: Senior Applications Engineer/Electrical Engineer Location: Hybrid / 50-75% Remote (with structured travel to MA, CT, and customer sites) Category: Technical Leadership & Engineering The Opportunity We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to step into a vital role within our close-knit team. This isn't a "cog in the machine" position; you will be the technical heartbeat of our product line, bridging the gap between complex electronic design and real-world industrial application. Following the retirement of a long-tenured leader, this role is designed for a technical expert who finds fulfillment in problem-solving, customer obsession, and hands-on engineering rather than climbing a traditional management ladder. You will be the "go-to" person for our circuit board solutions used in power control panels for pumps and meters, ensuring our technology thrives in rugged, industrial grid environments. To ensure a seamless transition, this role features a structured onboarding phase followed by a predictable, balanced remote/travel schedule. Work Structure & Travel Schedule Short-Term Onboarding (First Few Months) Knowledge Transfer: You will spend 2 weeks every month on-site in South-Central Massachusetts. Mentorship: This time will be dedicated to hands-on training and absorbing critical institutional knowledge directly from our retiring engineers. Long-Term Schedule (Post-Onboarding) 50% Remote: Work from the comfort of your home office. 25% Connecticut Site (1 week/month): Collaboration, lab work, and team alignment at our Central Connecticut location. 25% Customer Travel (1 week/month or two): On-site visits to interface directly with clients and oversee technical implementations. The Role: A 360° Engineering Impact This role balances deep technical work with high-level customer and supply chain engagement: 20% New Product Development: Designing and iterating on the next generation of power control boards alongside our global support network of engineers. 20% Supply Chain & Regulatory Sustaining: Managing the technical integrity of our components, ensuring UL/ISO compliance, and maintaining vendor technical relationships. 30% Technical Sales Support: Partnering with the sales team to talk "engineer-to-engineer" with new customers, closing big deals through technical credibility (sometimes at the customer site). 30% Customer Success: Providing expert-level support for complex technical questions and troubleshooting. What You’ll Bring to the Table The Must-Haves (Technical): Electrical Engineering Core: A strong background in Electronical Engineering (bachelor’s degree) with specific expertise in magnetism and Hall Effect sensors a plus. Protocol Expertise: Familiarity with analog communication protocols to PLCs is essential. Field Readiness: The ability and willingness to meet the designated travel schedule for customer site visits and regional office rotations. The Must-Haves (Cultural): Continuous Improvement Mindset: You are naturally organized and always looking for a way to make a process or product 1% better every day. Problem-Solving DNA: You don’t just identify issues; you own the solution from concept to execution. Technical Leadership: You want to be a mentor and a subject matter expert, not a people manager. You find professional "juice" in being the smartest technical resource in the room. The "Nice-to-Haves": Hands-on experience with PCB design and software development for embedded systems. Experience designing for the grid or industrial processes (heavy-duty, high-reliability) rather than consumer electronics. Familiarity with Digital Communication protocols and board-level software. Experience navigating UL and ISO regulatory requirements. The "Translator" Skill: The ability to take complex technical specs and help create compelling sales literature. Proficiency in project tracking software to keep the rest of the company synced on your progress. Why Join Us? Impact: In our small company, your work is visible, valued, and vital to our success. Relationships: You’ll work closely with a dedicated sales team and build long-term trust with customers who rely on our hardware. Autonomy: We value organized self-starters. You will have the freedom to manage your projects, your remote schedule, and your technical approach. Hands-on Work: From the lab bench to the customer’s panel box, you’ll be involved in every stage of the product lifecycle. Pay: $85,000.00 - $100,000.00 per year Benefits: 401(k) matching Work Location: Hybrid remote in Bristol, CT 06010
