Electrical Engineer

Overview As an Electrical Engineer at Airtech, you will design and advance electrical systems powering high-speed rotating equipment, with focus on VFDs and motor controllers. You’ll collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, quality, sales, and product teams to move concepts to prototypes and production. You’ll apply power electronics, thermal, and EMI/EMC practices to deliver robust, efficient solutions. This role offers hands-on development, continuous improvement, and cross-functional impact in a global engineering environment.
