• Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Build team capability in first principles thinking, risk identification, critical thinking, and proactive problem solving.
• Remove barriers that slow engineering productivity or create unnecessary friction.
• Communicate information clearly and effectively to build buy-in, influence others, and support successful delivery.
• Promote a "scrappy but disciplined" approach focused on customer and business value, not bureaucracy.
• Identify skill gaps and create targeted development plans that support professional growth and succession planning.
• Recruit and onboard strong electrical and controls engineering talent.
• Facilitate effective individual one-on-one and team meetings.

• Model, steward, make decisions upon, and expect to be held accountable to Delta Mod Tech's values which include:

• Be aware of team members doing the right thing, then acknowledge and encourage them.
• Care for your team members personally by being empathetic and encouraging work/life balance.
• Delegate, encourage team members to innovate, and be the first to pick up the pieces with them if things do not go as planned.

Technical Leadership

• Lead the development of robust, scalable, and maintainable electrical design and controls programming practices for custom converting, packaging, and coating machinery, and automation.
• Lead the continuous improvement of electrical architecture, controls platforms, design standards, reusable hardware and software solutions, and documentation practices.
• Provide hands-on technical guidance and design reviews for complex, high-risk, or first-of-kind systems.
• Drive sound applications of PLC, HMI, motion control, servo, industrial networking, machine vision, robotics, and safety control technologies.
• Champion electrical safety, machine safety, control panel design, and compliance with applicable customer, industry, and regulatory requirements.
• Ensure electrical schematics, panel layouts, bills of material, I/O documentation, and software deliverables are complete, accurate, serviceable, and released on time.
• Ensure technical and execution risks are identified early in the design phase and drive proactive mitigation plans.
• Drive consistency in engineering standards while maintaining flexibility for unique or outlier projects.
• Implement lessons learned and feedback loops from design, panel build, machine assembly, debug, validation, installation, and field performance.
• Partner with service and manufacturing teams to improve machine reliability, troubleshooting effectiveness, and lifecycle support.

Project Execution and Resource Leadership

• Plan and maintain up-to-date resource planning for the electrical engineering team, ensuring projects remain properly staffed while adapting to…
