Job Title:Principal Electrical Engineer

Reports to:Director of Engineering

Location:4 Sunshine Blvd, Ormond Beach, FL 32174

Work Schedule:Full-time in a production environment

Position Summary

At Germfree, we design and manufacture pharmacy compounding equipment, aseptic isolators, clean rooms, mobile healthcare facilities, modular pharmaceutical facilities, and other mission-critical products serving healthcare, pharmaceutical, life science, and government customers.

We're looking for an exceptional Principal Electrical Design Engineer to help define the next generation of those products.

This is a senior staff level technical leadership and fellow role.

You'll provide technical design leadership while remaining deeply engaged in engineering execution and projects — from concept through production, installation, commissioning, and field support.

We're looking for someone who enjoys solving difficult engineering problems, building great products, and working alongside manufacturing, suppliers, technicians, and customers to make them better.

The Principal Electrical Design Engineer will lead the design, development, and continuous improvement of electrical, controls, and automation systems across Germfree's product portfolio.

This role spans everything from low-voltage control systems and embedded product design to facility power distribution, automation, and integrated building systems supporting our equipment, mobile platforms, and modular facilities.

You'll help define long-term technical direction while remaining hands-on in design, prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, commissioning, supplier development, and product support.

What You'll Do

You’ll lead electrical design across products including:

• Aseptic Isolators
• Biological Safety Cabinets
• Modular Pharmaceutical Facilities
• Clean rooms
• Custom Engineered Systems

Product Development

• Lead electrical design for new products and major product enhancements.
• Develop scalable electrical, controls, and automation platforms across multiple product lines.
• Drive designs from concept through production, installation, and field support.
• Improve reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, and cost.

Electrical, Controls & Automation Systems

Lead the design and integration of:

• Low-voltage control systems
• Line voltage and facility power distribution
• PLC and HMI platforms
• Motor controls, VFDs, and EC motors
• Instrumentation and sensor integration
• Building Management Systems (BMS)
• HVAC controls and pressure cascade systems
• Emergency power, UPS, and generator integration
• Communications networks and industrial protocols
• Electrical safety, grounding, and protection systems
• Develop electrical schematics, one-line diagrams, panel layouts, wiring diagrams, and design documentation.
• Select and qualify electrical components and strategic suppliers.
• Support prototype builds, verification testing, manufacturing, commissioning, and field troubleshooting.
• Lead root cause analysis and implement practical engineering solutions.
• Drive engineering standardization across the product portfolio.

What Success Looks Like

Success isn't measured by the number of meetings you attend or presentations you create.

Success is measured by better products. Within your first 12–18 months you'll help:

• Advance BMS and EMS capabilities for modular and mobile facilities.
• Improve product reliability and simplify manufacturing.
• Reduce electrical component complexity and sole-source risk.
• Improve controls, diagnostics, and serviceability.
• Establish engineering standards that scale with the business.

Qualifications

Required

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, M.S. degree preferred
• Professional Engineer (PE) strongly preferred
• 15+ years designing engineered products, systems, or capital equipment, ideally in precision medical or aerospace applications or similar critical performance environments
• Strong experience designing both low-voltage control systems and facility or industrial power distribution
• Strong…
