• Conduct performance reviews, talent development, and resource planning to maintain a high-performing hardware team.
• Manage hardware-related budget, tools, and capital equipment needs.
• Hardware Development & Technical Strategy
• Own the electronics hardware development lifecycle for Power Products and Final Distribution portfolios—from requirements definition and architecture through schematic design, PCB layout, prototyping, and design-for-manufacturability.
• Define and execute the hardware technology roadmap, including power electronics, sensing, protection circuits, and integration with mechanical systems.
• Drive Stage-Gate or Agile processes for hardware deliverables, ensuring they meet cost, performance, reliability, and time-to-market targets.
• Lead hardware design reviews, technical risk assessments, and failure mode analysis (FMEA) specific to electronics hardware.
• Identify and incorporate emerging hardware technologies to enhance product differentiation.
• Collaboration & Project Execution
• Ensure strong, proactive collaboration with firmware, embedded systems, systems engineering, test/validation, and mechanical teams to integrate hardware seamlessly into complete solutions and meet overall project milestones.
• Work closely with cross-functional stakeholders (manufacturing, quality, regulatory, supply chain, and marketing) to resolve hardware-related issues and support end-to-end product development.
• Contribute to obsolescence management and component selection strategies in partnership with global teams and supply chain.
• Compliance, Quality & Sustainability
• Ensure all hardware designs comply with North American and international standards (UL 489, UL 67, CSA, NEC, IEC, FCC/EMC/EMI, etc.).
• Support environmental, reliability, and safety testing activities through close coordination with test resources.
• Champion sustainable hardware design practices, such as energy-efficient circuits and reduced material usage.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or a related field (Master's preferred).
• 10+ years of progressive experience in electronics hardware design and development for power systems, electrical distribution, or industrial products.
• 5+ years of direct people-management experience leading electronics hardware engineering teams in a regulated product development environment.
• Proven success delivering complex hardware designs from concept to production in electrical distribution or power electronics applications.
• Deep expertise in analog/digital circuit design, power electronics, PCB layout, thermal management, and EMC/EMI mitigation.
• Strong knowledge of relevant industry standards, safety certifications, and North American electrical codes.

High-quality, on-time hardware deliverables that enable successful product launches and meet performance/reliability targets. Strong collaboration across firmware, systems, and test functions, resulting in integrated solutions with minimal integration issues. Effective team leadership with measurable improvements in hardware design efficiency, innovation, and talent development.
