Solutions Engineer

We’re looking for people who put their innovation to work to advance our success – and their own. Join an organization that ensures a more secure world through connecting and protecting our customers with inventive electrical solutions.

WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE IN THIS POSITION:

• Work on custom customer opportunities (e.g., data centers, energy storage, emerging technologies) where you’ll develop custom electrical enclosure solutions—not just quote standard products.
• Partner directly with Business Development Managers and Sales to tackle technical challenges and help win strategic deals across the Systems Protection portfolio.
• Own the technical side of the quoting process—reviewing customer specs, creating electrical designs, and building tailored solutions that meet performance, code, and application requirements.
• Design electrical and mechanical systems including one-line diagrams, interconnects, wire sizing, and equipment selection for customized enclosure solutions.
• Collaborate with outside sales, plant engineers, design teams, and manufacturing sites to translate concepts into manufacturable, compliant solutions.
• Play a critical role in balancing speed, accuracy, and cost—ensuring quotes are delivered on time while designing solutions that are technically sound, financially competitive, and aligned with customer and business needs.
• Review and validate designs (yours and others’) for code compliance, quality, and alignment with customer specifications.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of quoting, design, and sales support processes within a highly visible, senior-level team (QRF – Quote Reaction Force).

YOU HAVE:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or related field) preferred. Relevant experience considered.
• Experience designing electrical systems (e.g., one-line diagrams, wiring, equipment sizing) in commercial or industrial applications.
• Experience interpreting customer specifications, codes, and standards (NEC or similar) and applying them to real-world designs.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment where solutions are often custom—not predefined.
• Strong communicator who actively engages in meetings with sales, manufacturing, and customers—translating technical concepts, sharing perspectives, and influencing decisions.
• Experience reviewing technical designs or supporting others on specifications, code compliance, and industry standards.
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to bridge technical engineering concepts to business and customer needs, adapting your approach for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience with AutoCAD required, experience with Oracle preferred.

• A dynamic global reach with diverse operations around the world that will stretch your abilities, provide plentiful career opportunities, and allow you to make an impact every day
