Director of Engineering - Electronic Power Inverters

Project ID: 10207

Location Pittsburgh, PA
Description For almost 50 years, our client has carved out a reputation for the design, development, and manufacture of advanced power quality and power conversion equipment. Recently acquired by a larger, international corporation boasting 100 years of success, it has experienced dramatic sales growth this year alone and is forecasting even more dramatic growth as the horsepower of the Corporate Sales & Marketing teams kick fully into gear.

In this context of growth, the Director of Engineering will retire in 2023 after ably serving the company for 35 years. To fully support the business going forward, the General Manager will add a seasoned Product Development Leader now to affect an orderly transfer of knowledge and stabilize the Engineering Team for the future. Even as the business is growing rapidly, the Engineering Team is still small, requiring the Engineering Manager to be hands-on, a "Player Coach" contributing personally to new product development projects.

Our ideal candidate brings power inverter knowledge and personal hardware or software skills in design & support of sophisticated microcontroller and DSP controlled electrical power equipment. As a key employee, the Director of Engineering will support the General Manager with essential Customer support relations, new market assessments, and leading new product development projects.
