Responsibilities for this Position

Key Responsibilities

Serve as the technical point of contact for the HVPS product line, growing into the primary subject matter expert over time

Perform electrical engineering tasks related to HVPS design, analysis, testing, and troubleshooting

Work closely with manufacturing to support HVPS production builds — resolving technical issues, supporting test procedures, and ensuring build quality

Travel to customer sites domestically and internationally to install, commission, troubleshoot, and repair HVPS equipment — including extended deployments to remote locations with limited or no outside communication

Provide 24/7/365 on-call technical support to fielded sites around the world, diagnosing and resolving issues remotely when possible

Program and troubleshoot PLC-based control systems used in HVPS operation

Develop and maintain technical documentation including schematics, test procedures, and field support guides

Collaborate with cross-functional teams including systems engineers, software engineers, and program management

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, or a related discipline

Foundational knowledge of power electronics, high voltage systems, or power supply design

Willingness to serve as the long-term technical owner of a product line — this is a succession role, not a short-term assignment

Willingness and ability to travel extensively, including extended international deployments to remote locations with limited or no outside communication

Ability to obtain and maintain a SECRET security clearance

A hands-on, problem-solving mindset — comfortable working on the lab bench, on the manufacturing floor, and in the field

Desired Qualifications

Experience with high voltage power supply design, test, or maintenance

Experience with PLC programming, troubleshooting, or integration (e.g., Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or similar platforms)

Familiarity with manufacturing processes and production support for electromechanical or power systems

Experience with test equipment such as oscilloscopes, power analyzers, hipot testers, and multimeters

Prior experience in a field support, deployed, or customer-facing technical role

Familiarity with classified environments and handling procedures

What Makes This Role Unique

This is a rare opportunity to step into a defined succession path and become the go-to expert on a critical product line. You won't just be designing circuits — you'll own the full lifecycle of the HVPS systems, from supporting builds on the manufacturing floor to installing and troubleshooting equipment at remote sites overseas. If you're an EE who wants to build deep technical expertise on a product you truly own, and you don't mind getting your hands dirty or taking a call at 2 AM to help a site on the other side of the world, this is the role.

Workplace Options:

This position is Hybrid/Flex as desired.

While on-site, you will be a part of the McLeansville, NC facility
