What You'll Do- Partner with transformer design engineers at OEMs to specify insulation systems and influence design decisions
- Support both dry-type (VPI) and liquid-filled transformer applications

- Travel across the US, Canada, and Mexico to build relationships and support customers on-site
- Work alongside sales to strengthen customer engagement and uncover new opportunities
- Identify emerging trends and bring forward new application ideas and market insights
- Support technical problem-solving, testing interpretation, and performance optimization
- Participate in industry groups, standards discussions, and technical forums
What We're Looking For/Required- Experience in transformer design, manufacturing, or engineering (typically 3-5+ years)
- Bachelors or above degree in Electrical Engineering or related major
- Hands-on understanding of transformer systems and how they are built
- Ability to work directly with technical stakeholders in customer environments
Preferred- Customer-facing or applications engineering experience
- Knowledge of electrical insulation systems and materials
- Familiarity with industry standards (IEEE, UL, IEC)
- Existing relationships within transformer OEMs or utilities
Success Profile- Strong communicator who can translate technical concepts into real-world solutions
- Comfortable operating both in engineering discussions and customer-facing environments
- Naturally curious and proactive in identifying opportunities
- Motivated to move beyond a purely desk-based technical role
Role Scope- Region: United States, Canada, and Mexico
- Travel: Approximately 25%
Compensation & Benefits- Competitive base salary aligned to experience and market conditions (generally within a broad professional range)
- Target annual bonus opportunity
- Comprehensive benefits package
Why This Role is Compelling- Move beyond a single design role into a position with broad industry influence
