• Collaborates with engineering, product management, and cross-functional teams to develop new features, technologies, and product concepts.
• Defines functional requirements and supports system-level architecture for battery modules, power converters, control interfaces, embedded electronics, and related electrical subsystems.
• Creates and maintains statements of requirements, schematics, bills of materials, and other design documentation needed for development, validation, and release.
• Conducts electrical simulations and engineering analysis to evaluate performance, identify risks, and improve cost, reliability, and safety.
• Develops and executes component- and system-level test plans, validation procedures, and test reports for electrical hardware and supporting firmware.
• Troubleshoots designs to the component level, performs root cause analysis, and implements corrective actions for issues identified during testing, manufacturing, or field use.
• Supports prototype builds, testing, and design verification activities for moderately complex projects.
• Collaborates with manufacturing partners, suppliers, contract manufacturers, and product specialists to optimize designs for manufacturability and project execution.
• Supports selection and integration of new electrical technologies and components, including battery management devices, microcontrollers, and power electronics.
• Supports thermal performance assessment and thermal management solutions for outdoor electrical equipment and enclosures to ensure acceptable operating conditions across intended use environments.
• Maintains awareness of applicable standards, regulations, and best practices related to embedded systems, power electronics, electrical safety, and energy storage products.
• Travels to Generac facilities, suppliers, or test locations as needed to support project and business requirements, including occasional domestic and limited international travel.
• Other duties as assigned.

Minimum Job Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline; All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) approved institution
• 2 or more years of relevant electrical engineering experience in product design, development, or validation.
• Experience with PCB design, fabrication, assembly, and system integration.
• Hands-on experience testing complex electronic components and systems using oscilloscopes, power supplies, and other standard electronic test equipment.
• Experience developing component- and system-level test plans, test procedures, and test reports.
• Strong knowledge of design documentation, circuit simulation, schematic capture, layout, and prototype verification testing.
• Ability to develop firmware for technology evaluations, design investigations, and prototype verification activities.
• Proficiency in electrical design, schematic capture, PCB layout, and simulation tools.

Preferred Job Requirements:

• Firmware development and validation experience.
• Experience with the design and development of high-power electronics.
• Experience with renewable energy products, energy storage systems, portable power stations, or related power electronics-enabled products.
• Demonstrated skill in root cause analysis of complex electronic hardware issues identified during testing, manufacturing, or field use.
• Ability to perform detail-oriented work with a high degree of accuracy while supporting multiple projects and priorities.
• Strong written, verbal, and presentation communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical information effectively to technical and non‑technical audiences, including leadership.
• Demonstrated ability to apply engineering knowledge to improve products, processes, and technical solutions.
