Job Description:
Join us and play a pivotal role in designing electromechanical systems that drive innovation. You'll integrate mechanical, electrical, and electronic components while collaborating across disciplines to deliver products that meet the highest standards of performance and safety.
The Continuous Engineer for I-Line Power Boards is responsible for sustaining and maintaining the existing I-Line Power Board offer from a design and technical perspective. This role supports manufacturing plants, quality, customer support, industrialization, and other cross-functional teams by evaluating design-related issues, approving deviations, reviewing technical documentation, and ensuring that product changes preserve safety, reliability, manufacturability, cost effectiveness, and compliance with applicable standards.
The role requires strong electromechanical design knowledge, product application understanding, problem-solving skills, and the ability to evaluate the broader impact of changes beyond an isolated component or local manufacturing issue. The Continuous Engineer must understand how a proposed change can affect product performance, compliance, manufacturing operations, and other sites producing similar or related products.
What will you do?
-
Maintain the existing I-Line Power Board offer from a design perspective.
-
Support manufacturing plants with design-related questions, issues, deviations, and product clarifications.
-
Evaluate plant requests and determine potential impacts on product performance, safety, reliability, manufacturability, and compliance.
-
Support technical resolution of recurring issues in manufacturing, assembly, documentation, or product configuration.
-
Ensure changes or deviations do not create unintended consequences for other plants, product variants, or customer applications.
-
Review and approve engineering deviations when technically justified.
-
Evaluate impacts of temporary or permanent changes on product design, compliance, manufacturing feasibility, and customer requirements.
-
Challenge proposed solutions when they solve a local issue but may create broader technical, compliance, or multi-site risks.
-
Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, testing, certification, and product engineering teams to define robust solutions.
-
Support corrective and preventive actions related to product design or component issues.
-
Review product structures, drawings, specifications, design documents, and engineering records.
-
Support updates to product documentation resulting from sustaining activities, deviations, or continuous improvement actions.
-
Ensure technical documentation remains accurate, controlled, and aligned with the released product offer.
-
Review questions related to component characteristics, material use, product configuration, and assembly feasibility.
-
Support prototype or pilot build questions when existing offer knowledge is required.
-
Work with plants to clarify problems that may initially be poorly defined or incomplete.
-
Translate manufacturing observations into clear technical problem statements.
-
Investigate root causes related to product design, documentation, tolerances, component fit, assembly process, or product application.
-
Evaluate alternative solutions and recommend the option that minimizes product, cost, manufacturing, and compliance risks.
-
Capture lessons learned and propose improvements to reduce recurrence.
-
Work closely with manufacturing, quality, industrialization, technical assistants, offer management, supply chain, certification, and other engineering teams.
-
Provide technical guidance to plant teams and technical assistants on design-related issues.
-
Support improvement of the CE intake/request process, including clearer problem definition, prioritization, and effort tracking.
-
Contribute to knowledge transfer so technical assistants and plant teams can resolve simple items while maintaining proper CE review for design-sensitive topics.
What qualifications will make you successful?
-
Strong analytical mindset with the ability to tackle complex technical challenges independently
-
Excellent communication skills to collaborate across disciplines and explain technical concepts clearly
-
Proven ability to mentor and guide colleagues through non-routine or escalated technical issues
-
Creative thinking combined with attention to detail in designing innovative, compliant solutions
(External) English Qualifications:
What's in it for me?
-
Work on innovative electromechanical systems that push the boundaries of technology
-
Opportunities to mentor technical talent while continuously expanding your own skill set
-
Collaborative culture where your expertise directly influences product development and success
-
Access to cutting-edge tools, training programs, and resources that fuel your professional growth
Requirements
-
Bachelor Degree in Elecromechanics, Mechatronics or similar
-
Advanced english level
-
6 years of experience with low-voltage power distribution equipment, preferably I-Line Power Boards, panelboards, switchboards, or similar equipment.
-
Understanding of electromechanical product design, mechanical assemblies, sheet metal, busbars, insulation systems, clearances, fasteners, and product structures.
-
Experience supporting manufacturing plants or sustaining engineering activities.
-
Knowledge of deviations, engineering change processes, product documentation, and design release systems.
-
Familiarity with UL, NEMA, IEC, CSA, or applicable product standards.
-
Experience using CAD and PDM/PLM tools.
-
Ability to evaluate product impacts beyond a local component issue or single manufacturing site.
