Engineering Lead

Responsibilities:

• Lead and coordinate electrical, mechanical, controls, and CAD engineering teams to deliver complete and accurate IFC drawing packages (single-line diagrams, GA layouts, wiring schematics, HVAC/CFD layouts, grounding, fire systems, network architecture, etc.)

• Review and validate SOO (Sequence of Operations) documentation for power, cooling, and controls systems to ensure alignment with solution architecture, customer specifications, and factory integration constraints.

• Oversee preparation of commissioning documentation, including FAT scripts, test procedures, load-bank plans, protection coordination files, and integrated system validation steps

• Resolve technical clashes early (e.g., cable routing congestion, skid structural capacity, UPS/battery clearances, busbar interfaces, PLC/SCADA points lists)

• Review design packages (electrical, mechanical, controls) and ensure production teams fully understand the build requirements.

• Conduct build readiness reviews with production, quality, HSE, and supply chain teams to ensure all materials, drawings, jigs, and procedures are released before production start.

• Validate vendor-supplied equipment documentation and drawings for interface compliance and serviceability.

• Allocate engineering resources and adjust workloads to meet build milestones and factory throughput targets.

• Identify design, manufacturing, and integration risks early—e.g., long lead items, interface gaps, thermal/harmonic limits, integration delays, or commissioning complexities

• Lead post-project reviews to capture lessons learned and improve future manufacturability, reliability, and cost performance.

• Coach and mentor electrical, mechanical, and controls engineers to improve design quality, manufacturability awareness, and factory integration expertise.

• Foster a culture of safety, precision, and accountability across engineering and production interactions.

Requirements:

·       Around 5 years of experience in lead engineer role, factory operations, or manufacturing of electrical/mechanical assemblies.

·       Experience managing production work for prefabricated modules, data center equipment, power distribution units, or related industrial systems (preferred).

·       Strong understanding of low voltage electrical power systems, mechanical assemblies, cooling systems, and integrated modular solutions.

·       Proven ability to coordinate material readiness, production scheduling, resource planning, and cross-functional collaboration.

·       Experience in reviewing technical drawings and BOMs for electrical and mechanical assemblies.

·       Experience leading Factory Acceptance Tests and preparing FAT documentation.

·       Strong communication, documentation, and leadership skills with the ability to coordinate multidisciplinary production teams.

·       Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining quality and schedule discipline.
