Join Our Team as Manager-Vacuum Interrupter Engineering

Are you passionate about System Design and Innovation? S&C Electric Company is seeking a dynamic individual to join our Technology Breakthrough and Innovation team. As a Manager-Vacuum Interrupter Engineering, you'll be crucial in ensuring continued innovation and supporting our diverse team.

The Technology & Breakthrough Innovation (T&BI) team drives the creation of new product solutions for S&C's customers by exploiting new technologies and enabling breakthrough product development for the fast-evolving, intelligent power grid. This role supports the development and production of Vacuum Interrupter technologies using specialized prototyping and testing laboratories that lead to new S&C breakthrough products. As an experienced senior engineer in plasma physics, you will have the opportunity to design and test devices that interrupt powerful short-circuits, collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team to design and execute robust experimental test programs, and analyze datasets to optimize practical designs that can be implemented in a manufacturing environment.

The responsibilities for this position include, but are not limited to:

  • Setting and achieving design objectives which account for material and process requirements as much as interrupting performance
  • Communicating with internal and external stakeholders to agree objectives and set expectations
  • Ensuring the design team itself follows robust design processes, for example through design of experiments and extensive use of FEA
  • Directing problem solving efforts during product design and production
  • Creating validation programs, advising on the necessary methods and instrumentation throughout
  • Establishing budget objectives based on the need for people and equipment in both the short and long term.

To be eligible for this position you must at least meet these requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or physics. An advanced degree is a plus
  • Experience developing products for high volume manufacture
  • Solid understanding of the design and application of vacuum interrupters, including the switchgear product itself
  • Robust understanding of the physics of interruption and the role of electromagnetics in achieving interruption
  • An aptitude for physical design and a track record of innovation in new product development
  • Demonstrated experience building teams, managing performance and mentoring engineers
  • At least 10 years' experience developing new products for application in the electric power industry

Major Physical Demands:

  • Standing: Occasional standing for work
  • Lifting: Occasional lifting
  • Walking: Frequent walking throughout the campus facility
  • Carrying: Occasional carrying of light objects for short distances
  • Bending: Occasional bending
  • Reaching: Occasional reaching
  • Environment: Standard office / desktop workspace and test laboratory space
