Engineering Manager – Power Distribution (Switchboards)

About the Opportunity

Qualdoc Staffing is seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to lead the design and delivery of low-voltage power distribution systems, with a strong focus on switchboards supporting data center applications.

This is a high-impact leadership role combining team management, hands-on engineering, and cross-functional collaboration. You’ll play a key role in shaping engineering strategy, supporting commercial efforts, and ensuring the successful execution of complex, large-scale projects.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Lead and build a high-performing engineering team
• Work on cutting-edge data center infrastructure projects
• Influence both technical design and business decisions (quoting, BOMs, etc.)
• High visibility role with strong growth potential
• Competitive compensation with flexibility based on experience

What You’ll Do

Leadership & Team Development

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of electrical and mechanical engineers
• Establish clear accountability, ownership, and delivery expectations
• Review and approve engineering deliverables including designs, drawings, and specifications

• Ensure alignment with customer specifications, one-line diagrams, and system requirements
• Guide system architecture including breakers, bus systems, controls, metering, and protection schemes
• Support standardization and modular product development for scalability

Commercial & Cross-Functional Support

• Partner with sales and estimating teams to support quoting, BOM development, and technical alignment
• Collaborate with manufacturing to ensure designs are production-ready and efficient
• Interface with customers for design reviews, technical clarifications, and issue resolution
• Coordinate with supply chain on component selection and vendor alignment
• Support commercial efforts to ensure technical accuracy and constructability

Quality, Compliance & Testing

• Ensure compliance with UL, NEC, and applicable data center standards
• Support factory witness testing (FWT), validation, and commissioning
• Maintain documentation for certifications, testing procedures, and design validation

Program & Project Oversight

• Manage engineering timelines to meet aggressive project schedules
• Identify and mitigate technical risks early in the design phase
• Support project teams in executing large-scale data center programs
• Take on additional responsibilities as needed to support business goals

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• Strong experience in low-voltage power distribution or switchboard design
• Proven leadership experience managing engineering teams
• Deep understanding of UL standards, NEC, and data center power systems
• Experience supporting manufacturing, sales, and cross-functional teams
• Ability to balance technical detail with big-picture execution
