About the position

The Electrical Design Engineer III at Wacker Neuson will play a pivotal role in leading the planning and implementation of both current product optimization and new product development projects. This position requires a strong technical background to define project timelines and deliverables in collaboration with engineering management. The engineer will also assist in developing aftermarket solutions and enhancing the value proposition of new technologies and offerings. A key aspect of this role involves working closely with manufacturing teams to identify solutions that improve the efficiency and throughput of the production line. In this role, the engineer will independently define machine electrical systems and software architecture across multiple projects. This includes researching and understanding new technologies that can enhance machine value, mentoring junior colleagues on best practices, and acquiring and analyzing electrical system data. The engineer will also be responsible for understanding applicable industry and government standards, such as ISO and SAE, to ensure compliance in all designs. Documentation is another critical component of this position. The Electrical Design Engineer III will support the creation of machine documentation, including schematics, manuals, and troubleshooting guides. They will manage software requirement documentation using Confluence and oversee software development tasks through JIRA. Additionally, the engineer will create and manage testing documentation to ensure all products meet quality standards. The role also involves providing hands-on manufacturing support to maintain production schedules, working with field technicians to resolve customer concerns, and defining testing requirements for new software functions. Effective communication with various departments, suppliers, and service providers is essential, as is the ability to self-manage workloads according to project timelines. Safety is a priority, and the engineer must perform all job functions safely and report any unsafe practices or conditions to their supervisor.
