Electrical Systems Manager information

What does an electrical systems manager do?

An Electrical Systems Manager oversees the design, installation, maintenance, and operation of electrical systems within an organization or project. They manage teams of engineers and technicians, ensure compliance with safety and regulatory standards, and coordinate with other departments to meet project requirements. Their role also includes troubleshooting electrical issues, optimizing system performance, and staying updated on the latest technologies and industry best practices.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an electrical systems manager?

To thrive as an Electrical Systems Manager, you need a solid background in electrical engineering, experience in systems design and analysis, and a relevant bachelor's degree or higher. Familiarity with industry-standard tools like AutoCAD, SCADA systems, and project management software, as well as certifications such as Professional Engineer (PE), are often required. Strong leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills set top performers apart in managing teams and complex projects. These skills and qualifications are essential for ensuring safe, efficient operation and successful delivery of electrical systems in various industries.

What are some common challenges electrical systems managers face when overseeing large-scale projects?

Electrical Systems Managers often encounter challenges such as coordinating between multidisciplinary teams, ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards, and managing tight project timelines. Effective communication is essential, as they must facilitate collaboration between engineers, contractors, and stakeholders to resolve technical issues swiftly. Additionally, keeping up with evolving technologies and integrating new systems while minimizing downtime can add complexity to their responsibilities.

What is the difference between Electrical Systems Manager vs Electrical Engineer?

AspectElectrical Systems ManagerElectrical Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field; often requires project management certificationsBachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering or related field
Work EnvironmentOversees electrical systems projects, manages teams, and coordinates with other departmentsDesigns, develops, and tests electrical systems and components
Industry UsageUsed in construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure projects to manage electrical systemsCommonly employed in product development, research, and design roles

The Electrical Systems Manager focuses on overseeing electrical projects, managing teams, and ensuring system integration, while the Electrical Engineer primarily designs and develops electrical systems. Both roles require similar educational backgrounds but differ in responsibilities and work scope.

Job description

We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods - and eventually people - move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

As a Sr. Electrical Systems Engineer, you will be a part of our Vehicle Design and Integration team. Your work will help bring together mechanical, electrical, GNC, and safety requirements to produce complex components that are key to the success of our efforts to automate aviation. You'll collaborate with a broad set of teams to develop a system architecture and incorporate requirements across the hardware/software stack.

Responsibilities

In your role as a Sr. Electrical Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for defining avionics system architecture and completing trades regarding performance, complexity, risk, and effort. You will drive the vehicle-level design, testing, and integration of avionics hardware, including computing, sensing, actuation, communication, power, and display systems. You will work across engineering teams and will implement an electrical system design that meets system-level and certification requirements. You will be the owner of multiple components (IMUs, air data computers, batteries) and will be responsible for how they are installed in the aircraft, verified, and certified at the aircraft level.

Basic Success Criteria

  • Electrical Engineering fundamentals, typically gained through a Bachelor's Degree of Science or Engineering in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, or related discipline

  • 5+ years of professional hands-on experience with electrical system-level development, integration, and testing

  • Ability to work within a team, including strong written and verbal communication skills

  • Ability to troubleshoot, find root cause, and resolve issues

Preferred Criteria

  • Advanced Degree of Science or Engineering in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, or related discipline

  • Experience developing system architectures and managing requirements across multiple interfaces

  • Experience integrating and troubleshooting various electronic sensors and components

  • Creative problem solver that can bring multiple disciplines together with the ability to assess risk and make design and development decisions without all available data

  • Experience designing, drafting, and building aerospace wiring harnesses, including using ECAD tools such as E3, VeSys, IGE+XAO

  • Proven track record of shipping products and completing projects

We're a growing, motivated, fast-paced team of avionics professionals. We move quickly, and everyone wears multiple hats. We're looking for someone who is diligent and detail-oriented who can join our team and make an immediate impact.

The position will be located at our facility in Mountain View, California.

Must be willing to travel up to 10% of the time.

The estimated salary range for this position is $180,000 to $260,000/annual salary + cash and stock option awards + benefits. At Reliable Robotics, we strive to provide competitive and rewarding compensation based on experience and expertise, as well as market conditions, location, and pay equity.

In addition to base compensation, Reliable Robotics offers stock options, employee medical, 401k contribution, great co-workers and a casual work environment.

This position requires access to information that is subject to U.S. export controls. An offer of employment will be contingent upon the applicant's capacity to perform in compliance with U.S. export control laws.

All applicants are asked to provide documentation that legally establishes status as a U.S. person or non-U.S. person (and nationalities in the case of a non-U.S. person). Where the applicant is not a U.S. person, meaning not a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful permanent resident, (iii) refugee under 8 U.S.C. * 1157, or (iv) asylee under 8 U.S.C. * 1158, or not otherwise permitted to access the export-controlled technology without U.S. government authorization, the Company reserves the right not to apply for an export license for such applicants whose access to export-controlled technology or software source code requires authorization and may decline to proceed with the application process and any offer of employment on that basis.

At Reliable Robotics, our goal is to be a diverse and inclusive workforce. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, creed, ancestry, sex, gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, or related medical conditions), gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, non-disqualifying physical or mental disability or medical conditions, national origin, military or veteran status, genetic information, marital status, or any other basis covered by applicable law.
