• Identify and coordinate with suppliers to evaluate materials, components, capabilities, availability, performance, and cost considerations.
• Develop clear technical and purchase specifications that communicate product requirements to suppliers and internal sourcing partners.
• Support product evaluations, qualification testing, quality reviews, supplier audits, and regulatory or safety listing activities.
• Gather supplier declarations and supporting records, and prepare environmental compliance documentation for Paige products.
• Maintain accurate product design, testing, qualification, regulatory, supplier, and compliance records.
• Coordinate design changes and technical updates while ensuring drawings, specifications, bills of materials, and related documentation remain current.
• Identify opportunities to improve product design practices, documentation, supplier coordination, quality, and internal workflows.
• Provide technical guidance, knowledge sharing, or mentorship to less-experienced team members as needed.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

• Associate's degree in engineering, engineering technology, or a related technical discipline.
• 3+ years of product engineering, design engineering, cable engineering, or closely related experience.
• Demonstrated knowledge of wire and cable product design principles.
• Experience creating, reviewing, or interpreting engineering drawings, product specifications, bills of materials, and other technical documentation.
• Experience using AutoCAD or another computer-aided design program.
• Understanding of how product materials, construction, manufacturing processes, and application requirements affect product design.
• Ability to apply analytical and engineering judgment to product development and technical support activities.
• Experience communicating technical information to customers, suppliers, engineers, quality teams, manufacturing partners, or other stakeholders.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects, priorities, and deadlines.
• Careful attention to detail, particularly when creating and maintaining technical, regulatory, and compliance documentation.
• Ability to work independently under minimal supervision while recognizing when technical concerns or decisions require escalation.
• Ability to collaborate effectively across Engineering, Sales, Manufacturing, Quality, Sourcing, Legal, and management teams.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, Windows, and related business applications.
• Ability to travel up to 10%.

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering is strongly preferred.
• Experience designing wire, cable, connectors, cable assemblies, or related electrical products.

• Experience working directly with product certification or regulatory agencies.
• Experience supporting product qualification testing, environmental compliance, regulatory submissions, or safety listing activities.
• Familiarity with supplier qualification, factory audits, sourcing processes, or vendor technical coordination.
• Experience working in a manufacturing, industrial distribution, electrical products, or engineered products environment.
• Experience using enterprise resource planning systems to maintain product, material, or bill-of-material information.

• Competitive base salary ranging from $75,000 to $88,000 annually, depending on relevant experience and qualifications.
• Comprehensive health coverage with multiple plan options, including CDHP and PPO options.
• Company-paid life and disability insurance.
