• Maintain a rolling view of engineering demand, available capacity, capability, and key project milestones across panel design, PLC, SCADA/HMI, networking/telemetry, FAT, and commissioning.
• Meet closely and frequently with Project Managers to assign resources, anticipate shortages, rebalance workloads, resolve conflicts, and support schedule recovery.
• Assign engineers based on demonstrated capability, development needs, project risk, and business priorities rather than historical department boundaries.
• Serve as a senior technical contributor on selected projects; perform engineering, technical review, troubleshooting, estimating support, FAT, or commissioning in areas of expertise.
• Assess engineering capability and identify targeted training, mentoring, recruiting, and succession needs.
• Support development of a broad Automation Engineer workforce in which panel design is foundational and PLC, SCADA, networking, telemetry, testing, and commissioning skills overlap.
• Partner with Manufacturing Engineering to ensure engineered panels are manufacturable and production-ready before customer submittal and release.
• Support CTMO/Engineering Fellow matrix initiatives without creating a permanent parallel hierarchy.
• Use project performance, estimated-to-complete labor, rework, quality, and schedule data to improve future resource planning and technical execution.
• Participate in regular shop walks and maintain direct visibility of panels in fabrication, assembly, wire, test, FAT, and field execution.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls/Automation Engineering, Mechanical Engineering with controls emphasis, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or a closely related technical discipline; equivalent exceptional systems-integration experience may be considered.
• Typically 10+ years of progressively responsible industrial automation / systems-integration experience, including substantial direct engineering execution.
• Demonstrated strength in at least one of the following: electrical/control-panel engineering, PLC programming, SCADA/HMI, industrial networking/telemetry, systems architecture, or commissioning; working knowledge across the remainder.
• Strong understanding of UL 508A industrial control panels and practical familiarity with UL 891 switchboards and UL 845 motor control centers; ability to work effectively with UL-qualified manufacturing personnel.
• Experience with SolidWorks or comparable 3D/model-based electrical/mechanical design workflows; willingness and ability to operate in Tesco's model-based engineering environment.
• Experience allocating technical resources across multiple concurrent projects and working with project managers in a matrix/project-delivery environment.
• Strong understanding of industrial electrical systems, control hardware, instrumentation, VFDs/motor controls, panel layout, wiring practices, industrial networks, FAT, startup, and field commissioning.
• Professional Engineer registration is valued where relevant but is not required for every candidate; technical credibility and demonstrated delivery performance are essential.
