Deliverables:

• Work with supplier to finalize design based on tech profile
• Support review and analysis of validation tasks with supplier
• Review and approve circuit/fusing designs from the supplier vs needs
• Own and manage FIRG 7 step for failures and issues identified during testing
• Support any harness design work required for integration

The ideal candidate will be knowledgeable in the following areas:

• Electronics OR controls background
• Genset experience
• Creo Cabling
