Lead Data Engineer

Description

We are seeking a Lead Data Engineer – Engineering Systems to lead and improve how engineering data, tools, and workflows operate across our organization. This role will focus on building scalable tools, automating engineering processes, and integrating data across systems such as electrical CAD, product configurators, MES, and other digital platforms. This role is critical to improving the quality, governance, and integration of engineering data across key systems, including the Zuken E3 electrical CAD (ECAD) environment.

The ideal candidate brings a strong data and automation foundation, an engineering mindset, and the ability to work across systems to improve how standard designs are applied, configured, verified, and released. This person will help reduce manual work, improve data quality, support BOM accuracy, and increase engineering throughput through automation and decision support.

Roles & Responsibilities:

Build tools and workflows that help engineers apply, configure, and verify standard designs more efficiently

Develop scripts, automations, and data workflows to extract, clean, consolidate, and analyze data across engineering and business systems

Partner with engineering teams to improve database structure, data quality, and reusability of electrical design content

Integrate data and workflows across engineering and business systems, including Zuken E3 (ECAD software), product configurators, and related platforms

Improve and maintain engineering data structures within systems such as Zuken E3 (ECAD software) to support standardized design creation, variant logic, and option selections

Establish governance and control of the standard component library to drive consistency and reduce uncontrolled component selection and part number proliferation

Develop and maintain component library and BOM-related data structures to support migration to newer electrical CAD software versions and standardized panel layout and 3D design capabilities

Partner with engineering, manufacturing, digital, and IT teams to develop scalable solutions that improve engineering productivity and downstream execution

Serve as the primary technical liaison with Zuken to align on software best practices, database architecture, issue resolution, and upgrade execution

Use data to support decision-making, identify process bottlenecks, and drive continuous improvement in engineering operations

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering Technology, or related technical field from an accredited university or college

Minimum 5 years of experience in electrical engineering, ECAD systems, or product data management in a manufacturing environment

Experience building tools, scripts, or workflows that improve engineering or operational processes

Experience working with structured data, databases, and cross-system integration

Experience with Python or similar scripting/programming languages

Desired Characteristics

Experience with Zuken E3 or similar ECAD platforms

Familiarity with electrical engineering workflows, schematics, component libraries, bills of materials, and engineering databases

Familiarity with PLM systems and structured engineering data governance

Strong understanding of engineering data governance, database architecture, and data quality improvement

Ability to translate engineering process pain points into scalable technical solutions

Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, production, digital, and external software providers

Strong attention to detail and ability to improve data accuracy, consistency, and usability

Prior experience with low-voltage control components, panel layouts, or wiring systems is preferred
