Position Summary

Innoversa Mobile Solutions designs, builds and deploys mobile and modular energy products — PROMIS mobile BESS, MATESS skid BESS, and the Rhino and Monster EV charging platforms — for investor-owned utilities and large commercial fleets across North America. Our customers judge us as much on the quality of our documentation, certifications and change control as on the performance of the hardware.

We are hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the Design & Engineering function and own engineering execution end-to-end. Two things define success. First, rigor: complete drawing packages, disciplined revision control, closed-out certification files, and commitments met on the date promised. Second, and equally important, building the team. The engineering group today is capable but incompletely structured, with key leadership positions unfilled and critical knowledge concentrated in too few people. We are looking for a leader who measures success by the strength of the team they build, not by how much work they personally absorb.

Scope

You will lead Design & Engineering — electrical and mechanical systems, power electronics, controls and automation, project engineering, product cybersecurity, fire safety systems, certifications and standards, and field services — and partner with the Production & Operation Manager, Projects Management, and Sales on technical proposals. Design authority for product architecture, technology and platform selection, system specifications, compliance basis and product roadmap is held by the Principal Advisor, Technology Deployment and Testing.; you are accountable for taking proven concepts through disciplined productization.

Key Responsibilites

Leading the Engineering Team

- Set clear written expectations for every engineer — scope of ownership, standard of work, and definition of done — and maintain a consistent operating rhythm of weekly one-on-ones, team priority reviews, and monthly technical reviews, including when the schedule is under pressure.
- Delegate real ownership rather than tasks: give engineers end-to-end responsibility for subsystems, certification workstreams and customer interfaces, then support them without taking the work back.
- Hold the team accountable to committed dates with consistency and respect. Address missed commitments early, diagnose whether the cause is capacity, clarity, capability or process, and fix the actual cause.
- Manage capacity actively — know who is overloaded and who is underused, rebalance before people burn out, and say no upward when the team is genuinely at capacity.
- Resolve technical disagreement productively: surface dissent, make the call when consensus is not reachable, explain the reasoning, and ensure the team commits once the decision is made.
- Escalate architecture, safety and compliance questions to the Principal Advisor.
- Translate between engineering and the business, so the team understands commercial context and leadership understands engineering constraint and risk in plain terms.

Building and Developing the Organization

- Assess the current team objectively on technical depth, documentation discipline and delivery reliability, and produce a staffing plan that closes the gaps.
- Define and fill the open positions, screening candidates on rigor rather than résumé keywords.
- Establish a written development plan for every engineer with specific goals and quarterly review and create visible growth paths for both technical depth and people leadership so strong engineers can advance without being forced into management.
- Coach deliberately — pair juniors with senior specialists, use design reviews as teaching moments, sponsor P.Eng./PE licensure and standards training, and rotate engineers through commissioning and field service so they see their designs installed.
- Eliminate single points of failure. Cross-train and document until the team can operate without any one individual and develop credible internal successors for each lead position.
- Run fair, evidence-based performance management, and address sustained underperformance constructively and decisively.
- Build psychological safety around reporting problems,



and own an uncompromising safety culture in the shop, the lab and the field.

Engineering Execution, Design Integrity and Document Control

- Own engineering scope, schedule and labor budget across all active projects and product releases; maintain a single current view of commitments and escalate slippage early with a recovery plan.
- Establish and enforce engineering change management (ECR/ECO) no drawing, BOM, firmware or control program change on a shipped or in-build product without a reviewed, approved and recorded change.
- Own revision and configuration management so the as-built configuration of every fielded unit is known and retrievable, including serial-level traceability of major components.
- Standardize and maintain the engineering document set across platforms: product requirements, functional design and system architecture; electrical packages (single-line diagrams, schematics, panel and wiring drawings, protection philosophy); controls and integration packages (control narratives, network and communication diagrams, SCADA/HMI design, I/O and point lists, protocol maps, alarm philosophy); mechanical and general arrangement drawings; safety and compliance documentation (hazard mitigation analysis, safety requirements, certification files); operations and maintenance packages (Installation manual, O&M; manual, spare parts lists, maintenance procedures); lifecycle packages (Commissioning, FAT/SAT procedures, decommissioning plan)
- Implement requirements traceability from customer specification through design to a verification matrix, so every contractual requirement is demonstrably tested and evidenced.
- Run structured design reviews with documented findings, assigned actions and verified closure, and serve as responsible engineering signatory on released drawings, test reports and technical submittals.

Certification, Codes and Compliance

- Own the certification roadmap and drive listings to completion — UL 9540 and UL 9540A, UL 1973, UL 1741 and IEEE 1547, and UL 2202 / UL 2594 and SAE J1772 / CCS for charging equipment.
- Ensure compliance with NFPA 855, NFPA 70 (NEC) including Articles 625 and 706, the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1), and applicable provincial and state requirements; address DOT, FMVSS and Transport Canada requirements for road-legal mobile units.
- Manage fire and life-safety engineering scope — hazard mitigation analysis, fire separation, off-gas and thermal-event detection, emergency response planning — and the consultants supporting it.
- Own product cybersecurity execution – secure architecture implementation, hardening, patch and vulnerability management, and utility cybersecurity questionnaires to the architecture and standards set by the Principal Advisor.
- Prepare and defend submittals to utility clients, AHJs and certification bodies, and close out utility EH&S; and engineering questionnaires completely and on time.

Product Standardization, Suppliers and Manufacturing

- Implement the standard platform architecture defined with the Principal Advisor across various products— common control platform, HMI and alarm architecture, standard electrical interfaces, modular battery design — and reduce engineering hours per deployment and commissioning duration as tracked metrics.
- Operate a field issue and corrective-action database with genuine root-cause analysis feeding back into design and manufacturing.
- Define technical scopes for consultants and test labs, manage their performance, review purchase orders and change orders within delegated authority — validating scope, price and contract mechanism before routing for signature.
- Support production, factory and site acceptance testing, and commissioning; own design-for-manufacture and design-for-serviceability improvements.
- Provide technical inputs to proposals,



pricing and constructability for standard products – engineering hours, lead times, configuration options, compliance statements – working with the Technical Sales Manager and represent engineering in customer technical discussions on standard products; engage the Principal Advisor for non-standard systems, microgrids, interconnection and expert-level discussions.

Qualifications

Required

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
- Eight or more years of progressive engineering experience, including at least three years directly managing engineers with formal responsibility for their performance, development and results.
