Engineering Manager – Maintenance of Line; MOL

About IEM

Industrial Electric Mfg. (IEM) is the largest independent full-line manufacturer of custom power distribution systems in North America. Founded more than 75 years ago in Fremont, California, IEM grew alongside Silicon Valley and today operates over 1.7 million square feet of manufacturing capacity. With $1B+ in annual sales and 10,000+ commissioned projects across technology, data centers, commercial, energy, utilities, healthcare, industrial, and infrastructure markets, IEM continues to deliver exceptional product quality, dependable service, and the flexibility to meet complex technical requirements at scale.

The Engineering Manager – Maintenance of Line (MOL) is responsible for maintaining the accuracy, manufacturability, and compliance of IEM’s active mechanical product designs, standards, and procedures. This role supports both Low Voltage (LV) and Medium Voltage (MV) mechanical designs and operates in Jacksonville, while supporting Fremont and Vancouver.

The MOL Manager ensures the health of existing product lines and design standards so that DTO Engineering can stay focused on project delivery. This includes assisting in maintaining the mechanical engineering procedures, SOPs, and design guides, while working cross-functionally with Process Engineering, QA, Operations, Product Engineering, and R&D to resolve systemic design issues, capture lessons learned and integrate product improvements into engineering processes and documentation.

• Lead and develop a team of engineers and designers focused on maintaining and improving mechanical design standards, SOPs, and guides.
• Provide day-to-day directions for design corrections and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Coordinate with DTO Design Managers to ensure mechanical design practices are clear, current, and aligned with production needs.
• Partner with Plant Engineering, QA, and Operations to implement robust feedback loops and corrective actions.

• Maintain and update Mechanical Engineering Department SOPs, work instructions, and design standards.
• Assist in the development and revision of Mechanical Design Guides that define best practices for DTO mechanical design and manufacturing collaboration.
• Ensure procedures and design guides reflect current production methods, tolerances, CTQs, and UL/CSA compliance expectations.
• Support alignment of engineering procedures with PDM/PLM workflows in collaboration with Tools & Systems.
• Assist in communication, training, and rollout plans for new or revised SOPs and guides across all sites.

• Lead cross‑functional efforts with Process Engineering, QA, and Operations to identify, prioritize, and resolve recurring design or build issues.
• Lead root cause investigations on recurring mechanical design or build issues.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally to implement corrective actions.
• Support continuous improvement efforts.

• Serve as the primary contact for DTO teams regarding mechanical standards and documentation questions, enabling those teams to remain focused on project execution.
• Identify recurring design or documentation challenges impacting project execution.
• Collaborate with Tools & Systems to ensure mechanical libraries, CAD templates, and supporting assets are accurate—adding new content as needed from DTO output.

• Support introduction of new or updated product designs into standard engineering practice.
• Validate manufacturability and documentation readiness prior to release.
• Assist during product transitions to minimize disruption to active DTO workflows.

• Work directly with plant teams to ensure designs are manufacturable, consistent, and aligned with equipment and process capability.
• Support implementation of engineering‑driven ECNs, process improvements, and field updates.
• Ensure consistent documentation and standardization within Jacksonville facilities.
• Assist in resolving plant‑level design challenges through formal corrective action and…
