Principle Engineer

Position Overview

We are looking for a versatile Principal Engineer (Electrical) to support the local CTO in Riyadh and strengthen our technical capability across the Middle East and North Africa region. This role requires broad electrical product knowledge, strong market and product understanding, and the ability to work closely with cross-functional teams. You will lead product lifecycle activities, analyze customer and market needs, guide technical solution design, and ensure product performance and compliance for regional applications.

This is an expat contract position for candidates who can operate effectively in a fast-growing, multicultural environment and serve as a key technical partner to business and R&D teams.

• Focus on the full range of electrical products, including high/medium/low voltage circuit breakers (e.g. LBS, ACB, MCCB), switch gear (e.g. RMU, unit sub‑station, low‑voltage panel), residual current protection devices, ATS, EV chargers, contractors, energy meter, power quality products (e.g. capacitors, SVG, APF), inverters, photovoltaic & energy storage products and so on. Lead product lifecycle management, overseeing the entire process from market demand research and product planning to iterative optimization.
• Collaborate with marketing and sales teams to build cross‑departmental communication bridges. Provide professional electrical technical support, participate in product promotion, customer training, and technical consultation, ensuring an efficient closed loop for product implementation and market feedback. Proactively join sales and marketing teams in visiting key local customers, communicate face‑to‑face to clarify requirements, accurately address explicit customer needs and identify implicit needs.
• Dive deep into core application fields such as power systems, industrial sectors, construction, and data centers. Analyze industry trends and customer pain points, develop targeted product solutions, drive product technological innovation and functional upgrades, and enhance the core competitiveness of products in overseas markets.
• Track global electrical industry standards, regulations, and technological trends. Optimize product design specifications and technical parameters in line with the localization needs of overseas markets to ensure product compliance and adaptability.
• Lead the compilation and update of product technical documents, including product manuals, electrical schematic explanations, and intelligent function guides, to empower internal teams and external customers.
• Take charge of after‑sales technical support. Connect with local after‑sales teams and customers, respond quickly to after‑sales issues (such as product fault diagnosis and technical query resolution), and provide professional solutions. Analyze after‑sales issue data, summarize common problems, and drive product design optimization and quality improvement, reducing the incidence of after‑sales issues.
• Expand external cooperation channels. Proactively engage with government authorities, industry committees, professional consulting firms, and universities in local markets to explore opportunities for technical cooperation, project collaboration, and market promotion. Enhance the brand's industry influence and reputation in overseas markets through joint R&D, participation in industry events, and technical exchanges.

• Lead market demand analysis and competitor research, accurately identify the differentiated advantages of products, and propose product function planning, technical improvement, and innovation directions. Collaborate with sales and marketing teams on customer visits to deeply explore customer needs, lead the design of overall solutions based on customer requirements and new product development projects, and be responsible for the progress, quality, and market adaptability of new product development.
• Lead technical reviews during the product R&D process. Control key links such as electrical schematic design and intelligent function implementation to ensure the technical feasibility and stability of products.
• Deeply explore product application scenarios…
