Location: Minneapolis, MN 55407
Description:
Spectrum Safety Solutions:
With approximately 1,500 employees operating in more than 20 countries, Spectrum Safety Solutions is a global leader in fire detection and suppression solutions for high-hazard applications across verticals such as critical infrastructure, oil and gas, marine and clean energy. Our global team leverages strong customer relationships across four recognized brands, Det-Tronics, Marioff, Autronica, and Fireye, to deliver differentiated lifecycle solutions and advance growth across key segments. Carved out from Carrier's Fire & Security business in July 2024, Spectrum Safety Solutions is now a privately-held company under the ownership of Sentinel Capital Partners.
Det-Tronics:
We make the world a better place to live! At Spectrum's Det-Tronics, we build and maintain comfortable, accessible, efficient, healthy, safe, secure, and sustainable environments. Det-Tronics is a $180M technologically innovative, projects-based global brand protecting customers in many challenging environments with high end flame and gas detection products and systems. Det-Tronics is a part of Spectrum Safety Solutions and has a global footprint with manufacturing sites in the U.S. and sales presence in all key geographies.
About this role:
The Senior Electrical Engineer leads and manages hardware aspects of products throughout their entire lifecycle from architecture, planning, design through verification and validation. Provides electrical-design technical leadership for cross-functional new product development and sustaining engineering projects. Hardware design development is for products based on different sensing technologies (e.g. Optical, Electrochemical) and communication technologies (wired and wireless).
