Full description
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, Inc. (MHIA) is looking for a Principal Electrical Engineer-Chillers to join our team. This is a hybrid role based out of our Plano, Texas location.
ABOUT MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES AMERICA, INC. (MHIA):
For over 130 years, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group’s innovative and integrated solutions have demonstrated our commitment to creating a positive social impact around the globe. Our range of products and services is tailored to meet our customers’ evolving needs across the commercial aviation, energy, transportation and infrastructure, machinery, defense, and space systems sectors.
Our culture embraces diversity and cooperation, and we promote a healthy balance of professional and personal development, ensuring that your ideas and expertise are valued and respected.
SCOPE:
The Principal Electrical Engineer - Chillers serves as the U.S. electrical engineering hub for centrifugal chiller design at MHIA-DCEM. This role connects Japan-based design teams with U.S. standards and certification bodies, customers, and partners. Rather than owning end-to-end detailed design alone, the engineer accelerates execution of estimating and design by technically translating U.S. requirements into actionable design inputs, preventing compliance-driven rework, and owning cross-system interfaces, change control, and verification and validation readiness. This role will enable effective customer proposals, timely technical responses, and long-term leadership of U.S. electrical engineering operations as a technical bridge between customers and the Japan-based MTH design organization across quotation, design execution, and change control. This position collaborates with global stakeholders across Japan and the U.S. to align priorities, enable effective execution, and support MHIA’s long-term business objectives.
The ideal candidate will have at least twelve (12) years of related experience with at least seven (7) years leading electrical engineering project scope across quotation, design execution, and change management phases for industrial or packaged equipment.
MHIA regrets that it cannot sponsor employment Visas or consider individuals on time-limited Visa status for this position.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Translate U.S. electrical and safety compliance requirements (UL, NEC, IEEE, and related standards) into clear quotation specifications and detailed design.
- Lead electrical engineering activities from customer requirement intake through quotation/estimating specifications and detailed design.
- Convert customer requirements into quotation specifications and coordinate electrical design execution with Japan-based MTH design teams.
- Establish and maintain electrical interface specifications (ICDs) and clear scope and responsibility definitions across subsystems.
