Electrical Engineer

Position Summary

Lance Camper Manufacturing Corporation, a leading manufacturer of truck campers and travel trailers, is seeking an experienced, motivated, and hands-on Electrical Engineer to join our Engineering Department.

We are looking for a self-starter who can design, develop, troubleshoot, and improve electrical systems in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. The ideal candidate is comfortable working both at a desk and directly on the production floor, collaborating with Engineering, Production, Quality Control, and Purchasing to develop reliable, cost-effective electrical solutions.

A minimum of five years of electrical engineering experience in a manufacturing environment is required. Proficiency in SolidWorks is also required. Experience in the RV industry is a plus but not required.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and improve 12V DC and 120V AC electrical systems for recreational vehicles.
• Develop electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, wire harness layouts, and technical documentation.
• Use SolidWorks to create, modify, and maintain engineering drawings, component layouts, assemblies, and electrical system designs.
• Design and integrate electrical components, including batteries, inverters, converters, solar systems, chargers, lighting, and control systems.
• Work closely with Production to resolve electrical issues and improve manufacturing processes.
• Troubleshoot electrical problems during product development, production, and warranty investigations.
• Evaluate electrical components and systems for performance, reliability, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
• Collaborate with Purchasing and suppliers to identify suitable components and opportunities for cost reduction.
• Support new product development, prototypes, and model year changes.
• Develop and maintain electrical bills of materials (BOMs), specifications, and assembly instructions.
• Identify opportunities to simplify wiring, reduce installation time, and improve overall product quality.
• Support electrical testing, validation, and applicable safety and regulatory compliance requirements.
• Provide technical guidance and training to production employees when necessary.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum five years of electrical engineering experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks, including creating and modifying 3D models, assemblies, and engineering drawings.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field, or equivalent applicable education and experience.
• Strong understanding of AC/DC electrical systems, circuit design, and electrical troubleshooting.
• Experience creating and interpreting electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
• Familiarity with electrical design software and CAD tools.
• Experience working directly with manufacturing and production teams.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively across departments.
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and capable of working independently.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in the RV, automotive, marine, specialty vehicle, or related manufacturing industry.
• Knowledge of 12V and 120V electrical systems.
• Experience with lithium batteries, solar charging, inverters, and off-grid power systems.
• Familiarity with SolidWorks Electrical for schematic design and wire harness documentation.
• Experience with electrical harness design and manufacturing.
• Understanding of NEC, RVIA, NFPA 1192, and applicable electrical safety standards.
• Experience with electrical system testing and product validation.
• Bilingual in English and Spanish is a plus.

What We're Looking For

We want an engineer who enjoys solving problems and improving products—not someone who only works behind a desk.

The successful candidate will:

• Take initiative and ownership of projects.
• Be comfortable working directly with production employees and technicians.
• Find practical, cost-effective engineering solutions.
• Identify and resolve problems before they become production or warranty issues.
• Balance product innovation with manufacturing efficiency.
• Work independently while contributing to a collaborative engineering team.

Why Join Lance Camper?

Lance Camper has a long history of designing and manufacturing quality recreational vehicles. Our Engineering Department plays an important role in new product development, product improvements, and manufacturing efficiency.

This position offers the opportunity to work on a wide range of electrical systems, including advanced battery technology, solar power, and off-grid electrical solutions, while directly influencing the design and performance of our products.
