Secretariat - Consultant, Engineering Sciences- Electrical Engineering

• Exceptional analytical skills, problem solving, communication skills, and creativity are the foundation for successful professionals at Secretariat. • Conduct hands-on failure analysis investigations • Contribute to cross-discipline investigations spanning multiple time zones • Advise clients on the design, evaluation, and performance of electrical components, PCB layouts, power systems, and control systems, leveraging CAD‑based analysis and review tools. Develop test plans, and conduct experiments (such as simulation, validation, and performance tests) to diagnose faults, potential failures and, ensure reliability and performance. • Assist with field inspections • Prepare technically detailed documentation, including technical reports and schematics with a cross discipline team. • Advising on global regulatory compliance and best manufacturing practices across relevant industries such as; automotive and consumer electronics. • Conduct root cause analysis of failures involving battery systems, battery management systems (BMS), battery energy storage systems (BESS), electric vehicles (EVs), power electronics, and consumer electronic products. Perform proactive engineering assessments, including evaluating design adequacy, identifying latent risks, and assessing whether alternative engineering decisions or mitigations could have prevented or reduced issues. • Communicate with clients, and counsel • Assist with the preparation of technical reports • Develop positive relationships with colleagues, peers, and clients • Participate in the preparation of hearings, trials, and mediations • Manage the day-to-day requirements of multiple engagements • Provide project management and project budget oversight • Requisite professional designations and work experience: • Masters or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Physics, or related science. • Experience applying electrical and power systems engineering principles across battery systems, battery management systems (BMS), battery energy storage systems (BESS), electric vehicles (EVs), power electronics, and consumer electronics. Experience working with electrical systems, power electronics or electrochemical storage technologies in a laboratory or applied engineering environment. • Demonstrated proficiency with CAD and analytical tools, including Altium, SPICE, and MATLAB, to support engineering analysis, design review, and technical investigations would be advantageous. • Experience designing and executing experimental and test programmes, including circuit‑level prototyping, validation testing, and the use of electrical diagnostic and measurement equipment • Experience assessing failure mechanisms alongside system‑level design and operational decisions in real‑world industrial applications. Excellent verbal and written communication • Intellectual curiosity with a passion to investigate and explore a vast array of problems, both within and outside of their area of technical specialization • Strong deductive reasoning skills • Able to quickly assimilate relevant information in unfamiliar situations and develop creative approaches and solutions necessary to resolve complex problems • The desire to lead tasks associated with a growing practice within a rapidly growing firm • The ability to travel as-needed • Previous industry experience or consulting experience is highly valued • Dual language fluency valued, but not required
