About the Role

Rise Power Systems is seeking a Director of Engineering to lead our Modular E-House product line as its de facto general manager. While the title centers on engineering, this role functions as the business owner for the E-House product line — accountable not just for technical definition, but for how the product performs commercially, operationally, and competitively. You'll own the platform architecture and design standards, but you'll also be expected to weigh in on cost, pricing, capacity, hiring, customer strategy, and program risk as if the P&L were yours, because in practice, it is.

This is the right role for someone who wants full ownership of a product line — not a narrow technical lane — and who's comfortable operating across engineering, operations, sales, and supply chain to make the business succeed.

BENEFITS

• Competitive Pay based on experience, Typical starting salary range $170k-$220k annually
• Health, Dental, Vision, Pet, and life insurance
• Short term and long-term disability
• 401k with company match
• PTO, Flex time, and paid holidays

What You'll Own

• Business ownership: Act as the accountable leader for the E-House product line's overall health — technical quality, delivery performance, cost position, and customer satisfaction — coordinating directly with Sales, Operations, Supply Chain, and Finance as needed.
• Platform architecture: Define E-House layouts, structural standards, and integration zones that become the technical foundation for the product line.
• Design standardization: Develop templated, configurable designs that cut engineering hours per unit and let the team scale output without scaling headcount.
• Manufacturability: Set fabrication and assembly standards, and drive Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Desi
