Brooks Utility Products is one of America’s oldest electric utility manufacturers, uniting E.J. Brooks & Company, Meter Devices Company, and Ekstrom Industries into the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio — all engineered around utility safety, security, and productivity.

The industry is entering a generational build cycle. Grid hardening, an accelerating AMI upgrade wave, and unprecedented load growth from data centers, electrification, and reshored manufacturing are driving demand straight through our core product lines — while rising energy theft and tightening grid-security mandates put our sealing and locking equipment front and center. This is the electric super cycle, and Brooks sits at the heart of it.

We are seeking an Engineering Leader to own the Engineering and Product Management function across our full portfolio — electrical products, security products, and test equipment. This is the senior engineering role in the business, with three mandates: the engineering team, the R&D and new product development portfolio, and serving as the face of engineering to our customers. Our products are electromechanical at their core — diecast and formed metal, molded polymers, current-carrying assemblies built to survive decades in the field — so hands-on depth in mechanical design, manufacturing processes, and DFM matters more than any single specialty.

Work model: Full-time, on-site at our Novi, MI facility. Our team does its best work together — in the lab, on the shop floor, and around the whiteboard.
