Stewart & Stevenson is Now Hiring a Rail King Electrical Engineer II at 10750 Telge Road Houston, TX 77095. 

Stewart & Stevenson is hiring an Electrical Engineer II to support the Rail King product line at 10750 Telge Road in Houston, Texas. In this hands-on role, you will design, integrate, validate, and improve electrical and electronic systems for specialty mobile equipment used in harsh operating environments.

This opportunity is well suited for an experienced engineer who enjoys owning designs from concept through field performance. You will work with SAE J1939 CAN-based controls, vehicle telematics, complex wiring harnesses, power distribution, diagnostics, and cross-functional teams across engineering, manufacturing, field service, procurement, and sales.

• What You Will Do

  • Own electrical system architecture, including power distribution, control networks, protection strategies, and interface definitions.
  • Design electrical and electronic systems that withstand shock, vibration, temperature extremes, moisture, dust, corrosion, and electrical noise.
  • Architect, develop, and validate SAE J1939 CAN-based control systems, including node integration, message definition, fault handling, and service diagnostics.
  • Design wiring harnesses from concept through routing, connector selection, manufacturability, serviceability, and field durability.
  • Support telematics and connectivity solutions for Rail King equipment.
  • Lead environmental validation, fault isolation, and root-cause analysis under real-world operating conditions.
  • Provide technical direction and practical support to production personnel and the Rail King product line.
  • Support field commissioning, issue resolution, and continuous improvement using field-performance data and service feedback.
  • Partner with sales, procurement, manufacturing, field service, external contractors, and other engineering disciplines.
  • Lead small to medium-sized engineering projects, participate in planning and design reviews, document decisions, and help identify and mitigate technical risks.

  What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.
  • 3+ years of experience working with electrical systems for mobile equipment.
  • Hands-on experience with SAE J1939 CAN systems and wiring harness design.
  • Experience supporting equipment in shop, test-site, and field environments.
  • Strong communication, organization, and technical leadership skills.
  • Willingness to travel to project sites as needed.

• Preferred Experience

  • Designing electronics for harsh or rugged operating environments.
  • Experience with CODESYS and/or Parker IQAN software.

  What Makes This Role Stand Out

  • End-to-end ownership of meaningful electrical systems and subsystems.
  • A blend of design, validation, production support, and field problem-solving.
  • Direct influence on product reliability, serviceability, and continuous improvement.
  • Opportunities to provide technical leadership while remaining close to the equipment and the people who build and support it.

  Work Environment and Physical Requirements

  This is not a desk-only Electrical Engineer II position. The role works across office, shop-floor, test-site, and field settings. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds.
  • Ability to occasionally climb ladders and crawl beneath trailers.
  • Occasional bending, stooping, walking, standing, kneeling, and crouching.
  • Occasional exposure to cold, heat, noise, and mechanical or electrical fumes or odors.
  • Manual dexterity sufficient for hands-on work and normal vision with or without corrective lenses.
