For more than 140 years, Johnson Controls has delivered performance where it really matters. Backed by advanced technology, lifecycle services and an industry-leading field organization, we elevate customer performance, turn goals into real-world results and help move society forward.

As a Builder on the Stack Forging Thermal Solutions team at Johnson Controls, you'll join a team of sleeve-rollers who set a high bar for themselves and their co-workers. We foster a collaborative culture with no silos, where everyone is encouraged to think out loud. If you are passionate about your craft and don't give up until you've found a way, you will make an ideal Builder!

As a Mechanical Engineer at the Stack Forging Thermal Solutions team at Johnson Controls, you will be responsible for designing, commissioning, and improving machine subsystems used in JCI's Stack Forging Process.

This position is based onsite at our facility in Burlington, MA. Candidates must be commuting distance to the facility, or able to relocate. Various relocation packages are available. This position also requires US citizenship and/or permanent resident.

If you're right for this role, you're a skilled mechanical engineer with experience in machine design. You have experience developing designs from concept to execution, solving tough engineering challenges along the way. Having built the things that you designed, you have a sense for what might work, and what won't work. You break down larger problems into smaller ones, and translate those smaller problems into hand calculations, simulations, and benchtop experiments to de-risk your projects.

You will:

• Contribute to the design of the machines in Alloy's manufacturing system, including automated equipment for material preparation, cutting, inspection, bonding, and assembly
• Run design processes with requirements, specifications, concept generation, concept down-selection, and design reviews
• Document and communicate design process and decisions
• Drive improvement of overall equipment efficiency, manufacturing tolerance, process stability, process monitoring, machine reliability, and automation
• Refine and revisit machine requirements with cross-functional teams from product, process, applications, and operations.
• Proof-of-concept calculations and benchtop testing to inform design decisions
• System and sub-system level design and analysis; utilizing parametric modeling to evaluate trade-offs
• Own & update subsystem designs, BOM, specifications, CAD models, and drawings
• Select and manage external vendors for components and subsystems
• Statistical analysis for assembly tolerance stack up and perform root-cause analyses

What you will need required:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering
• 1+ years of experience
• Knowledge of electro-mechanical systems and/or machine design
• Familiarity with design for manufacturing, including sheet metal, machined and welded parts.
• Exposure to a variety of automation systems, such as: control cabinets, industrial sensors, PLCs, data acquisition and I/O devices.
• Experience with GD&T, CAD, and FMEA
• US Citizen and/or Permanent Resident

Preferred:

• Familiar with metal additive manufacturing, robotics, or industrial automation
• Experience with rapid prototyping: 3D printing, mill, lathe, laser cutting, CNC, hand tools
• Experience with any of the following sub-disciplines is a plus: fluid and gas handling, motion planning and control, hydraulics, laser cutting, and vacuum systems

Export Control Requirement:
This position may require access to information, technology, technical data, software, or other items subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations. Any offer of employment for this position may be contingent upon the candidate's ability to obtain and maintain any required export authorization or eligibility to access controlled items.
