Mechanical CREO Design Engineer

Job Title:

Design Engineer - Engineer-to-Order

Job Description

The Engineer-to-Order (ETO) Design Engineer executes mechanical design activities for comfort cooling and data center cooling programs, focusing on customizing and enhancing large commercial HVAC and chiller products. This role centers on creating, updating, and releasing high-quality 3D models, detailed CAD drawings, and accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs) within tight timelines and with a strong emphasis on error-free execution. The Design Engineer works closely with systems engineering and design staff to support an ETO group that modifies standard products for complex, customer-specific requirements, including seismic considerations, electrical changes, special coatings, and capacity variations.

This position is ideal for a mechanically focused designer who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and enjoys working on large, industrial-scale products and data center cooling solutions.

Responsibilities

+ Execute mechanical design activities for comfort cooling and data center cooling programs within an Engineer-to-Order (ETO) environment.

+ Develop, modify, and maintain 3D parametric models in CREO Parametric, including working with legacy models that may require significant updates.

+ Create and update detailed CAD drawings, ensuring compliance with drafting standards and procedures and proper application of GD&T for design.

+ Generate, manage, and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) within Windchill, including complex industrial products with 3,000-5,000 BOM items.

+ Use CREO features such as Simplified Representations and Family Tables to efficiently manage product variants and ETO configurations.

+ Support customization of standard products for ETO projects, including seismic considerations, color changes, electrical changes, special coatings, UPS, power/voltage variations, and capacity changes.

+ Work with Top Level Assemblies and manage large assembly models, ensuring performance and accuracy in a complex product environment.

+ Incorporate manufacturing considerations into designs, with a strong understanding of basic metal fabrication and manufacturing processes and their design impacts.

+ Design and support sheet metal and piping components and assemblies, collaborating with manufacturing teams to ensure producibility.

+ Participate in and support the Engineering Change process, including Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and Engineering Change Notices (ECNs), ensuring accurate and timely updates.

+ Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams, including custom, large, medium, and small product engineering groups, as well as new product development and sustaining teams.

+ Ensure the quality, accuracy, and completeness of all design work, meeting hardline schedule deliverables and project milestones.

+ Apply a general understanding of electro-mechanical control systems and electrical components to support integration within mechanical designs.

+ Document design decisions, maintain design records, and support design reviews by providing clear models, drawings, and BOMs.

+ Contribute creative ideas for product design improvements and support product development activities as needed.

+ Communicate effectively with engineers, project stakeholders, and manufacturing teams to clarify requirements, resolve issues, and support successful project execution.

Essential Skills

+ Bachelor's Degree in Engineering with 3+ years of experience in Mechanical Design, OR Associate's Degree in Engineering with 5+ years of experience in Mechanical Design.

+ At least 2 years of recent, hands-on experience with CREO Parametric in a professional setting.

+ Proven experience with complex 3D parametric modeling, including working with Simplified Representations and Family Tables in CREO.

+ Strong proficiency with PDM Windchill, including BOM creation, maintenance, and management within a PLM environment.

+ Solid understanding and practical experience with drafting standards and procedures, including Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) for design.

+ Experience working with complex industrial products and large BOM structures (approximately 3,000-5,000 BOM items).

+

Experience with Engineering Change processes, including Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and Engineering Change Notices (ECNs).

+

Experience with sheet metal design and related manufacturing processes.

+

Experience with piping design and related manufacturing processes.

+ Experience working with Top Level Assemblies and managing large assemblies in a CAD environment.

+ Working knowledge of manufacturing fabrication and assembly methods, especially basic metal fabrication and its impact on design.

+ Mechanical aptitude and the ability to translate functional requirements into robust mechanical designs.

+ Strong problem-solving and advanced analytical skills applied to mechanical design challenges.

+ Strong written and verbal communication skills for effective collaboration across engineering and…
