As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer supporting centrifugal blowers, you will provide hands-on product engineering and technical leadership for centrifugal blower products and related industrial equipment. This role combines detailed sustaining engineering with advanced analysis, testing, engineering-tool development, and ownership of complex product, manufacturing, supplier, and field issues.

You will move between drawings, bills of material, engineering changes, shop-floor troubleshooting, test work, analytical studies, and cross-functional coordination. The successful candidate is highly self-directed and able to establish the technical path, coordinate the right resources, and drive difficult work through closure with limited day-to-day direction.

• Own complex sustaining-engineering, manufacturing, supplier, test, and field problems from initial definition through investigation, corrective action, documentation, and closure.
• Provide hands-on engineering support for centrifugal blowers, blower packages, and related mechanical systems, including work in production, assembly, and test environments.
• Create and revise three-dimensional models, engineering drawings, specifications, bills of material, and product documentation.
• Prepare and process engineering changes while maintaining accurate design records and product configuration.
• Lead root-cause investigations and develop practical corrective actions that balance technical quality, schedule, cost, manufacturing, and customer needs.
• Plan and execute mechanical, performance, vibration, temperature, pressure, and functional testing.
• Develop test plans, test specifications, acceptance criteria, data-reduction methods, and test reports.
• Investigate and apply applicable performance-test methods and standards, including ASME PTC 10 and ASME PTC 13 where relevant.
• Perform or lead advanced engineering analysis such as computational fluid dynamics, finite element analysis, rotor dynamics, vibration analysis, thermal analysis, and blower-performance evaluation based on project needs and individual expertise.
• Analyze test and field data, reconcile differences between predictions and measured results, and document technical conclusions and recommendations.
• Identify repetitive or inefficient engineering processes and develop calculators, scripts, automated…
