Mechanical Engineer

About The Role:

The Staff Mechanical Engineer will develop new HVAC products that meet future environmental regulations and implement next generation technologies. The Staff Mechanical Engineer will work alongside product development engineers, test lab technicians, model makers and designers in a team environment. Effective interfacing with other functional groups such as Marketing, Manufacturing, Quality, Sourcing and suppliers is necessary.

• Lead project team, providing oversight to cross-functional project team.
• Lead gated reviews of major projects including the preparation of the presentation.
• Use existing vapor compression modelling systems to model and validate new product designs.
• Deep understanding of cooling systems (including refrigeration psychometrics); and electrical system requirements in order to assess internal data and supplier data.
• Coordinate prototype builds and verification testing of new designs in psychrometric test rooms.
• Collaborate with designers to specify new components/parts and review bill of materials, taking into consideration feedback from manufacturing, marketing, quality, and service parts in the final design.
• Ability to work with others on design teams to understand and translate design and process engineering requirements into product line design components, sub-systems and products.
• Work with process design engineers to develop and plan project scope and timeline using MS Project.
• Ability to understand product/component function, reliability and quality requirements.
• Collaborate with Quality/Reliability/Manufacturing/Sourcing to implement key metrics into the design of the product and ensure all reliability design goals are achieved.
• Flexibility to take on ad-hoc assignments as needed.

Must have one of the following:

• BS degree in Engineering with 7+ years of mechanical engineering experience

OR

• MS degree in Engineering with 5+ years of mechanical engineering experience

• Fundamental understanding of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics
• Design experience with vapor compression systems (Air conditioners, heat pumps, refrigerators, dehumidifiers, automotive air conditioning, etc.)
• Self-starter with ability to learn quickly and work independently under minimum direction and without day-to-day supervision.
• Ability to communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing, with a diverse audience
• Understanding of Industry-wide accepted system engineering tools
• Intermediate level skills with Microsoft;
  Word, Excel, Project and Power Point
• Organized with strong attention to detail, while managing multiple priorities
• Proven ability to implement continuous improvements and standardize processes.
