Indianapolis, IN, United States

The Engineer – EPG Product Development is responsible for supporting the approved design catalog for Electric Power Strategic Accounts. This role assists in translating customer Basis of Design (BoD) requirements into scalable, catalog-based solutions, evaluates design deviations, validates supplier-proposed designs, and drives continuous product improvements. Serving as the engineering technical resource for approved configurations, the role partners with customers, suppliers, and internal stakeholders to ensure compliant, repeatable, and efficient project execution across the portfolio.

• Support the catalog of approved power system configurations, ensuring alignment with customer requirements, BoD standards, and business needs
• Assist in Translating customer requirements into approved technical solutions and manager configuration, change control, and catalog updates
• Identify design gaps and develop new configurations to support current and future project needs
• Review supplier design requirements and support validation activities to ensure alignment with established requirements, engineering standards, and product objectives
• Partner with supplier engineering and quality teams to evaluate technical feasibility, performance, and implementation risks
• Provide technical input on supplier solutions for catalog inclusion and elevate concerns as appropriate

• Evaluate requests that fall outside approved catalog configurations and recommend appropriate resolution paths, including one-time approvals, catalog enhancements, or rejection
• Support design-related discussions with customers and internal stakeholders, providing engineering input and technical guidance as needed
• Assess the impact of specification, BoD, and design changes on approved configurations and project execution

• Provide engineering support for design-related field escalations and recurring technical issues
• Evaluate field performance, failure trends, and corrective actions and recommend design revisions or catalog updates
• Partner with project, quality, and field teams to drive effective resolution of design-related concerns

• Participate in technical evaluation of Value Engineering and New Product Introduction opportunities
• Assess proposed changes for technical feasibility, BoD compliance, and implementation impact
• Use supplier, project execution, quality, and field performance data to improve product standardization, scalability, and catalog effectiveness
