The New Product Development (NPD) Project Engineer IV leads and contributes to new product development programs with a strong emphasis on systems integration and program execution. This role is responsible for technical leadership of cross-functional development teams delivering integrated generator systems and subsystems from concept through production launch. The NPD Project Engineer applies advanced mechanical or electrical engineering expertise to ensure system-level performance, manufacturability, cost, quality, and schedule objectives are successfully achieved.

• Lead technical execution of new product development programs, serving as a system-level engineer responsible for integration, design maturity, and on-time delivery.
• Lead teams to Architect, design, and integrate complex mechanical and electrical systems for generator and power generation products, including engines, alternators, enclosures, controls, and supporting subsystems as applicable.
• Translate customer, regulatory, and business requirements into system- and component-level functional and performance requirements.
• Design, test, and integrate complex components and assemblies; evaluate designs for effectiveness, cost (including cost/benefit analysis), reliability (risk analysis), safety, and compliance.
• Drive design reviews and technical decision-making, ensuring system integration risks are identified early and mitigated through structured problem solving.
• Develop, execute, and evaluate fitness-for-use testing, product specifications, and process validation plans for complex generator systems and components.
• Utilize CAD and CAE tools (Creo) to develop system layouts, component designs, and detailed engineering drawings supporting integrated designs.
• Collaborate with manufacturing engineering, suppliers, and contract manufacturers to optimize generator designs for manufacturability, scalability, quality, and serviceability.
• Support program planning and execution by contributing to development schedules, cost estimates, design input tracking, and launch readiness activities.
• Lead root-cause analysis and corrective actions for integration, performance, or quality issues identified during development, validation, or early production.
• Apply engineering judgment to balance technical performance, cost, risk, and schedule tradeoffs, making informed recommendations to program and functional leadership.
• Actively mentor and coach less experienced engineers, particularly in systems thinking, integration discipline, and design best practices.
• Use SAP and Change Request processes within the assigned functional area, supporting engineering data integrity, BOM management, and program execution processes.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of engineering standards, system guidelines, and procedures.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.

• Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Minimum of 9 years of progressive engineering experience in new product development of complex electromechanical systems.
• Demonstrated experience with generator or power generation products, including system level integration and cross functional execution.

• Strong systems level engineering capability with the ability to integrate mechanical, electrical, and controls elements into cohesive product solutions.
