In this role at Momentive Technologies, you will collaborate across commercial, technology, and operations teams to design cutting‑edge thermal management and heater products tailored to customer needs. You'll drive development projects from concept to production, establishing technical constraints, creating application data through targeted testing, and enabling seamless manufacturing integration. In this dynamic role, you'll support sales growth by evaluating customer requirements, delivering compelling presentations, and identifying emerging market opportunities.

Your insights will shape our technical roadmap as you propose forward‑thinking improvements to products and processes that elevate performance and customer satisfaction.

• Partner with the commercial, technology, and operations teams to support customer development activities. Specifically, the engineer will design thermal management and heater products in conjunction with the customer to optimize thermal properties, material compatibility, and physical layout. The engineer will establish design constraints and timeline for development projects.
• Support the commercial team to develop the sales pipeline by reviewing customer requirements, conducting product presentations, and evaluating market trends.
• Understand customers' testing requirements to develop test capabilities and generate application data.
• Facilitate production of newly designed products with the operations team, defining process requirements, training operators, identifying supply chain requirements, and writing necessary documentation.
• Support quoting process by evaluating feasibility based on capability and defining materials, machine, and operations requirements.
• Help develop technical roadmaps and by suggesting process and product improvements to fit customers' needs

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical, aerospace or chemical engineering with 5+ years of experience in aerospace, semiconductor equipment manufacturing or related fields.
• Experience in CAD tools such as Solidworks for modelling and drawing generation and/or Ansys for thermal and structural simulation.
• Basic knowledge of mechanical and dimensional characterization tools including CMM, mechanical and thermal property characterization and non‑destructive material testing such as x‑ray and/or ultrasound imaging.
• Ability to complete hands‑on work in an industrial environment with necessary PPE.
• Ability to independently prioritize tasks based on timeline and corporate goals.
• Ability to communicate with customers clearly and independently on development projects.

• Familiarity with version control systems and product data management such as Solidworks PDM or Creo Windchill.
• Experience with data analysis and statistical process control.
• Knowledge of engineering materials and engineering drawings.
• Basic knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
