Lead Value Analysis / Value Engineering (VA/VE) activities to improve product value through optimization of cost, performance, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, and lifecycle considerations
Identify and prioritize cost-reduction opportunities through design simplification, component standardization, material and process selection, supplier alternatives, and reduction of part count and manufacturing complexity
Partner with Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, Service, Sales, and other stakeholders to identify and evaluate product improvement opportunities
Develop technical and business justification for proposed changes, including cost-benefit analysis, implementation cost, technical risk, validation requirements, and expected savings
Ensure cost-reduction initiatives preserve or improve product performance, safety, reliability, regulatory compliance, and customer value
Promote Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA), standardization, modular design, and reuse of proven architectures across product families
Establish methods to track and communicate the technical and financial impact of implemented VA/VE initiatives

TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP

Serve as a technical authority for complex mechanical and multidisciplinary engineering challenges, providing guidance and direction across projects, product families, and the broader engineering organization
Lead design reviews and provide technical oversight for critical product architecture, design decisions, analytical methods, and validation strategies
Mentor engineers and support development of technical capability, engineering judgment, and engineering best practices throughout the organization
Identify and advance opportunities to improve product architecture, engineering methods, design practices, and technical capability across product families
Drive systematic resolution of complex or recurring technical problems through root-cause analysis, engineering analysis, testing, and corrective action
Represent Engineering in technically complex customer, supplier, and cross-functional discussions, providing technical expertise and supporting resolution of critical issues

NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERING

Lead the design and development of innovative products and systems from initial concept through final production
Lead technical feasibility and trade-off studies considering product performance, cost targets, manufacturability, reliability, technical risk, and schedule to guide product-development decisions
Develop detailed design specifications, 3D models, and engineering drawings of fabricated parts and assemblies using CAD systems
Specify and evaluate purchased components, subsystems, and services
Perform simulations, prototyping, and testing to validate designs and ensure product performance and reliability meet all specifications
Collaborate with Marketing and Sales teams to align product development with market needs and customer requirements
Establish and drive design-to-cost objectives during new product development, balancing customer requirements, product performance, reliability, and total delivered cost

PROJECT LEADERSHIP

Provide technical leadership for complex product-development programs, establishing technical direction, resolving critical design issues, managing technical risk, and supporting achievement of project cost, schedule, and performance objectives
Coordinate with cross-functional teams including Design, Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain to ensure project success
Monitor project progress, identify and resolve issues, and communicate status updates to stakeholders
Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards, regulations, and company policies

Ensure compliance with and contribute to continuous improvement of company standards and Engineering department processes and best practices
Support Lean initiatives and continual compliance with ISO 9001 standards and procedures
Contribute to the development and execution of engineering strategic goals, initiatives, and standards
Maintain awareness of industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in mechanical and HVAC engineering, and promote relevant knowledge and technology adoption across the engineering organization
Share technical knowledge, lessons learned, and best practices with other members of the engineering team
Contribute to a positive work atmosphere by collaborating with your peers and participating in team engagement events
Comply with company safety and health rules and policies and promote safe work practices. Report any safety concerns to senior managers
