Product Development Engineer

The Development Engineer I will assist in water cooled, centrifugal-chiller product development, validation, and launch. Alongside the above deliverable, will be a focus in technology integration into existing and future platforms.

A Day in the Life:

• Technical System Development of HVAC equipment using engineering fundamentals such as heat transfer, fluid dynamics and mechanical analysis.

• Integral part of a fast-paced stage gate development process and reporting out on progress to upper management.

• Collaborate with Product management to translate requirements into product.

• Supporting the design, integration, and validation of the following subsystems:

• Single & multi-stage, centrifugal compressors

• Refrigeration system piping

• Tube and shell HX (evaporator / condenser applications)

• Economized, multistage compression systems.

• Assist in the integration and validation of the follow subsystems:

• 1 & 2 phase cooled VFDs.

• Chiller controls hardware and software.

• Give technical input to create concepts and develop system prototypes.

• Collaborate closely with CAD designers to model architecture of new product.

• Collaborate with advanced simulation teams to perform FEA and CFD analysis of design.

• Coordinate with manufacturing and supply chain personnel to ensure manufacturability of product.

• Provide Manufacturing support for Concept and Prototype unit builds.

• Oversight of laboratory testing; including creation of test plans, direction during testing and analysis of data collected during testing.

• Initiate and obtain agency and regulatory approval status for new product (UL, ETL, CRN, ASME, CE, etc)

• Making technical and product decisions throughout the development process.

• Producing technical documentation to support the Marketing launch of new product and product options.

• Providing infant support for newly released product; including:

• Review of training program documentation

• Supporting Application Engineering and Sales

• Assist in various Cost Improvement Goals, proposing innovative ideas and initiating cost reduction and product improvement efforts to increase the overall value of the product.

• Provide a clean, detailed, and strong transfer of newly released product to sustaining engineering team, to support product for years to come.

What you will Bring:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering (Mechanical preferred)

• Minimum of 0 - 2 years of related experience (HVAC, Industrial Process, or similar)

• Requires detailed knowledge of engineering, preferably in the HVAC industry.

• PC skills including Microsoft office applications.

• Basic skills with CAD applications, a plus.

• Strong organizational, interpersonal and communications skills
