Description:
A successful candidate will bring a solid foundation in mechanical product development, demonstrated project leadership capabilities, and a deep understanding of the NPDI process, CAD tools (preferably PTC Creo), and PLM systems. Familiarity with low-voltage electrical systems and thermal design concepts is preferred.
Responsibilities
- Lead mechanical engineering activities for New Product Development projects, from concept through production launch.
- Provide technical direction for component and system-level design, validation, and integration across cross-functional teams.
- Develop and manage 3D models, 2D drawings, and product documentation using PTC Creo and PLM tools.
- Coordinate BoM creation, product release activities, and Engineering Change Orders using PLM tools.
- Collaborate with electrical engineering and thermal teams to ensure effective integration of subsystems, including low-voltage components.
- Support lab validation, root cause analysis, and resolution of product issues across prototype and production phases.
- Contribute to cost reduction, quality improvement, and manufacturability enhancement initiatives.
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering
- Minimum 7 years of mechanical product development experience, preferably in Low Voltage HVAC, thermal systems, or related industries.
- Proven experience leading or driving cross-functional product development efforts.
- Proficiency in 3D CAD tools (PTC Creo preferred), including familiarity with documentation and Model Based Definition (MBD).
- Working knowledge of NPDI or Stage Gate product development processes.
- Experience with PLM systems (PD Cloud, Agile, Windchill, or equivalent).
- Sheet metal design experience and understanding of design for DFM principles.
- Preferred: Familiarity with thermal design considerations and low-voltage electrical component integration.
- Strong problem-solving and communication skills; ability to manage tasks across global teams.
- Fluent in English; ability to travel as needed.
