- Manufacturing Efficiency: Participate in Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFMA) and Design for Excellence (DFx) reviews to support cost reduction and enhance manufacturing efficiency.
- Lifecycle Management: Execute Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) as part of product release and lifecycle management, coordinating with cross-functional teams for smooth implementation.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with Sales, Project Management, Purchasing, and Manufacturing teams to support customer inquiries and resolve technical problems.
What You'll Bring to the Team:- Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering, or an equivalent engineering discipline.
- Experience: 4-6 years of experience in mechanical design, with an emphasis on data center cooling, HVAC, and plumbing systems.
- Technical Proficiency: Advanced proficiency with 3D modeling software, specifically SolidWorks and SolidWorks PDM, to manage complex designs and assemblies.
- Industry Expertise: Strong knowledge of ASHRAE standards (specifically TC 9.9), thermal guidelines for data processing environments, and a working understanding of BMS/EPMS integration.
- First Principles: Ability to solve engineering problems, including thermodynamic and fluid flow challenges, utilizing a first principles approach to design and analysis.
- Code Application: Working knowledge of building codes, energy codes, and UL listings, with the ability to interpret and apply them to designs.
- Detail Orientation: Meticulous commitment to detail ensuring precision in design, analysis, and documentation.
- Safety and Compliance: This position is designated a safety-sensitive position and/or is located in a safety-sensitive facility. Drug and alcohol program participation is required.
- Physical & Operational Requirements: Ability to lift/move up to 50 lbs and stand/walk for extended periods.
Bonus Points:- Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
- Engineer in Training (EIT) and/or Professional Engineer (PE) License.
- Experience performing CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) modeling for airflow and thermal optimization.
- Experience using Enterprise/Manufacturing Resource Planning (ERP/MRP) software.
- Experience with simulation and analysis software, such as FEA or FDM.
