Role Overview

As a Sr. Product Engineer, you will contribute to the design, testing, analysis, and continuous improvement of air- and water-cooled chiller platforms. You will help move product concepts from development through validation and release, while supporting sustaining engineering, documentation, and cross-functional execution.

What will you do?

• Perform mechanical and electrical engineering analysis to support product design, development, and issue resolution.
• Lead detailed design work for special requirements, including component and system selection for chiller applications.
• Partner with design and drafting teams on layout concepts, system configurations, engineering drawings, electrical schematics, and bill of materials.
• Prepare, review, and coordinate engineering documentation and release packages supporting design changes and manufacturing.
• Develop, execute, and analyze test programs to validate performance, reliability, and controls interactions of electro-mechanical components.
• Support manufacturing, laboratory, service, applications, product marketing, and product technical service teams with technical direction and troubleshooting.
• Investigate product design proposals, implement approved changes, and apply lessons learned to sustaining and new product development.
• Track project status and support on-time completion across multiple programs and priorities.

How will you do it?

• Own your work with accountability, safety, and integrity, and keep technical decisions traceable through clear documentation.
• Stay close to the work by partnering with lab, production, service, and applications teams to remove obstacles quickly.
• Use testing, analysis, and prototype feedback to drive continuous improvement, candid problem-solving, and stronger product outcomes.
• Work as one team with engineering, drafting, marketing, and factory stakeholders, respecting diverse perspectives and shared goals.
• Use CAD models, physical prototypes, and product data to move concepts efficiently through design, validation, and release.
• Apply engineering rigor while balancing priorities, schedules, and technical trade-offs across several active projects.

What are we looking for? 

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, ABET accredited, or related science/equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of experience in product engineering, design engineering, or a related field.
• Experience working in a product development environment for mechanical systems or commercial/industrial HVAC equipment.
• Strong understanding of mechanical and electrical engineering analysis, component selection, and troubleshooting.
• Hands-on experience with engineering drawings, electrical schematics, bill of materials, CAD models, and physical prototypes.
• Ability to prepare and interpret test data, technical documentation, and release packages.
• Working knowledge of regulatory codes such as UL, CE, PED, and ASME.
• Basic business understanding and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a cross-functional environment.

What do we offer?

• Comprehensive benefits package.
