Mechanical Design Engineer

Brief Job Description:
The Mechanical Design Engineer will be responsible for developing and executing mechanical design activities for Chilled Water Systems products. This includes creating detailed 3D CAD models, mechanical assemblies, 2D manufacturing drawings, piping layouts, and Bill of Materials (BOM), ensuring that all engineering deliverables meet design requirements, quality standards, and manufacturing specifications.

The position requires strong design capabilities, the ability to translate engineering concepts and requirements into detailed mechanical designs, and ownership of assigned design tasks from initial concept through final engineering release.

The engineer will work closely with Lead Engineers, Thermal Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Manufacturing, and Quality teams to ensure design integration, manufacturability, and continuous improvement.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Mechanical Design & Development

• Develop detailed 3D CAD models of mechanical components, parts, and complex assemblies for Chilled Water Systems products.
• Create and release 2D manufacturing drawings, including dimensions, tolerances, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), welding details, and manufacturing specifications.
• Develop mechanical layouts, piping arrangements, sheet metal designs, structural frames, brackets, and equipment mounting solutions.
• Generate and maintain engineering Bills of Materials (BOM), ensuring accuracy and alignment between 3D models, drawings, and product structures.
• Develop and maintain product design documentation and engineering data within Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Product Data Management (PDM) systems.
• Support design reviews by presenting mechanical designs, identifying potential issues, and implementing agreed improvements.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing and Quality teams to resolve production issues, improve product manufacturability, and implement engineering changes.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
