Design Engineer (Cooling Systems) - 714/711

Position’s Contributions to Work Group :

Designs, develops, builds, and implements new cooling system components, products, or technologies.

Responsibilities

• 3D design components/systems Organizing, coordinating, and executing the building, testing, and analysis of prototypes.

• Extensive customer communication and collaboration, developing a production ready product.

• Assisting supply specialists and buyers with supplier development and supplier performance. Overseeing the efforts of drafting and testing specialists.

• Developing and documenting functional requirements and translating into detail design documents. Participating in buy-build analysis for product components.

• Participating in and supporting proposal preparation, cost estimates, and technical reports.

Typical task breakdown:

The main function of a cooling design engineer is to apply the principles of mechanical engineering design, development, testing, and evaluation of the hardware and systems that make cooling systems work. A typical design engineer analyzes customer cooling requirements, and then designs, tests, and develops hardware to meet those needs.

Job Responsibilities:

• Create new or modify existing cooling components or systems based on customer/project requirements through extensive collaboration.

• Work as part of a project team to coordinate component/system development and determine project scope and limitations.

• Review project requests describing customer needs to estimate time and cost required to accomplish project.

• High ability to work independently and manage one’s time.

• Intermediate knowledge of a cooling component/system development lifecycle: from customer engagement, through requirements gathering and functional specification authoring, to design development, testing and product delivery.

• Intermediate ability to troubleshoot issues and make system changes as needed to resolve issues. • Basic knowledge of thermodynamics, thermal simulation and structural analysis.

• High knowledge of Creo 3D modeling tools, Teamcenter processes and print creation/releasing.

- Builds three-dimensional models with basic materials.

- Communicates with cross-function engineering teams (internally and externally) to understand various requirements of product design.

- Tests and evaluates alternative means of production being considered for use.

- Uses automated tools to design or modify the design of a product.

- Assists in building a complex prototype of product.

Interaction with team :

Daily team (internal and customer) interactions including, but not limited to, in-- person and virtual meetings.

Work environment :

Office environment/cubical

Education & Experience Required:

- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or relevant field required.
