Sr. Design Engineer

“Cooler By Design” - Chart’s principal focus is the design and fabrication of cryogenic equipment; so you can see where we get our tagline from, right? Well, yes and no – we think the stuff we design and build is pretty cool too. What’s more, we’re problem solvers. Customers don’t come to Chart with an equipment specification, they come with a challenge. That’s where you come in – you figure it out from conceptual design to installation and commissioning of equipment on site. The applications we service are diverse – from launching rockets into space to providing low‑carbon energy for vehicles, industries, and communities, to preserving critical human and animal tissue. Chart equipment also supplies the carbonated beverages at fast‑food outlets and the nitro coffee and nitro ice cream behind the counter. Take a tour of Chart City to see how Chart equipment solutions impact our daily lives. Chart Industries is looking for a SR Design Engineer for our office in Buffalo, NY – Aftermaket Division .
