Drive Product Development projects for the refrigeration business with a focus on structural components and vacuum-insulated doors and cabinets. Handle multiple projects simultaneously and drive them to implementation using the concurrent engineering mindset by closely working with key stakeholders such as system integrators, cooling and thermal subsystems, industrial engineers, marketing, verification and validation teams, controls, sourcing and procurement, manufacturing, etc. Concurrent engineering application: starting with multiple concept development and converging to preferred concepts by use of concept evaluation tools, design development, simulation, and verification and validation methods. Develop detailed design considering key metrics (material, manufacturability, design for manufacturing and design for assembly, cost, aesthetics, craftsmanship, safety, etc.). Design capture by use of Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), requirements capture, design guides, drawings, Tol Stacks, A3s, etc. Use Six Sigma tools and fundamentals to drive product development. Use critical thinking, Design of Experiments (DOEs), Component of Variations (COVs), Thought Maps, Process Maps, etc. Submit simulation requests with clear boundary condition definitions and interpreting results to make necessary design modifications. Use tolerance analysis to drive sensitivity in the simulation results. Work with system integrators to build planners to build prototypes and product components. Work with Procurement teams and suppliers to support product builds. Drive intellectual property protection by submitting patent applications. Develop a sub-system/technology roadmap in line with the architecture/functional roadmap to support Platform and regional Product Plans, focusing on new product introductions. Drive tradeoffs across workstreams to deliver subsystem-level attribute targets. May work from home one day per week (Friday).

REQUIREMENTS:  Bachelor's degree (or foreign equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering or related field plus 3 years of experience in the offered position or related occupation.
