Mechanical Designer II

Lippert • Dallastown, PA

79d

About The Position

The Mechanical Engineer II applies a solid foundation of engineering experience to solving increasingly more difficult assignments, managing multiple priorities, leveraging known resources, doing so with minimal amounts of direct supervision. The types of problems include existing products, new products, and/or as-yet-undeveloped ideas that begin to focus more on system or sub-system solutions rather than component-specific problems. Support existing production products through VAVE and Continuous Improvement efforts.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or similar technical degree is preferred.
• Solid mechanical engineering experience; engineers components and systems with little supervisory technical oversight.
• Experience and knowledge working with electromechanical types of components and/or subsystems.
• Strong working knowledge of drawing detailing and GD&T practices.
• Demonstrated working knowledge of tolerance stack-up analysis (TSA).
• Practical working knowledge of stage-gate development processes.
• Strong team player skills and able to work well with others and support internal/external customer needs.
• Understanding of DFM, FMEA, PPAP principles and regulatory compliance (SHRAE, UL, SAE, IMACA).
• <5000 hours experience using SolidWorks or other similar 3D CAD packages.
• >500 hours experience using FEA programs (ideally SolidWorks Simulation).

Nice To Haves

• 4-6 years experience in related field.
• Experience in the design and manufacturing of air conditioning and refrigeration products.

Responsibilities

• Designs complete mechanical systems, products or product families of large scope for products ranging from simple products to complex systems to satisfy customer requirements.
• Directs, coordinates, supports and/or audits manufacturing and assembly activities to ensure products and systems conform to engineering design specifications and customer expectations.
• May provide technical leadership for a project team.
• Research and analyze data such as internal customer product proposals, drawings/specifications, application, and manuals to determine feasibility of design or application considering cost, time, and other factors.
• Predicts test performance based on sound engineering practices.
• Plans and directs personnel in fabrication of test equipment and develops methods and procedures for testing products or systems.
• May perform hands-on preliminary testing of concepts.
• Analyzes test data for viability of accuracy and development of products.
• Participates in and often directs the hands-on assembly or prototyping of engineering concepts and/or Alpha build products.
• Investigates and solves problems that affect scrap, warranty/reliability and product cost for new and/or existing products.
• Practices use of stage gate development methods, engineering tools, and related industry standards.
• Communicates design intent through creation of robust engineering or product specifications.

Benefits

• Full-time position with expected work hours of 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday.
• Weekend and overnight work is also necessary.
• Travel is expected approximately 5-8 times per year (total of 10-20 overnights).
