About The Position

The Senior Design Engineer is responsible for conceptual designs, modeling, and detailed drawings of air mover components and assemblies. The role leads complex design projects involving multiple components, complex 3D models, and significant technical design decisions, while mentoring team members and contributing to organizational strategic initiatives. The position organizes and leads design reviews, develops prototypes and product structures, and creates or updates detailed drawings using Creo in accordance with applicable ISO and ANSI standards. It applies engineering knowledge of manufacturing capabilities, materials, tolerances, and sheet metal processes to ensure designs meet project and manufacturing requirements. The role also uses Creo, Windchill, SAP, and EDM, and provides technical guidance to other Design Engineers.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering.
6–10 years of engineering design and/or manufacturing experience, including proficiency in design methods, engineering materials, and associated manufacturing processes.
Hands-on experience in sheet metal design, including flat pattern development, bend allowances, and sheet metal fabrication processes.
Experience using Creo, Windchill, SAP, and EDM.
Ability to apply relevant mathematical concepts to practical situations.

Responsibilities

Organize and lead Design Review meetings; record action items, assign tasks, track workflow, and close tasks upon completion.
Lead complex design projects, including test equipment assemblies and other multi-component systems; develop complex 3D models, make technical design decisions, and ensure designs meet project and manufacturing requirements.
Create Bills of Materials (BOMs) and product structures.
Design prototypes using knowledge of manufacturing capabilities, model prototypes in 3D using Creo, identify critical tooling requirements, and assist with prototype assembly.
Apply parametric and surface modeling techniques in Creo to modify existing 3D models and develop new designs, when applicable.
Design components with appropriate manufacturing tolerances and coordinate special-order component requirements with the Sourcing Department.
Create and update detailed drawings in Creo in accordance with applicable ISO and ANSI standards, using proper dimensioning, tolerancing, and drafting practices.
Use Creo, Windchill, SAP, and EDM in performing the job.
Apply mathematical concepts including probability, statistical inference, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, fractions, percentages, ratios, and proportions to practical situations.
Use applicable skills and methods including sheet metal flat pattern development, bend tables, conceptual design, assembly creation, design development, materials, plating and painting, bend reliefs, tolerance issues, quality initiatives, GDT conversions, drafting, drawing conversion, data management, SAP terminal usage, FMEA, project management, and ECO processing.
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to other Design Engineers, supporting problem-solving, design reviews, and knowledge sharing.
Perform other duties as assigned.
Follow Employee Handbook policies and procedures and uphold organizational values.
Contribute to a positive work environment.
Report for work consistently and on time.
Report unsafe conditions or practices to supervision.
