- Support technology transfer and product adaptation between global platforms and North American requirements.
- Lead technical review of project specifications, consultant drawings, and customer requirements.
- Partner with Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Quality to ensure designs are buildable, cost-effective, and aligned with production capabilities.
- Stay current on evolving HVAC regulations and integrate them into product design proactively.
- Implement structured problem-solving methodologies (e.g., 8D) to resolve design and production issues.
What we are looking for:
- Ability to travel 25% of the role
- A Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
- 10 years of mechanical design engineering experience
- 5 years in HVAC systems, preferably AHUs or refrigeration
- Experience working with global engineering/manufacturing teams strongly preferred
- Prior leadership or mentoring experience is an asset (formal or informal)
