Mechanical Product Design & Development Engineer HVCC Systems

Key Responsibilities

Own and manage the engineering standard parts library, including mechanical, electrical, and purchased components

Partner with design engineers during concept and detailed design phases to ensure use of approved standard parts

Review and approve new part creation requests to prevent duplication and promote reuse

Define, document, and maintain engineering standards, specifications, and best practices for standard components

Maintain accurate part attributes, NX CAD models, drawings, and metadata within PDM/PLM systems

Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering and Supply Chain to ensure standards align with sourcing and production capabilities

Support cost, weight, and part-count reduction initiatives through standardization

Analyze part usage data to identify opportunities for consolidation and simplification

Produce detailed drawings utilizing GD&T and CAD Infrastructure engineering best practices.

Produce accurate GD&T tolerance studies.

Participates in the preparation of semi-complex sketches, design layouts, and other specifications.

Support detailed engineering analysis of new and existing designs to verify robustness and design intent.

Design for Excellence (DFX): Apply strict Design for Manufacturability, Assembly, and Serviceability (DFMA) principles to ensure modules minimize laboratory downtime and require minimal manual maintenance.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Assay R&D, Systems Engineering, Software, and Manufacturing teams to bridge the gap between biochemistry protocols and hardware execution.

V&V and Regulatory Compliance: Author hardware requirements, risk assessments (FMEAs), and execute comprehensive Verification and Validation (V&V) protocols in alignment with ISO 13485 and FDA QSR.
