Project Engineer

What you will get to do:

• Take initiative on customer issues: own the diagnosis, identify solution steps, and drive resolution forward as the mediator between customer needs and engineering resources
• Translate across teams: clearly communicate requirements, design changes, production feedback, and open issues to engineers in India
• Gather field data, photos, measurements, equipment specs, and redlines needed to move work forward
• Coordinate design reviews, technical clarifications, drawing updates, BOMs, approvals, and engineering changes
• Review drawings, models, schematics, P&IDs, panel layouts, and technical documents for completeness and manufacturability
• Support troubleshooting during fabrication, assembly, testing, commissioning, and field service
• Maintain project schedules, action lists, issue logs, deliverable trackers, and regular status updates across U.S. and India teams
• Prioritize work based on urgency and impact; communicate clearly on what's blocking progress
• International travel twice per year

What will make you successful:

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, industrial, mechatronics, or related engineering field
• 5+ years professional experience; at least 2+ years in similar engineering coordination, field engineering, or technical support role
• Real manufacturing experience, ideally in HVAC or integrated systems
• Proactive, independent problem-solver who asks: "How do I find the resources to close this as soon as possible?"
• Drive to learn how systems work together—refrigeration, electrical, mechanical, controls—whatever it takes to solve the problem
• Flexible, adaptable mindset; willing to pivot based on what the project needs
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, refrigeration piping diagrams, P&IDs, electrical schematics, panel layouts, and BOMs
• Understanding of refrigeration/HVAC fundamentals, heat transfer, and fluid flow
• Familiarity with CO, ammonia, halocarbon, chilled-water, rack, or chiller systems (preferred)
• Working knowledge of electrical controls, ladder logic, PLC-based systems, VFDs, and panel wiring (preferred)
• Basic SolidWorks experience
• Strong mechanical and electro-mechanical aptitude; comfortable working on the floor and collaborating with production teams
• Ability to ask the right questions and understand how components integrate into a complete system
• Excellent written and verbal communication—clear, concise, and confident across technical and non-technical audiences
• Experience working with cross functional teams
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Teams, project-tracking tools, and ERP/document-control systems
• Ability to work independently at customer sites and coordinate across multiple teams and time zones
