The Impact You'll Make

The Senior Engineer, Engineering Excellence Coordinator, leads moderately complex engineering process improvement

improvement activities in standard works, project execution discipline, engineering dashboards, process mapping, problem

solving, knowledge capture, and all CI activities that improve engineering productivity, quality, traceability, launch readiness,

and cross-site collaboration.

This role coordinates engineering continuous improvement activities that make R&D, NPD, CPE, test lab, and product

compliance work more effective, repeatable, and measurable. The Senior Engineer, Engineering Excellence Coordinator has

direct impact on engineering execution speed, process reliability, documentation quality, resource visibility, problem-solving

discipline, lessons learned deployment, onboarding effectiveness, and consistent use of engineering standards across sites

and regions. The salary range for this role is 77K - 110K based on experience and industry knowledge.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead assigned engineering process improvement initiatives across R&D, NPD, CPE, test lab, product compliance, and engineering support functions.
• Map current engineering workflows, identify gaps, define improved future-state processes, and coordinate implementation of standard work across sites.
• Develop and maintain engineering dashboards, process indicators, action trackers, visual management routines, and performance review materials for the engineering organization.
• Support project execution discipline by improving templates, checklists, stage-gate practices, design review preparation, risk reviews, decision logs, and lessons learned processes.
• Facilitate structured problem solving, Kaizen activities, process reviews, standard work workshops, and cross-functional improvement events.
• Coordinate engineering knowledge capture, best practice sharing, onboarding material, training content, and deployment of common methods across global teams.
• Improve documentation control, traceability, data quality, test report consistency, engineering change readiness, and technical evidence management.
• Partner with engineering managers and technical leaders to identify bottlenecks, resource constraints, recurring issues, process variation, and improvement priorities.
• Support alignment between engineering processes and Danfoss Business System or Lean practices, including daily management, 5S, standard work, visual management, and sustainment.
• Coordinate implementation of digital tools, reporting routines, file structures, knowledge repositories, and collaboration practices that improve engineering efficiency.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, engineering management, continuous improvement, or a

related technical field required; master's degree or advanced technical/business education preferred.

• Relevant experience in engineering, product development, current product engineering, process improvement, Lean, project

coordination, operations support, or continuous improvement roles.

• Demonstrated ability to lead moderately complex improvement projects, coordinate cross-functional stakeholders, communicate

requirements, and deliver measurable process improvements with limited supervision.

• Experience with Lean, Kaizen, structured problem solving, process mapping, dashboards, standard work, visual management,

action tracking, and project execution routines preferred.

• Experience working with engineering documentation, test reports, design reviews, project governance, engineering change

processes, or product lifecycle processes preferred.

• Ability to communicate clearly with engineers, managers, technical leaders, operations teams, quality teams, and cross-functional

stakeholders.

What You'll Get from Us

• We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
• You'll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.
