Release designs and manage Engineering Change Orders in PLM systems such as Oracle PD Cloud, or Windchill.

Support design transfers and day-to-day collaboration between engineering teams in different regions.

Design mechanical solutions for finned-tube heat exchangers, sheet-metal and piping assemblies while collaborating with suppliers, procurement and industrial engineering.

Meet cost, quality, environmental and schedule objectives while balancing market and internal customer needs.

Support lab validation, test planning, data review and issue resolution across prototype and production phases.

Analyze and resolve technical problems, updating and improving drawings based on feedback from production, procurement and logistics to simplify assembly, reduce cost and improve quality.

Provide input to cost reduction, quality improvement and manufacturability initiatives.

Coordinate with electrical and thermal teams to ensure effective integration of subsystems, including low-voltage components when needed.

Maintain accurate documentation and data across PLM and related systems.

Requirements:

Proficiency in PTC Creo for CAD design.

Experience releasing designs in PLM systems such as Oracle PD Cloud, Windchill, or similar.

Familiarity with Model-Based Definition.

Design experience with sheet-metal and piping.
