Mechanical Engineer

About the Role

Modine is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to develop safe, low-cost, and high-quality product designs, product design standards, and design component standards for new and existing product lines. This involves research, prototyping, and team interaction to solve thermal management challenges.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop technology to establish 'state of the art' in product performance, manufacturability, and customer value.
• Apply heat transfer, fluid dynamics, acoustics, and other mechanical engineering principles for the design, selection, prototyping, and testing of products, components, systems, or sub-systems.
• Conduct structural design analysis and provide recommendations.
• Research, size, select, and/or confirm electrical, thermal, and mechanical components, systems, or sub-systems.
• Develop rules for the use and application of components, systems, or sub-systems regarding spacing, clearance, heat transfer rates, etc.
• Assume a leadership role in facets of product design technology.
• Achieve cost reductions through alternative design practices, component and method selection, and product simplification.
• Propose opportunities and organize/lead cost reduction team initiatives.
• Collaborate with Materials and Manufacturing groups on component, supplier, and process alternatives.
• Lead technology development and product enhancement/development initiatives.
• Propose project scope and deliverables.
• Execute project plans and ensure integration with CDI Design Standards and Best Practices, and Engineering Team practices.
• Assume responsibility for the perpetuation and integrity of CDI Design Standards and Best Practices.
• Prepare Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) related to change proposals.
• Train others on the use and maintenance of the knowledge base.
• Conduct research to enhance the value of data and tools.
• Attend professional conferences and seminars for technological training.
• Interact with Customer Service, Sales, and CDI Sales Representatives to understand market trends, end-user requirements, and product strengths/weaknesses.
• Lead formal corrective actions on failures, seeking system changes to address root causes.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• 3D CAD solid modeling experience.
• Demonstrated working knowledge of CAD 3D model development and model manipulation/animation is beneficial.
• Demonstrated computational skills involving higher-level math (algebra, trigonometry) and statistical methods (regression analysis, quality charts).
• Demonstrated working knowledge of HVAC equipment operation and design practices.
• Ability to collect and analyze information, isolate variables, and make effective, evidence-based decisions.
• Ability to create spreadsheets and documents meeting professional standards.

Qualifications

• BS degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent experience and demonstrated performance.
• HVAC industry training.
• College-level training in Materials Properties, Thermodynamics, Strength of Materials, Calculus and Differential Equations, and Statistical Analysis.
• Experience with HVAC equipment design and function.
• Experience in an equipment manufacturing or laboratory setting.
• Ability to communicate messages and technical information verbally and in writing.
• Skill in effectively instructing or persuading.
• Attention to detail in documentation, design, and data accuracy.
• High work commitment and standards of excellence.
• Desire to achieve team results and continuous improvement.
• Desire to learn and grow professionally.

Physical Requirements: Primarily a desk position involving sitting, standing, walking, bending, and reaching.
