EngineeringFull-time
About the role
EVRCOOL focuses on advanced cooling technologies that help customers improve performance and efficiency across a range of industries. We are a fast-growing startup innovating the best process cooling equipment in the industry, and we're looking for a Mechanical Engineer to join our growing team.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop mechanical components, assemblies, and systems using 3D CAD (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo, NX).
- Create and/or review creation of detailed 2D drawings of these designs, ensuring accurate BOMs, dimensional tolerances, and suitability for manufacturability.
- Perform engineering calculations, DFMEA, FEA and simulations to validate designs and ensure safety, reliability, and performance.
- Prototype, test, and iterate hardware; create and execute test plans; analyze test data and implement design changes.
- Work with suppliers and manufacturing to support production ramp-up, product & process development, and cost reduction.
- Create / process Engineering Change Requests (ECR’s) and Orders (ECO’s).
- Troubleshoot field and production issues; provide root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
- Ensure product designs meet applicable regulatory, safety, and quality standards.
- Support project planning, schedule tracking, design reviews, and documentation.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to design standards development and other continuous improvement initiatives.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (or equivalent work experience)
- 5+ years experience designing, launching and supporting products in a manufacturing setting, including supporting / interfacing with production personnel and systems (e.g. Material Resource Planning, ISO or similar quality systems, etc.)
- Proficient with SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD
- Proficient with SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD
- Working knowledge of PLM/PDM systems is strongly preferred (e.g. 3DExperience, SW PDM, Windchill, Teamcenter).
- Hands-on prototyping and/or test experience
- Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills
- Knowledge of materials and relevant manufacturing processes (sheet metal, machining, injection molding)
- Familiarity with refrigeration cycle thermodynamics
- General understanding of industrial electrical and electronics systems and components (e.g. industrial power supply & device protection, relays, motor drives, safety, wire sizing, industrial communications, controllers, etc.)
- Background in Lean Product Development principles & tools
- Basic budgeting and cost containment skills
- Basic understanding of UL certification process
- Basic understanding of ISO 9000 (or similar quality system) design requirements
- Resilience working in a fast-paced, evolving startup environment with shifting priorities
