About the role

Ingersoll Rand is seeking a highly motivated, early-career NPD Engineer to join an interactive and dynamic team where safety, quality, creativity, and continuous improvement are paramount. This role is designed for a recent graduate or engineer with limited industry experience who is eager to learn centrifugal compressor design fundamentals. Working under the guidance and mentorship of senior engineers, the NPD Engineer will support concept development, detailed mechanical design, and design verification while building the technical foundation needed to grow into an independent contributor. Assignments are typically well-defined in scope and reviewed regularly to support learning and skill development.

Imagine a company with technology leadership of over 160 years, yet it operates with the energy of a startup. Ingersoll Rand has dedicated itself to Making Life Better for its employees, customers, shareholders, and planet. We produce innovative and mission-critical flow creation and life science technologies – from compressors to precision handling of liquids, gasses, and powers – to increase industrial productivity, efficiency, and sustainability. Supported by over 80+ brands, our products are used in various end-markets including life sciences, food and beverage, clean energy, industrial manufacturing, infrastructure, and more. Across the globe, we’re driving growth with an entrepreneurial spirit and ownership mindset.

Responsibilities

• Design support: Assist in developing and releasing mechanical designs for centrifugal compressor components under the direction of senior engineers, including 3D models, drawings, and bills of material.
• Team collaboration: Participate in cross-functional discussions with Product Management, Manufacturing, Quality, Sourcing, and Service teams to understand how product requirements translate into design solutions.
• Product validation: Build centrifugal compressor prototypes to be used for pre-production testing and verification, implementing any lessons learned during the build into the design.
• Communication: Communicate progress, questions, and roadblocks clearly and proactively to mentors and the team; actively seek feedback to accelerate learning.
• Travel: Ability to travel, including internationally, up to 5%.

Qualifications

• BS in Mechanical Engineering
• 1+ years of related design or product development experience with a solid undergraduate foundation in mechanical design, machine design, mechanics of materials, manufacturing processes, and/or engineering fundamentals.
• Preferences: Exposure to turbomachinery, rotating equipment, or pressure-containing equipment through coursework or internships is a plus.
• Familiarity with CAD/PLM tools (NX and Teamcenter), finite element analysis, or programming is a plus but not required.
• Demonstrated eagerness to learn, strong work ethic, and ability to work in a team environment.

Skills

• Working knowledge of computer systems and basic Microsoft Office.
• Strong command of the English language with the ability to communicate clearly in writing and speech with peers, mentors, and leadership.
