Senior Mechanical Engineer - Marietta, OH

Description

Join our engineering team, where you'll help drive innovation in the development of sophisticated scientific instruments and laboratory equipment. As Mechanical Engineer (ULT), you will design, develop, and sustain cascade refrigeration systems supporting Thermo Fisher’s cold storage and ultra-low temperature (ULT) product portfolio. In this hands-on role, you will collaborate with other engineers and technicians to deliver high-performance, energy-efficient, and compliant cold storage solutions. You will partner closely with NPD design leadership and cross-functional peers in Product Management, Controls Engineering, Quality, and Regulatory to define mechanical systems, maintain traceability, and ensure products meet customer, performance, and regulatory expectations throughout the product lifecycle.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Mechanical System Development
• Design and develop mechanical systems used in ULT freezers and cold storage platforms.
• Develop specifications for system-level, subsystem and component performance.
• Develop and execute test plans to validate the performance of newly developed mechanical systems by utilizing design for reliability tools and performance sensitivity analysis.
• Create modular, scalable, and reusable solutions across multiple product platforms.
• Simulation, Modeling & Innovation
• Analyze the structural behavior of the mechanical systems aided by Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tools for component selection and overall mechanical system design.
• Complete design trade studies using modeling and empirical data to optimize system performance and energy consumption.
• Participate in advanced development initiatives to mature new technologies as assigned.
• Product Development & Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Collaborate with refrigeration, electrical, and controls engineering teams through all phases of the toll-gate NPD process.
• Partner with manufacturing and operations teams to ensure Design for Assembly (DfA) and Design for Manufacturing (DfM).
• Support products manufactured across multiple global facilities.
• Contribute to component, sub-system, and system-level technology roadmaps.
• Requirements, Compliance & Traceability
• Complete verification activity to confirm traceability from customer and regulatory requirements.
• Ensure systems are designed for compliance to meet regulatory and certification requirements (e.g., UL, IEC, FDA, CE, CSA, Energy Star).

People and Culture

• Engage in a culture of safety, quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.
• Travel: Up to 10% domestic travel.
