Position Overview As part of the Equipment Design Engineering (EDE) team, you will lead and execute equipment design deliverables while coordinating schedule, scope, and cost. This role blends hands‑on design engineering with project management and cost analysis, leveraging PTC Creo, Windchill PLM, and SAP/ERP to create accurate models/drawings, manage product data, and support execution from concept through release. You will work cross‑functionally with Design Engineering (DE), Manufacturing, Quality, Procurement, and Project teams to deliver high‑quality packages with clear timelines, risk visibility, and cost awareness.
Key Responsibilities Project Management & Delivery Ownership
Plan and manage multiple concurrent engineering deliverables, balancing competing priorities and deadlines.
Coordinate project scope, milestones, constraints, and documentation using standard project templates and progress tracking practices.
Provide timeline/effort inputs that support job costing, resourcing, and delivery commitments.
Drive alignment and communication across stakeholders; document decisions, risks, assumptions, issues, and action items. (RAID‑style discipline supported by internal references.)
Cost Analysis & Value Engineering
Perform
cost analysis
on equipment designs and subassemblies (make vs. buy, in‑house vs. vendor, labor/material impacts) and communicate recommendations.
Build and maintain cost tracking inputs (quotes, BOM deltas, savings opportunities, CapEx/Payback where applicable).
Partner with Procurement and Manufacturing Engineering to validate assumptions and improve cost accuracy and sourcing decisions.
Equipment Design Engineering (Hands‑on Technical Execution)
Develop and release 3D models, 2D drawings, and documentation packages from concepts, specs, and project inputs.
Design with manufacturing, safety, and serviceability in mind; ensure alignment to internal review/release requirements and standards.
Support production and shop‑floor problem solving by responding to build issues and updating drawings/BOMs as required.
Creo + Windchill PLM Data Management
Use
Creo
for modeling and detailing; apply standardized drafting practices and design intent.
Use
Windchill PLM
to manage product structures, revisions, and controlled releases; maintain clean workspaces and configuration discipline.
Contribute to training/standard work and improve documentation clarity for PLM/CAD workflows (where needed).
SAP/ERP Integration
Work within
SAP/ERP
(or equivalent) to support material/master data alignment, routings touchpoints, and BOM/part number accuracy across systems.
Coordinate with Materials/Procurement to ensure the released engineering definition translates cleanly into purchasing and manufacturing execution flows.
Cross‑Functional Design Handoff & Process Discipline
Lead structured handoffs between DE and EDE by identifying missing inputs early and tracking owners/dates using standardized checklists.
Ensure design packages progress through peer/manager/department reviews and are resubmitted with discrepancies closed before release.
How you will do it
Utilize PTC Creo to create and release accurate 3D models, drawings, and documentation packages in compliance with internal design standards and change control processes.
Perform engineering analyses, trade studies, and risk reviews to justify design decisions and ensure technical and functional requirements are met.
Partner with manufacturing engineering, quality, and operations to improve manufacturability, reduce variation, and support production ramp priorities through practical Design for Manufacturing (DFM).
Communicate technical decisions clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders, including internal teams and external suppliers as required.
Design and draft mechanical parts, sub‑assemblies, general assemblies, plumbing layouts, and sheet‑metal assemblies as required.
Collaborate with engineering and production teams to optimize product designs for cost, quality, and schedule.
Develop and implement engineering changes and resolve design issues that arise during the product lifecycle.
Conduct independent technical investigations and troubleshooting with engineering, manufacturing, and vendors.
Build/maintain a weekly project progress snapshot and keep stakeholders aligned on scope, constraints, and next actions.
Maintain clear project records and file locations for drawings, BOMs, cost analysis, meeting minutes, and reference data.
Use a structured bid/submittal approach for conceptual deliverables when applicable (e.g., early‑phase layouts, simplified models, GA drawings).
What we are looking for
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a Technical/Associate Degree or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering with equivalent experience.
Senior‑level product design experience delivering complex equipm
