The New Product Development Team is integral to the success of defining and bringing innovative products to market. We are seeking an experienced and technically driven engineer to drive the design, validation and implementation of embedded controls and electromechanical systems for new products and features. Areas of skill and expertise commonly leveraged include embedded controls development, electromechanical system design, wire harness design and integration, and collaborative problem-solving across cross-functional product development teams. As a Design Engineer II with our Embedded Controls team, you will apply engineering, design, and product development practices to deliver innovative, reliable, and best-in-class luxury appliances.
Continual growth and development are important aspects of this position. If you are motivated by solving complex problems, influencing product definition, and owning technical solutions and designs from concept through production launch, this role offers the opportunity to make a significant impact on the future of kitchen appliances.
Primary Responsibilities- Work with cross-functional teams to design, prototype and implement in-product embedded controls, sensors, wire harnesses, and electromechanical systems for new products being released to the market.
- Collaborate in the development of controls architecture, product requirements and technical specifications for new products and features.
- Evaluate and refine designs through modeling, simulation, benchmarking, laboratory testing, and data analysis.
- Partner with manufacturing, quality, supply chain and regulatory teams to ensure system performance, safety, reliability and cost targets are achieved.
- Present technical concepts, design solutions, and test results for review by engineering peers, product teams, and management.
- Troubleshoot technical issues and apply structured problem-solving methods to identify and implement effective solutions.
- Plan, prioritize, and manage workload to meet project milestones and cross-functional development timelines.
Required Qualifications:- Bachelor's or better in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or related field.
- 3-6 years: Relevant engineering experience
