Lead technical execution of new product development programs, serving as a system‑level engineer responsible for integration, design maturity, and on‑time delivery. Lead teams to Architect, design, and integrate complex mechanical and electrical systems for generator and power generation products, including engines, alternators, enclosures, controls, and supporting subsystems as applicable. Translate customer, regulatory, and business requirements into system‑and component‑level functional and performance requirements. Design, test, and integrate complex components and assemblies; evaluate designs for effectiveness, cost (including cost/benefit analysis), reliability (risk analysis), safety, and compliance. Drive design reviews and technical decision‑making, ensuring system integration risks are identified early and mitigated through structured problem solving. Develop, execute, and evaluate fitness‑for‑use testing, product specifications, and process validation plans for complex generator systems and components. Utilize CAD and CAE tools (Creo) to develop system layouts, component designs, and detailed engineering drawings supporting integrated designs. Collaborate with manufacturing engineering, suppliers, and contract manufacturers to optimize generator designs for manufacturability, scalability, quality, and serviceability. Support program planning and execution by contributing to development schedules, cost estimates, design input tracking, and launch readiness activities. Lead root‑cause analysis and corrective actions for integration, performance, or quality issues identified during development, validation, or early production. Apply engineering judgment to balance technical performance, cost, risk, and schedule tradeoffs, making informed recommendations to program and functional leadership. Actively mentor and coach less experienced engineers, particularly in systems thinking, integration discipline, and design best practices. Use SAP and Change Request processes within the assigned functional area, supporting engineering data integrity, BOM management, and program execution processes. Contribute to the development and maintenance of engineering standards, system guidelines, and procedures. Perform other related duties as assigned.
