OverviewWe are looking for an experienced, action-oriented, hands-on Lead Engineer who will be responsible for Product Lifecycle support.

The activities are oriented to improve product quality, launch new plastic injection molds and reduce product cost.

The candidate will also work on solving performance problems of Rain Bird products, leading investigations that prevent Rain Bird from delivering products to customers without the required Rain Bird quality.

The candidate is expected to work with autonomy in solving complex technical problems, mentor and coach junior engineers, working within multidisciplinary teams and support Product Engineering group priorities.

A bonus applies to eligible candidates who are required to relocate for this position.

Responsibilities

• Identify root causes of product quality issues and develop and implement systemic solutions to eliminate future recurrences.
• Develop products and process improvements to address these causes.
• Support manufacturing plants on implementation of quality, manufacturability and productivity improvements.
• Lead quality improvement projects from initial conception/justification through validation and implementation.
• Coordinate and implement new product development, brainstorming, prototyping and introduction of new concepts from Design-stage to production readiness.
• Responsible for maintaining product lifecycle quality and design integrity.

QUALIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS:

• BS Degree in an Engineering discipline (Mechanical, Mechatronics or Electrical preferred).
• 9+ years of design, project engineering, or product engineering with increasing levels of responsibility.

• Working knowledge and experience with:
  • Manufacturing processes used in RB (ultrasonic welding, injection molding, fasteners, etc.)
  • Plastic and elastomeric materials.
  • Mechanical structures.
  • Fluid dynamics/mechanics.
• Experience and desire to collaborate with other functional areas to achieve objectives.
• Proven track record of leading complex projects to the finish line.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Knowledge of Design for Manufacturing, SPC, FMEA, DOE and Six Sigma techniques.
• Understanding and application of root cause analysis, optimization, and reliability studies.
• Knowledge of FEA and CFD – performing finite element analysis.
• Experience with product testing techniques such as environmental stress or HALT.
• Bilingual – English, Spanish

DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Experience as Engineering Manager, Engineering Supervisor or equivalent.
• Advanced engineering degree.
• Experience in managing complex programs with remote team members.
