Responsibilities

Design and develop gas burners for ovens and ranges.
Optimize burner geometry, port design, fuel‑air mixing, and flame distribution.
Develop bake, broil and convection‑burner, ignition, and flame‑sensing systems.
Size injectors, orifices, valves, regulators, manifolds, tubing, and gas‑system components.
Develop systems for natural gas, propane, and applicable regional fuel types.
Evaluate the effects of gas pressure, composition, altitude, temperature, humidity, and component tolerances.
Optimize interactions between burners, oven cavities, airflow, insulation, venting, racks, and convection systems.
Improve oven temperature uniformity, cooking performance, preheat time, recovery, and energy efficiency.
Define ignition sequences, burner cycling, fault detection, retry logic, lockout, and safe shutdown requirements.
Plan and execute combustion, thermal, performance, reliability, and safety testing.
Measure gas input, pressure, airflow, emissions, ignition time, flame stability, temperatures, and combustion noise.
Use gas analyzers, thermocouples, flowmeters, pressure sensors, data‑acquisition systems, infrared cameras, and high‑speed imaging.
Support compliance with CSA/ANSI Z21.1, EN 30, the EU Gas Appliances Regulation, and other applicable standards.
Apply thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, combustion theory, and engineering calculations.
Use CFD and thermal simulation to analyze fuel‑air mixing, airflow, combustion products, heat transfer, and component temperatures.
Correlate simulation results with laboratory testing and improve model accuracy.
Lead design reviews, risk assessments, DFMEAs, tolerance studies, and Design of Experiments.
Investigate combustion, ignition, temperature, noise, durability, and field‑quality concerns.
Lead root‑cause analysis and implement validated corrective and preventive actions.
Collaborate with suppliers, manufacturing, quality, controls, certification, purchasing, and global engineering teams.
Develop technical standards, design guidelines, reusable architectures, training materials, and future gas‑technology roadmaps.
All other duties as assigned.
