Job summary

Global Recruiters of Fort Smith (GRN Fort Smith) seeks a seasoned engineering leader to steer multi-disciplinary HVAC initiatives. You will shape architectures, validate novel technologies, and guide modeling and testing efforts to ensure reliability and compliance.

You will mentor engineers, influence cross-functional technical direction, and contribute to IP strategy while aligning with 5–10 year business goals. Strong HVAC knowledge and data-driven problem solving are essential.

Qualifications

• Typically 8–12 years of experience in advanced engineering, systems engineering, product architecture, or related technical leadership roles.
• Recognized depth of expertise in HVAC-related domains (thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, acoustics, controls, power electronics, or system integration).
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex technical efforts where requirements are ambiguous and outcomes are not predefined.
• Extensive experience with advanced modeling, simulation, data analysis, and custom testing methodologies.
• Strong working knowledge of HVAC industry standards and regulatory frameworks (AHRI, DOE, ASHRAE, UL, CSA).
• Proven ability to influence technical direction across teams without formal people management authority.

Responsibilities

• Provide technical leadership for high-impact, multi-disciplinary advanced engineering initiatives spanning mechanical, electrical, controls, and system-level domains.
• Define and evaluate future product architectures, technology pathways, and system tradeoffs aligned with 5–10+ year horizons.
• Establish engineering approaches, modeling frameworks, and validation strategies for complex or novel technologies.
• Serve as the internal subject matter expert for advanced HVAC system behavior, performance limits, reliability risks, and compliance implications.
• Guide development and validation of advanced simulation models, digital representations, and custom test methodologies.
• Lead root-cause investigations and failure analyses with broad system implications, translating findings into design guidance and preventative strategies.
• Translate regulatory trends and emerging standards into technical direction, research priorities, and design guardrails.
• Mentor Senior and Advance Engineers through technical review, coaching, and standards of engineering rigor.
• Author and review white papers, technical position documents, technology roadmaps, and internal engineering guidelines.
• Identify, develop, and support strategic intellectual property opportunities aligned with long-term business goals.
