Résumé du poste

Conair in Stamford, CT is seeking a Design Engineer for Product Development to shape the next generation of culinary appliances, applying strong engineering fundamentals, CAD proficiency, and hands-on prototyping.

You will create and refine mechanical and electromechanical designs for production, collaborate with cross-functional teams, mentor junior engineers, and ensure designs meet safety and performance standards while optimizing for cost and manufacturability.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, or related field; advanced degree or relevant training is a plus.
• 5+ years designing heated or motorized culinary equipment, appliances, electromechanical products, or durable goods.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks or Creo) and PDM/PLM systems with strong drawing and GD&T skills.
• Experience designing mechanical or electromechanical systems involving heating, motors, controls, sensors, sheet metal, plastics, castings, or fabricated components.
• Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes and DFM/DFA, including injection molding, die casting, stamping, and machining.
• Experience taking designs from concept through prototyping, validation, tooling, and production release.
• Experience designing for durability, sanitation, continuous-duty operation, and serviceability.
• Experience with engineering analysis tools such as FEA, tolerance analysis, or thermal simulation.
• Experience collaborating with industrial designers, global suppliers, contract manufacturers, and cross-functional teams.
• Familiarity with product safety and sanitation standards such as UL, NSF, and CSA.
• Ability to solve complex design problems, communicate technical decisions, and balance performance, quality, cost, and schedule.

Responsabilités

• Create mechanical and electromechanical designs for culinary products from concept through production release, balancing performance, quality, cost, and manufacturability.
• Develop detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies, 2D drawings, and BOMs, applying GD&T and tolerance stack‑up analysis.
• Translate customer, industrial design, and business requirements into engineering specifications and design solutions.
• Design parts for injection molding, die casting, sheet metal, machining, and other applicable manufacturing processes.
• Build, test, and refine prototypes, using engineering analysis such as FEA, thermal, and fluid analysis to make sound design tradeoffs.
• Lead and participate in design reviews, presenting design concepts, analysis results, risks, and recommendations.
• Collaborate with Industrial Design, Project Engineering, Global Engineering, suppliers, and manufacturers to refine designs for tooling and production.
• Mentor junior engineers and designers, promoting strong CAD practices, design standards, and engineering fundamentals.
• Partner with Validation and Certification teams to define design verification tests and ensure designs meet performance, safety, and compliance requirements.
• Analyze test results, identify root causes of design issues, and implement design improvements.
• Support tooling reviews, DFM feedback, and pilot builds, resolving design‑related production issues and managing engineering change documentation.
• Apply DFM/DFA principles to optimize designs for quality, cost, manufacturability, serviceability, and reliability.
• Explore emerging technologies, materials, mechanisms, and design tools, and incorporate customer, field, and service feedback into product improvements.
• Share lessons learned and contribute to CAD standards, design guidelines, and engineering best practices.
