The New Product Development Team is integral to the success of defining and bringing innovative products to the market. We are seeking a motivated and technically driven engineer to collaborate on the definition, design, integration, and validation of embedded and electromechanical systems for new product lines and features. Areas of skill and expertise commonly leveraged include embedded system architecture, controls development, electromechanical system design, wire harnessing best practices, system integration, and collaborative problem-solving with cross functional groups.
As a Design Engineer, you will apply advanced engineering, system design, and product development practices to deliver best-in-class luxury appliances. This role operates at the system level, shaping product intent into clear requirements, defining robust architectures, and supporting integration across hardware, software, and electromechanical subsystems from concept through production.
Continual growth and development are important aspects of this position. If you are motivated by solving complex problems, influencing product definition, and owning part designs through production, this role offers the opportunity to make a significant impact on the future of kitchen appliances.
Responsibilities:
• Participate in early-phase product and system definition by collaborating with product management, industrial design, user experience, compliance, reliability, manufacturing, quality, and service stakeholders to elicit, analyze, and refine customer, business, and regulatory needs into clear system-level requirements and constraints.
• Contribute to defining the system-level architecture and design for embedded control systems eventually defining and owning system, subsystem, and interface requirements with traceability through implementation, verification, and validation.
• Work with internal and external teams to design, prototype, and integrate embedded software, electronics, electromechanical, and thermal subsystems into cohesive, production-ready, mass-manufacturable systems.
• Evaluate system designs through modeling, simulation, benchmarking, laboratory testing, and data analysis; define verification strategies and develop test procedures to validate performance, safety, and reliability requirements.
• Partner with manufacturing, suppliers, and regulatory teams to ensure system performance, safety, reliability, and cost targets are achieved.
• Present system architectures and design solutions for review by engineering peers, product teams, and leadership.
• Provide technical guidance and expertise through root cause analysis discussions, and in the creation, verification and validation of production specifications and requirements
• Manage work to meet project milestones and cross-functional development timelines.
Required Qualifications:
• Bachelor's or better in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, or related field
• 1-3 years: Relevant engineering experience
• 1+ years: Relevant software, hardware, and/or controls design experience
• Proficiency in Solidworks or related CAD software.
• Applied creativity, proactive approach, and eagerness to overcome development efforts and provide effective/successful design solutions for new products.
• Strong technical, written, oral, and team communication skills.
• Code capable in C, C++, Python, or similar
Preferred Qualifications:
• Team and individual experience in approaching new, nuanced, large and/or long-term projects/problems/tasks requiring coordinated planning for success
• Wire harnessing and system integration.
• Proficiency in Solidworks Electrical schematic creation and 3D routing.
• Electromechanical subsystem design.
• Understanding/knowledge of consumer electronic design and production manufacturing processes
• Rapid prototyping
• Proof-of-concept and/or functional/feasible/testable implementation-of-concept.
• Quick-turn technologies and tools such as 3D Printing and/or other means of prototyping physical parts/assemblies.
• Circuit/PCB design/analysis.
• Embedded programming and/or "input/output" software development.
• Data capture and analysis
