Overview
Our client is seeking a hands-on, innovative engineer who can drive product design and influence future strategy. While the immediate focus is on developing HVAC components for residential applications, this role has the potential to expand into broader product strategy and next-generation innovations. The ideal candidate is creative, ambitious, and ready to step up into a leadership path. Backed by a family office, you’ll take on meaningful work in a fast-paced environment where innovation, collaboration, and growth are at the forefront.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead product innovation and development to keep the company competitive in the HVAC industry.
- Evaluate new materials and manufacturing methods to improve performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
- Apply expertise in HVAC ductwork, airflow, and insulation design.
- Use CAD/3D modeling and basic simulation tools to support product design and development.
- Apply practical knowledge of sheet metal fabrication and assembly.
- Design tooling, fixtures, and molds to enable scalable production.
- Integrate lean manufacturing and automation practices to streamline operations.
- Support intellectual property strategy by exploring design alternatives and innovative concepts.
- Document processes for compliance, reproducibility, and quality assurance.
- Conduct performance testing (airflow, leakage, thermal, fire) to ensure compliance with industry standards.
- Collaborate with operations and sales teams to align engineering solutions with market needs and customer growth.
- Drive continuous improvement across the product lifecycle based on testing and customer feedback.
What You’ll Need:
- 5+ years of engineering experience in HVAC, building systems, or related industries.
