Thermal and Fluid Systems Engineer

DESCRIPTION

Key Responsibilities:

• Investigate product, system, and/or technology problems related to thermal and fluid sciences, understand causal mechanisms, recommend appropriate actions, own problem resolution, and document results with guidance from experienced team members.
• Apply and support the improvement of processes such as Pre Program Planning (PPP), Product Preceding Technology (PPT), Value Package Introduction (VPI), or Value Package Change (VPC), Engineering Standard Work (ESW), Functional Excellence Practice (FEP), and tools related to thermal and fluid sciences.
• Obtain input and negotiate with immediate stakeholders, such as team members, technical managers, project leaders, other Thermal Sciences engineers, product and manufacturing engineers, and supplier partners.
• Make decisions in areas of day-to-day project details, such as conducting analysis, testing, and communication with stakeholders to support the successful progression of projects.
• Own problem resolution for moderately complex components, products, systems, subsystems, or services with increasing technical complexity and ambiguity as experience is gained.
• Provide independent execution of established work processes and systems while developing technology or product knowledge; engage in the improvement of systems and processes.
• Contribute effectively toward team goals, exhibit influence within a workgroup, and continue to develop proficiency in critical competency areas.

• College, university, or equivalent Bachelor's degree in Engineering or an appropriate STEM field is required.
• Post-graduate (Master's) degree relevant to this discipline area may be required for select roles.
