Design Engineer III

Work Model: Work Model: You'll work in a hybrid model, onsite at your designated Regal Rexnord location at least 3 days per week (Monday-Thursday), with flexibility to work remotely up to 2 days, including Friday. ____________________ Position Summary: Design Engineer III (Mechanical) reports to the Power Efficiency Solutions Senior Manager of Mechanical Engineering and Shared Lab Services. This person will lead Mechanical Design efforts for major New Product Development (NPD) projects, support sustainability engineering and provide direct lab support to include testing responsibilities - with focus on sound and vibration testing. In addition to these major areas of focus, where the engineer will own designs and testing responsibilities there will be opportunities to drive and support both Value Engineering and Value Analysis (VAVE) and Material Cost Out (MCO) opportunities. Through the design cycle and sustainability efforts, this person will leverage several software packages including Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Sound Acquisition Software packages. Key Responsibilities: - Complete electric motor and motor control housing mechanical designs, as well as components and accessories (castings, fabrications, shafts, end frames, mainframes, etc.) meeting market requirements and cost targets for New Product Development (NPD) & existing products. - Analyzes, model and test mechanical systems to minimize noise and vibrations while optimizing acoustic performance - Identify and execute cost saving opportunities of existing products and designs. - Managing engineering work and priorities of the project team to align with milestones and stretch goals of project schedule (Stage Gate Process) - Drawing review, approval, and release coordination - Writes specifications (design specifications, drafting instructions, product specifications) - Select and integrate components into design, interaction with suppliers/vendors - Provide technical support to other departments - Create test plans, monitor tests, work with lab personnel, complete data analysis and summarize results - Familiar with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), Lean processes and material/component selection. - Continuous improvement and demonstrated mastery in diverse settings are valuable in the role. - Product Part Approval Process (PPAP), supplier development and qualification experiences are desirable. - Manage multiple projects at the same time and stay on track for required dates. - Product knowledge capture, curator and dissemination within a cross functional environment. - Always promote a safe working environment by following established and required safety policies and practices. - Unquestionable business and personal integrity. Required Skills and Qualifications: The ideal candidate will have the capability to set up and run mechanical and/or electrical performance, application and reliability tests required to validate new designs and optimize those that already exist. The individual performing this role must me very safety conscious and capable of working in a laboratory environment. Good listening, communication and technical comprehension skills are required. Bachelor's degree with a minimum of 7-10 years of experience in mechanical design and development of industrial products or components, preferably with rotating machinery Strong User CAD software (SolidWorks) and Microsoft Office applications (Teams, Word, Excel, SharePoint, Projects) Depth and Experience in the area of sound and vibration or acoustic optimization Experience in root cause analysis using formal problem solving methods
