Role OverviewAs Electrical Engineer II - Product Development Chiller, you will support the electrical design and development of chiller products across the full product lifecycle. You will partner with mechanical, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and service teams to translate requirements into practical electrical solutions that support product performance, compliance, and production readiness.
Key ResponsibilitiesDevelop and support electrical design solutions for chiller product development activities.
Prepare and review electrical drawings, wiring diagrams, BOMs, and technical documentation.
Contribute to concept development, prototype builds, testing, validation, and production release.
Work with cross-functional teams to align electrical design decisions with manufacturability, quality, cost, and serviceability goals.
Support engineering changes, design reviews, and issue resolution for new and existing products.
Evaluate design alternatives, components, and materials that improve product reliability and competitiveness.
Support compliance-related work by helping ensure designs align with applicable codes, standards, and internal engineering requirements.
Provide technical input to manufacturing and field teams when electrical issues require investigation or corrective action.
Maintain accurate engineering records and contribute to disciplined product development execution.
You will own your deliverables with accountability, safety, and integrity, making design choices that are practical, traceable, and production-ready.
You will stay close to the work by engaging early with mechanical, manufacturing, and service teams so issues are identified and removed before they affect the customer.
You will use structured product development practices such as design reviews, DFMEA, DVP&R, and disciplined change control to keep programs on track.
You will improve every day through clear feedback, root-cause problem solving, and continuous improvement in design and testing activities.
You will win as one team by sharing knowledge, building trust across functions, and valuing diverse technical perspectives.
You will keep electrical documentation current and precise, including revisions, technical notes, and engineering deliverables.
You will balance engineering depth with practical execution so designs can move smoothly from concept to production.
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Power Engineering, or a related discipline.
