Johnson Controls
Senior Product Engineer
European Air-Cooled Chiller Engineering | Dublin, Ireland
What you will do
Johnson Controls has an exciting Senior Product Engineer opportunity based at our Dublin, Ireland location, supporting our new European air-cooled chiller engineering organization. If you enjoy mechanical design, testing, data analysis, and project management, this could be the right position for you.
In this senior role you will own the mechanical design and performance of air-cooled chiller components and systems engineered for the European market, working under minimal supervision to drive design solutions into the product. You will support the manufacturing and sustaining of the product – including initiating and executing design changes – mentor less-experienced engineers, and take a leading role in new and exciting product development programs.
How you will do it
- Maintains a deep understanding of the theories, concepts, technical principles, and processes related to the fluid, thermal, refrigeration, and other mechanical aspects of air-cooled chillers
- Works under minimal supervision, independently determining the approach to mechanical design solutions and conceptualizing and implementing design ideas into the product
- Defines, plans, and promotes product engineering project work; owns the mechanical design of one or more features or products from concept through release
- Applies European mechanical and safety codes and directives, including CE marking, the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), and the Machinery Directive, and harmonized standards such as EN 378 (refrigerating systems safety) and EN 14511 (chiller performance rating)
- Works closely with the design and manufacturing teams to generate layout concepts and system configurations that balance cost, performance, and reliability
- Coordinates and helps execute test programs to validate the performance and reliability of mechanical systems and components; analyzes, designs, modifies, and troubleshoots mechanical sub-components and sub-systems based on test data
- Defines specifications for features and products, and generates and reviews technical documentation for use within the product team
- Guides and mentors less-experienced engineers, and represents the product team within Engineering – able to speak for the team technically, with excellent written and verbal communication
- Contributes to the on-time completion of programs and regularly reports on the status of projects
- Continuously increases expertise across chiller design, theory, construction, operation, and applications; participates in and leads process improvement
- Adheres to the Company’s Code of Conduct and Business Ethics standards
