Development Engineer
Job description
Join a high‑impact engineering team building the next generation of fluid control solutions for commercial building systems. As a Senior Development Engineer, you’ll lead the mechanical design and end‑to‑end development of precision control valves used in modern HVAC and energy‑efficient infrastructure. You’ll own the technical direction, drive innovation, and collaborate across functions to turn ideas into reliable, manufacturable, industry‑leading products.
If you love solving complex mechanical challenges, working hands‑on with prototypes, and guiding products from concept through lifecycle, this role is built for you.
What You’ll Do
- Lead development and qualification efforts for new and existing valve and fluid‑control products.
- Design mechanical components using advanced 3D CAD tools, create drawings for manufacturing, select materials, and apply GD&T principles.
- Collaborate closely with suppliers to refine manufacturing methods, inspection practices, test procedures, and production tooling.
- Plan and execute qualification testing, including schedules, documentation, data analysis, and reporting.
- Identify and mitigate technical risks throughout the product development cycle.
- Continuously improve processes, test methods, development tools, and documentation standards to enhance productivity and product quality.
- Conduct design reviews and drive team‑wide technical alignment.
- Communicate effectively with engineering peers, cross‑functional teams, and external partners.
Who You Are
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or similar).
- 7+ years of mechanical design experience.
- Strong proficiency in 3D CAD modeling and detailed drawing creation.
- Background in manufacturing technologies and production‑ready design.
- Familiarity with rapid prototyping and hands‑on experimental testing.
- Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
- Experienced in structured product development environments.
- Able to manage priorities across multiple projects.
- Self‑driven, resourceful, and highly motivated.
- Willing to travel occasionally as needed.
- Demonstrated experience in technical project leadership.
Bonus Points For
- Experience with SAP, PLM systems, or engineering data management tools.
- Proficiency with NX CAD or similar advanced modeling platforms.
- FEA or CFD expertise.
- Familiarity with Jira, Confluence, or agile development workflows.
- Background in HVAC systems, actuators, or fluid mechanics.
- Multilingual skills (German, Italian, Chinese, etc.).
