You will manage a multidisciplinary design team responsible for refrigeration systems, mechanical design, and control systems integration, guiding products from concept through commercialization.

In this highly visible leadership role, you will ensure products meet customer needs, regulatory requirements, and business objectives, while advancing innovation through structured Technology Readiness Level (TRL) development and disciplined New Product Development (NPD) execution. Your work will directly influence product quality, compliance readiness, speed to market, and long-term platform sustainability.

Own product design execution from concept through design transfer, ensuring alignment with customer requirements, regulatory expectations, and manufacturing readiness.
Provide hands-on technical leadership in refrigeration systems, mechanical design, and controls integration for complex electromechanical products.
Drive TRL maturation of innovative technologies and solutions prior to NPD introduction.

Design Control & Regulatory Compliance

Ensure adherence to ISO 13485 design control processes, including design planning, risk management, verification, validation, and design transfer.
Oversee creation and maintenance of Design History Files (DHF), design specifications, drawings, and technical documentation throughout the product lifecycle.
Lead and facilitate design reviews, DFMEA, risk assessments, and product safety evaluations.
Support product approval strategies, including test methods, acceptance criteria, and compliance to applicable standards (e.g., UL, IEC, FDA, Energy Star).

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner closely with Product Management, Quality, Regulatory, Operations, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, and PMO throughout the NPD process.
Support product road-mapping activities by translating customer and market needs into actionable technical strategies.
Collaborate with global manufacturing sites to ensure robust design transfer and production scalability.

Operational Excellence & Continuous Improvement

Establish and sustain standard work, design best practices, and common engineering processes.
Apply Lean, PPI, VAVE, simulation, and rapid prototyping tools to accelerate development and improve value.
Foster a strong safety culture and continuous improvement mindset across the team.

People Leadership

Recruit, develop, and mentor engineers, building technical depth and leadership capability within the team.
Set clear performance expectations and support career development through coaching and feedback.
Balance strategic planning with hands-on technical engagement to deliver results.
Travel: Up to 10% domestic with limited international travel.

REQUIREMENTS:

Master’s degree preferred

Experience

10+ years of product development experience with complex electromechanical systems, preferably refrigeration or thermal systems
3+ years of people management or senior technical leadership experience
