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
