Senior Design Engineer

Senior Design Engineer
At Chromalox, part of Spirax Group, we buildadvanced thermal technologies for the world's most challenging industrialheating applications. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we do itbetter and have been doing it longer than anyone else.
Chromaloxstarted with an innovative solution 100 years ago when a self-taught engineerinvented the first metal-sheathed resistance heating element. It was this then-advancedthermal technology that launched an entire industry.
Thatpioneering, innovative spirit continues today. Built on opportunity andinnovation, Chromalox has grown to serve more global markets and industries. Weexcel in industries that have high expectations. We are acknowledged as expertsat delivering solutions that exceed specifications, limit risk, and reduceoperating costs.
Join us aswe continue to provide solutions to our customers and the world!
The Role:
Reporting to the Manager of Design Engineering at our Ogden, Utah plant, the Senior Design Engineer will help design, develop, and improve our product and equipment system designs. Our SeniorDesign Engineer also supports manufacturing our products, ensuring they are marketable and up to performance specifications.
Additionally, the Senior Design Engineer will perform product design while preparing electrical and mechanical CAD drawings and Bills of Material for industrial heating systems to meet industry and customer standards.
Responsibilities:

• Conducts engineering studies on design for products, associated and subsystems components, and structures.
• Analyzes engineering proposals, process requirements, and related technical data pertaining to design.
• Applies engineering principles to design, modify, or develop facilities, testing, machines, equipment, or processes.
• Conducts analytical studies on engineering proposals to develop design for products, equipment, machines, associated and subsystems components, and structures.
  Creates and releases Engineering Drawings, Bills of Material (BOM's), ASME
• calculations and Routings.
• Analyzes data to determine feasibility of product proposal; analyzes product or equipment specifications and performance requirements to determine designs that can be produced by existing manufacturing or processing facilities and methods.
• Develops custom procedures as needed.
• May determine feasibility of designing new plant equipment or modifying existing facilities considering costs, available space, time limitations, company planning, and other technical and economic factors.
• Confers with research personnel to clarify or resolve problems and develops design, design modifications as required.
• Prepares or directs preparations of product or system layout and detailed drawings and schematics; coordinates manufacturing or building of prototype product or system.
• Plans and develops experimental test programs; prevents or eliminates defects in new or existing products, evaluates results.
• Analyzes test data and reports to determine if design meets functional and performance specifications.
• Studies engineering and technical publications to keep abreast of technological changes and developments in industry.
• Completes work 'on-time' and within budget.
• Ensures product fit, form and function meet customer requirements.

Requirements:

• A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering is preferred.
• At least 5+ years of experience with electrical/control design engineering, including PLC programming, is required.
• Working knowledge of PC software applications; AutoCAD experience required, Solid Modeling and 3D Design preferred.
• Proven working experience presenting data findings to the broader organization (employees, managers, and industry peers) while communicating the next best steps for the business.
• Working experience with system-specific pressure vessel, piping, pump, fluid transfer, and heat transfer design experience.
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes such as heavy equipment manufacturing, welding technology, control panel, materials technology, manufacturing methods technology.
• Ability to work with mathematical concepts and apply common sense understanding to carry out instructions furnished in written, oral, or diagram form.
