About the role

Ensure the effective transfer of engineering information to production and provide direct shop-floor support during the industrialization, implementation, and continuous improvement of industrial chillers. This position serves as the technical liaison between Product Engineering, Design Engineering, Manufacturing, and Production, ensuring technical accuracy, manufacturability, and the controlled execution of engineering changes.

Key Responsibilities

As a Sr NPI Engineer, you'll be responsible for:

Provide engineering support for chiller manufacturing and continuous improvement activities throughout the product lifecycle.
Validate that engineering and design information is accurately reflected in BOMs, drawings, specifications, 3D models, and technical documentation prior to implementation in production.
Interpret and review electrical and control schematics to support equipment assembly and validation; for Air-Cooled assignments, this may include chillers with capacities up to 850 tons of refrigeration.
Lead manufacturability reviews, identify site-specific requirements, and translate them into executable actions.
Coordinate MCS activities, prototype builds, pilot runs, SOP, and Safe Launch processes with cross-functional teams.
Maintain ownership of PFEP, production readiness, project risks, stage gates, action plans, and exit criteria.
Provide direct technical support during assembly, testing, product release, and ramp-up activities; document production-line findings, coordinate improvement proposals with Design Engineering, and ensure effective implementation of permanent corrective actions.
Resolve product and BOM-related issues using structured problem-solving methodologies such as A3, 8D, 5 Whys, or equivalent approaches.
Track and coordinate activities of the extended plant team, typically consisting of 10 to 20 participants depending on project scope, ensuring adherence to timelines, quality standards, and traceability requirements.
Coordinate decision-making with Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, Manufacturing Engineering, Product Engineering, and Design Engineering teams, including global stakeholders.
Ensure that engineering-released changes are assessed for manufacturing impact and implemented through a controlled change management process.
Maintain traceability of decisions, risks, engineering changes, lessons learned, and critical open product issues.
Transfer product ownership to the manufacturing site by ensuring complete documentation, training, and product stability criteria are in place.

Requirements

We are looking for people who are responsible. If this is you, get in touch.

As a minimum you must have:

Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related discipline.
As a guideline, 5+ years of experience in Product Engineering, New Product Introduction (NPI), industrialization, or manufacturing project management.
Advanced English proficiency, with the ability to review technical documentation and coordinate effectively with global teams.
Experience interpreting and managing BOMs, engineering drawings, GD&T, specifications, and 3D CAD models.
Proven experience leading prototype builds, pilot runs, structured problem-solving initiatives, and production readiness activities.
Strong ability to coordinate cross-functional teams without direct authority, manage multiple priorities simultaneously, and communicate findings with clear traceability and documentation.

Although not necessary, it would be nice if you have:

Working knowledge of SAP or another Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, as well as Windchill or another Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) platform.
Proficiency with Creo, CATIA, SolidWorks, or other 3D CAD modeling tools.
Experience in HVAC systems, large-capacity industrial chillers, Engineer-to-Order (ETO) environments, configurable products, or regulated manufacturing environments.
Knowledge of PFMEA (Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis), Control Plans, PPAP (Production Part Approval Process), APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning), or other launch quality methodologies and tools.
Knowledge of programming, automation, systems analysis, or data processing applied to engineering and manufacturing environments.
