This also includes writing technical literature, development of bill of materials, product modification, and technical support to production, as well as field support.

We strongly prefer candidates who are highly motivated, utilize critical thinking and practical problem-solving to get things done. As a result of this setup, our engineering team is very multi-disciplinary, and candidates therefore will have the opportunity to explore other disciplines of engineering and science to drive projects to their successful completion.

Essential Duties:

• Bring new appliances to market from conceptual design to finished product, on time and on budget.
• Set up and execute combustion tests on gas-fired appliances, which includes tuning burners, configuring gas valves, and utilizing emissions analyzers to log CO2, CO, and NOx data.
• Physically wire prototype control panels, integrate electromechanical components, and safely perform live troubleshooting on energized circuits during lab testing.
• Conduct R&D and laboratory testing for safety standards certification (UL, CSA, ASME, AHR, etc.) and jurisdictions compliance.
• Schedule individual projects, make adjustments as needed to ensure project completion in the projected time frame.
• Provide engineering support to existing products.
• Provide engineering support to production.
