Product Design Engineer

Build and launch marine vacuum and rotating equipment with a team focused on design completion, qualification, and controlled release into production. Ingersoll Rand’s Marine Qualification & Development work helps ensure new products are engineered, validated, and transitioned with technical rigor, cross-functional collaboration, and accountable documentation.

This onsite role in Charleroi, PA (Bentleyville area) supports the design, development, qualification, and release of marine vacuum pumps, compressors, packaged systems, and related equipment. You will own newer product execution through design completion and qualification, while also improving existing products and coordinating with multiple functions to move qualified work into manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, evaluate, and improve marine vacuum pumps, compressors, packaged systems, and related rotating equipment.
• Support products through design completion, initial builds, validation, qualification, controlled release, and transition into production.
• Review customer specifications, contract requirements, applicable standards, and product requirements to determine their design impact.
• Create engineering calculations, three-dimensional models, layouts, detail drawings, bills of material, and supporting technical documentation.
• Participate in design reviews, technical risk assessments, manufacturing-readiness reviews, and qualification-readiness activities.
• Partner with the Automated Test Engineer to define validation needs, operating conditions, acceptance criteria, and required test evidence.
• Investigate product issues found during manufacturing, assembly, inspection, testing, or qualification, then develop design solutions.
• Prepare, review, and support approval of engineering change requests, bill-of-material changes, drawing revisions, and related technical documentation per established approval requirements.
• Provide technical guidance to Operations, Quality, Manufacturing, Sourcing, Test Engineering, Project Management, and Customer Support.
• Maintain controlled engineering records and document the technical basis for significant design decisions.
• Identify and communicate technical risks early to protect qualification, performance, cost, and schedule.
• Coordinate across functions to support product qualification, controlled release, and transition into production.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• 3+ years of progressive experience in rotating equipment design, mechanical product design, industrial equipment design, manufacturing engineering, or a related engineering environment.
• 3+ years of experience developing or maintaining three-dimensional models, engineering drawings, bills of material, and other controlled product documentation.
• 3+ years of working knowledge of manufacturing processes, including machining, casting, fabrication, mechanical assembly, rotating equipment design principles, and related inspection practices.
• 3+ years of experience maintaining engineering data and product documentation in an ERP, PLM, or comparable controlled system.
• Must be a U.S. citizen and eligible to obtain and maintain required government security clearances.
