• Support new product development and product improvement projects by developing concepts, performing stack-up analysis, and converting ideas into detailed designs.
• Manage engineering changes from initiation through release, ensuring compliance with established standards, processes, and quality requirements.
• Conduct assembly-level layout analysis, identify design risks, and provide recommendations that improve product quality, manufacturability, and performance.
• Apply Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) tools and methodologies, including DFMEA, Risk Management, P-Diagrams, and DVPR, to support predictable and reliable product development.

You'll also collaborate with internal stakeholders, suppliers, and customers to resolve technical issues and ensure designs meet both Danfoss and customer expectations.

• Knowledge of engineering standards and practices, including GD&T, stack-up analysis, and ASME/ISO standards.
