Applications Engineer - Engines

The Systems Engineer-Engines is responsible for providing engineering input to the product development projects assigned to him/her including interfacing with the cross functional team consisting of engineering, operations (industrial engineering, production, and material procurement), sourcing, quality, service, and marketing., * Specifies, gives input to design, validates, and brings new products to market.

• Specifies precise new product functional requirements; tests and integrates a variety of moderately complex components to produce final designs; and evaluates the design’s overall effectiveness, cost (including cost/benefit analysis), reliability (risk analysis), and safety.
• Works with multiple engineering groups to design, develop, execute, and evaluates overall system fitness-for-use testing, product specifications and process validation plans for a variety of moderately complex products and/or components.
• Collaborates with internal manufacturing partners, contract manufacturers, designers and product specialists to optimize moderately complex designs for manufacturability.
• Gives input into CAD (Computer Aided Design) or CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) systems modeling for new designs.
• Supporting product development plans (schedule, product cost, meeting design inputs)
• Acts as a resource to mentor and teach less experienced engineers.
• Travel to other Generac facilities as necessary.
• Other duties as assigned
