This role in summary

Whirlpool is currently seeking qualified candidates for a Engineering Analyst opening to join our Edgewater Technology Center Engineering and Technology organization.

You will support new product integration as well as future cost and quality projects as a Cooking Technology Subsystem Engineer. This will involve translating a project scope into an actionable development plan by creating a project schedule, performing concept generation, creating and executing test plans, releasing component and subsystem designs, and supporting implementation into a manufacturing process. On a daily basis, you will need to brainstorm design concepts to meet product requirements and then evaluate the concepts through lab testing and simulation analyses. It will be your responsibility to manage design trade-offs between performance, cost, aesthetics, and other product attributes. Trade-off management will require collaboration with a wide spectrum of process partners from other engineers to the marketing organization.  On any given day, you will have a wide variety of work that needs to be self managed and prioritized to meet project commitments.

• Manage design tradeoffs between cost, aesthetics, performance, and other design attributes.

• Align current capability of architecture/supplier/manufacturing/customer solutions to meet product attribute targets and identify solutions for projects where current capability does not align to targets.

• Define a work plan and divide tasks/responsibilities between projects taking into account priorities, milestones and results to be achieved.

• Demonstrate project management skills to drive projects through the design, testing, and implementation phase in a timely manner.

• Coordinate prototype build plans to evaluate design concepts through physical lab testing.

• Work with cross-functional team members (Engineering, Manufacturing, Procurement, Marketing, Service, etc.)

• Participate in and lead Technical Design Previews for owned components as needed.

• Prepare engineering change documentation.
