A Snapshot of Your Day

In this role within the Generator Order Management team, you will be essential in processing customer orders for large generators by translating technical requirements into manufacturable engineering designs. Your responsibilities will focus on three core areas: technical order engineering, project and workflow management, and cross-functional technical collaboration. This ensures that customer specifications are accurately designed and efficiently managed through internal processes, with support from departments like manufacturing and quality. The ideal candidate will have significant experience in mechanical and electrical engineering for large rotating equipment, along with proven project management skills, proficiency in CAD tools, and strong problem-solving abilities

How You'll Make an Impact

• Translate customer technical specifications into detailed engineering designs and product configurations for large generators, creating and modifying complex 3D models and 2D manufacturing drawings using CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD).
• Perform engineering calculations and apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles to ensure robust, production-ready designs while selecting appropriate materials and components based on performance and cost.
• Manage the engineering lifecycle for assigned customer orders, ensuring timely completion of design and documentation deliverables while utilizing Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems to track progress.
• Collaborate with sales, manufacturing, quality assurance, and purchasing teams to resolve technical challenges and ensure design feasibility, participating in DFMEA and design reviews to identify and mitigate risks.
• Provide expert technical guidance and mentorship to team members on complex design problems and support the resolution of technical issues during manufacturing or testing.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field is required to ensure a strong foundational knowledge in engineering principles relevant to the role.
• 6-8+ years of experience in product design or order engineering is essential, specifically in the context of heavy rotating equipment, power generation systems, or similar complex machinery.
• Proven expertise in translating customer technical specifications into manufacturable designs, demonstrating a deep understanding of engineering processes and methodologies.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to manage complex engineering projects effectively, ensuring timely delivery and adherence to quality standards.
• Familiarity with CAD software and design tools is crucial for creating and modifying engineering designs and supporting documentation.
• Applicants must be legally authorized for employment in the United States without need for current or future employer-sponsored work authorization. Siemens Energy employees with current visa sponsorship may be eligible for internal transfers.
