About the Role:

Sloan is hiring for an open Senior Mehcanical Engineerrole based out of our Franklin Park IL headquarterns and will report to the Design Engineering Manager. This position requires strong mechanical engineering (fluidics hydraulics etc.) and manufacturing knowledge (castings machining injection molding) but must also be familiar with electronics and sensor integration. Responsible for engineering analysis prototyping and experiments to support new product development and production ensuring high standards of quality. Utilize develop and promote the use of best practices in engineering such as DFMEA tolerance analysis DOE. Develop specifications and proposals and lead multi-site internal engineering resources and outside design partners to execute mission critical projects contributing to Sloans future growth.

What youll do:

• Design new products and develop innovative solutions that maximize the efficiency
  of water utilization in complex and variable plumbing systems building a deep
  understanding of the interactions between plumbing system components and
  different installation environments.
• Develop and document engineering
  specifications material requirements and process ECNs.
• Plan and execute robust experimentation validation and verification of new and
  improved product design performance as part of a fully integrated plumbing system.
• Develop R&D test plans to validate engineering designs to product requirements.
• Analyze and resolve design challenges and quality issues via a solid understanding of
  the science behind the design through appropriate engineering analysis including
  FEA and CFD tolerance analysis statistical methods design of experiments
  simulation calculation and other engineering methodologies
• Prepare clear and concise documentation for designs including drawings inspection
  requirements calibration procedures engineering reports and work instructions.
