Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design, development, and optimization of smoke sensor enclosures and airflow systems. As a key member of our engineering team, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance smoke sensor solutions that meet the stringent requirements of our customers.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead the design and development of smoke sensor enclosures and airflow systems, ensuring optimal performance in detecting smoke particles and minimizing false alarms.
  • Conduct smoke and airflow simulations using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to analyze and optimize sensor enclosure designs for efficient smoke detection and airflow patterns.
  • Collaborate with electronics engineers to integrate sensor components into the mechanical design, optimizing placement and alignment for maximum sensitivity and reliability.
  • Perform thermal analysis and heat dissipation studies to ensure proper operation of sensor components under various environmental conditions.
  • Design and prototype sensor enclosures using CAD software, considering factors such as material selection, manufacturability, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Conduct testing and validation of sensor enclosures and airflow systems, analyzing performance metrics and addressing any issues or deficiencies through iterative refinement and optimization.
  • Drive innovation in smoke sensor technology through research, experimentation, and evaluation of emerging technologies and industry trends.
Requirements
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in mechanical engineering, with a focus on product development and smoke sensor design.
  • Strong proficiency in smoke and airflow simulation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software such as ANSYS Fluent, COMSOL Multiphysics, or similar.
  • Proficiency in CAD software such as SolidWorks, or Creo for 3D modeling and design.
  • Proficiency in 2D drawings, critical-to-function dimensions, and tolerance stacks.
  • Deep understanding of heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics principles as they apply to smoke sensor design and airflow analysis.
  • Experience with enclosure designs and manufacturability techniques for mechanical components in confined spaces.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot complex mechanical issues and optimize performance for efficiency and reliability.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and present technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
What We Offer
  • Work in a Hybrid setting (3 days in office, 2 days remote)
  • Enjoy work-life balance with generous vacation time that can be scheduled with manager approval based on business priorities and personal needs, without pre-set maximums.
  • Immediate eligibility for Medical, Dental, Vision insurance and 401K.

We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applications from diverse candidates. If you are a seasoned mechanical engineer with a passion for smoke sensor development and expertise in smoke and airflow simulation, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity to join our team at Resideo.
