The team also responds to sudden, ad hoc material shortages, rapidly identifying and qualifying alternatives to keep production running.\nThe Manager leads a small working team of electrical and mechanical engineers and is personally engaged in the technical work. The role partners with Procurement and the chiller product teams to identify strained component categories, quantify the product demand behind them, plan and execute component qualifications, and get qualified alternates into production - either by implementing them directly or by handing them off to the product team for implementation.\nThe role works across all of Chiller Engineering: the individual product groups and the technology teams. Typical component categories include fans, pump kits, circuit breakers and electrical components, brazed plate heat exchangers, and similar purchased parts.\nHow you will do it\nIdentify strained component categories\nPartner with Procurement and Supply Chain to identify component categories with supply risk - single or sole sources, long or unstable lead times, supplier capacity limits, quality escapes, geopolitical or tariff exposure, and pending obsolescence.\nBuild and maintain a prioritized risk register of strained categories, ranked by supply risk and business impact.\nBring the engineering perspective to Procurement's supplier strategy, including technical capability of candidate suppliers and engineering effort required to qualify them.\nUnderstand product demand for those components\nWork with the product teams to map where each strained component is used across the chiller portfolio - models, configurations, options, and factories. Translate those application demands into a clear technical specification that an alternate component must meet.\nCreate qualification plans\nAuthor a formal qualification plan for each alternate component class, defining the requirements, analysis, test, documentation, and approvals needed to release it for use.\nExecute qualification\nLead execution of qualification plans: engineering analysis, supplier technical reviews, sample and first article evaluation, bench and lab testing, and in-unit testing at the JADEC test lab or factory.\nCoordinate with Supplier Quality and Procurement on supplier PPAP, first article inspection, and supplier quality requirements.\nDocument results in a qualification report and disposition each alternate as approved, approved with conditions, or rejected.\nDeliver alternates in a ready-to-use state: part numbers created, drawings and specifications released, and approved manufacturer information current in SAP and PLM.\nImplement or hand off to product teams\nWork with each product team to decide the implementation path for a qualified alternate.\nWhere it makes sense, the Supply Chain Risk Engineering team implements directly - authoring ECNs through CCB, updating BOMs and KMAT/variant structures, and coordinating effectivity with the factories.\nClose the loop with Procurement so new sources are activated commercially once engineering release is complete.\nRespond to sudden material shortages\nServe as the engineering point of response when a sudden, ad hoc material shortage threatens factory output, working with Procurement, Planning, and the factories to assess impact.\nRapidly identify candidate alternate components or suppliers, evaluate form, fit, function, and compliance, and recommend the fastest acceptable path to keep production running.\nExecute expedited qualifications or engineering deviations where appropriate, with defined risk controls and a plan to complete full qualification afterward.\nFeed lessons from each shortage back into the risk register so recurring problem categories receive proactive multi-source work.\nLead and build the team\nHire, develop, and lead a team of electrical and mechanical engineers; set priorities, assign work, and coach on technical depth and execution.\nAct as a working manager - personally owning qualifications and technical reviews alongside the team.\nDefine the team's operating model, standard work, and metrics, including categories de-risked, qualifications in progress and completed, cycle time, and parts released for multi-source use.\nReport status and risk to engineering and supply chain leadership on a regular cadence.\n\nWhat we look for\nRequired\nBachelor's degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.\n8+ years of engineering experience in product, component, sustaining, or supplier engineering for complex mechanical or electromechanical equipment, preferably HVAC, refrigeration, or industrial capital equipment.\n2+ years leading engineers or technical teams, formally or as a project or team lead.\nDemonstrated experience qualifying alternate components or suppliers, including writing test and qualification plans, running or directing testing, and documenting results.\nWorking knowledge of engineering change processes (ECN/CCB), BOM management, part number lifecycle, and effectivity in a manufacturing environment.\nProficiency with SAP or equivalent ERP for BOM and where-used analysis, and with a PLM system for controlled engineering documents.\nFamiliarity with agency and code requirements for purchased components, such as UL, CSA, CE, and ASME.\nProven ability to influence Procurement, Quality, and product engineering teams without direct authority.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills, comfortable presenting to engineering and supply chain leadership.\nPreferred\nDirect experience with components and systems used in chillers - fans and motors, pumps, breakers and power distribution, VFDs, controls, heat exchangers, or valves.\nExperience in a supplier engineering, component engineering, or strategic sourcing engineering role.\nKnowledge of PPAP, first article inspection, supplier quality, and FMEA.\nFamiliarity with JCI engineering governance including ECN/CCB, P-status lifecycle, KMAT/variant configuration, and Windchill/PLM.\nExperience running or using a test laboratory for component and in-unit validation.\nBilingual proficiency in English and Spanish, given close work with Monterrey and San Antonio factories.\nProfessional Engineer (PE) license.\nRole scope - important note\nThis team focuses on existing components already in production on our chillers. Multi-sourcing for new designs remains the responsibility of the development teams within their program schedules. This is a hands-on working manager role: candidates should expect to lead qualifications personally, not only manage the people doing them. Candidates who enjoy building a new team, solving supplier and component problems that directly protect factory output, and working across many product lines will thrive here.\nHIRING SALARY RANGE: $110,000 - $140,000 (Salary to be determined by the education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities of the applicant, internal equity, and alignment with market data.)
