Backed by advanced technology, lifecycle services, and an industry-leading field organization, we elevate customer performance, turn goals into real-world results, and help move society forward.\nVisit johnsoncontrols.com for more information and follow @JohnsonControls on social platforms.\nWhat you will do\nJohnson Controls has organized Global DFM Engineering around the Manufacturability Cycle: three connected teams that take a manufacturing idea from first trial to a released design standard and into new chiller programs, with lessons from every launch feeding the next idea. The Product Industrialization team is the Deployment stage of that cycle. It carries the Global DFM Standard into priority new product programs and engineering changes from the Concept gate onward, and hands a clean package to New Product Introduction (NPI) and plant manufacturing engineers.\nAs Principal Engineer, you will be the team’s senior technical authority. You will lead DFM on the most complex, highest-priority chiller programs and own the playbook that makes DFM repeatable across programs. You will also stay hands-on: on the factory floor, in design reviews, and in Kaizen events, making sure what we design can be built safely, at quality, on cost, and on time.\nThis role is onsite in New Freedom, PA. Various different relocation packages are available for non local candidates. Must be a US citizen or green card holder.\nHow you will do it\nLead DFM and industrialization on flagship programs\nServe as DFM lead on the most complex priority programs and engineering changes, from Concept through manufacturing launch.\nOwn the industrialization deliverables: manufacturing specification, process flow and material flow maps, block layout with capital estimate, parts matrix, and factory alignment plan.\nAdvise product engineers on design choices affected by the Global DFM Standard before they are locked in, through drawing, model, and design reviews.\nEnsure information released for manufacture conforms to global manufacturing standards and current best practice.\nPrepare data and product comparisons for DFM workshops, make/buy decisions, and equipment return-on-investment cases.\nOwn the deployment playbook\nDefine and maintain the standard method, templates, and deliverables for DFM on priority programs, aligned to the product development gate process (RCLP) and NPI launch gates.\nDefine the “definition of done” for major projects and minor changes, and drive its fulfillment on time and on cost.\nDevelop and maintain the factory capabilities matrix so designs fit existing factory tooling and methods.\nPublish templates that plant manufacturing engineers use on non-priority programs.\nGovern and feed back\nLead complex DFM reviews and exception decisions; recommend standard revisions to the DFM Standards team.\nTurn unsolved program problems into well-defined candidates for the Manufacturing Technology pipeline.\nScout, demonstrate, and introduce advanced manufacturing technologies and automation for chiller production.\nSupport the factory floor\nProvide on-site production support as the design representative during launches and critical project milestones.\nJoin Manufacturing Engineering on Kaizen events and quality concerns, representing the improvements needed from design.\nIdentify the key characteristics that need control plans, in support of Manufacturing Engineering.\nMaintain a strong focus on health and safety in every process and factory environment.\nTechnical leadership and mentoring\nReview deliverables from senior and early-career engineers and coach them on technical judgment and influence.\nRepresent DFM in program reviews and launch gate reviews with senior engineering and operations leaders.\nWhat we look for\nRequired\nBachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering, or a closely related discipline, from an accredited four-year university.\n7+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, NPI, industrialization, or DFM/DFMA for complex mechanical or electromechanical equipment, with substantial hands-on time on the factory floor.\nA track record of leading manufacturing readiness on multiple complex product launches from concept to production.\nWorking knowledge of fabrication and assembly processes: pipe bending, welding and brazing, sheet metal fabrication, machining, and assembly.\nExpertise in factory layout, process and material flow design, capital estimation, and line balancing.\nStrong knowledge of PFMEA, control plans, PPAP, engineering change, BOM structure (EBOM/MBOM), and stage-gate development.\nExperience reviewing drawings, schematics, and 3D models and giving actionable feedback in design reviews.\nWorking knowledge of PLM, 3D CAD, and ERP/MES systems.\nAbility to influence senior product engineering and operations leaders without direct authority, and to balance the needs of design teams, factories, and supply chains.\nStrong data-driven problem-solving and decision-making skills.\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills.\nPreferred\nMaster’s degree in an engineering discipline.\nExperience with chillers or similar large HVAC equipment.\nFamiliarity with JCI engineering governance, including ECN/CCB, P-status lifecycle, variant configuration, and Windchill/PLM.\nExperience introducing advanced manufacturing technology or automation into production.\nSix Sigma Black Belt or PMP.\nExperience working in an agile project management environment.\nBilingual proficiency in English and Spanish.\nHIRING SALARY RANGE: $100,000 - $145,000 (Salary to be determined by the education, experience, knowledge,skills, and abilities of the applicant, internal equity, and alignment with market data.)
