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\nCSPS builds productivity tools for chiller design teams. Our latest release, the Baffled Condenser Vessel Designer, takes engineering inputs (size, shape, clearances and more) and generates a condenser tube layout and its geometry data from standard design rules.\nJohnson Controls is seeking a Senior Design Automation Engineer! Today, geometry data is fed into a design server that automatically generates CAD models and drawings through custom scripting. Together, these tools save more than 100 hours of design time. The next step is extending this approach across additional stages of the chiller design process, enabling teams to iterate faster, improve consistency, and deliver results more efficiently.\nThis position can be remote for anyone based in the US.\nHow you will do it\nAssess needs and define requirements\nWork with design engineers to map current design processes and find bottlenecks, rework and manual steps worth automating.\nTurn those findings into clear requirements, scope and success measures for new tools.\nPrioritize opportunities by hours saved, error reduction, and effort to build.\nBuild and deliver design tools\nWork with the CSPS development team to plan, design and implement new design tools and extend existing ones, such as the Baffled Condenser Vessel Designer.\nDevelop calculation methods that connect engineering inputs to geometry data.\nWork with the team to develop Creo automation scripts that generate CAD geometry from design inputs, whether by delegating to developers, writing scripts directly, or using AI-assisted coding tools.\nTest tools against real design cases and support engineers through rollout and adoption.\nCodify design rules and standards\nAnalyze historical design data to extract design rules, standard configurations and best practices.\nDocument rules and standards so they can be reviewed by engineering and encoded in tools.\nKeep rule sets current as products and standards change.\nDevelop engineering calculations\nDevelop and validate engineering calculations needed by design tools, such as geometry, clearances and sizing.\nVerify calculation results against existing methods and get sign-off from engineering owners.\nBring AI into the design process\nIdentify where AI and machine learning can help, such as suggesting starting designs, checking outputs against standards or searching past designs.\nPrototype and evaluate AI approaches and move the ones that prove out into production tools.\nWhat you will need\nRequired\nBachelor’s degree in engineering; Mechanical Engineering preferred. \n5+ years of engineering experience in product design, manufacturing or a related field.\nAbility to read and evaluate engineering drawings, design processes and calculations, and suggest practical improvements.\nSome hands-on programming or scripting experience, such as Python scripts or CAD automation.\nStrong communication skills for gathering requirements from engineers and explaining technical tradeoffs to both engineers and developers.\nPreferred\nExperience with HVAC, chillers, heat exchangers or pressure vessel design.\nSoftware development experience beyond scripting: version control (Git), testing, and working in a team codebase.\nWeb application development experience with Angular and TypeScript.\nExperience with PTC Creo, including Creo automation (for example, Creo Toolkit, J-Link/Object TOOLKIT or Pro/PROGRAM), or working with rules-based or generative design.\nExperience working with engineering data: cleaning, analyzing and finding patterns in historical design records.\nHands-on use of AI tools in an engineering setting, such as using large language models or AI coding assistants to write scripts, analyze design data, check calculations or speed up design tasks.\nExperience gathering requirements or acting as the link between users and a development team.\nHIRING SALARY RANGE: $100,000 - $120,000 (Salary to be determined by the education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities of the applicant, internal equity, and alignment with market data.)
