Test Engineer jobs at Emerson - 46 jobs

Ready to shape the future of professional tools? In this exciting new role as a Systems Engineer in Elyria, OH, you'll be responsible for shaping and guiding the mechanical and product-level system architecture across new product development (NPD) initiatives in partnership with category engineering teams. This is a hands-on technical leadership role that actively shapes early concepts, evaluates tradeoffs, and influences real design decisions. This role ensures our products are built on sound, scalable, reusable mechanical subsystems and interfaces that enable speed, consistency, cross-category integration, and high-quality outcomes. Working across product categories and with multidisciplinary engineering teams, you'll identify subsystem requirements, define mechanical interfaces, align cross-functional stakeholders, and establish strategies for subsystem reuse and design methodology standardization. You'll collaborate with the Electrical Systems Architect and other shared-service teams, most notably Industrial Design, to enable cohesive, user-centered, technically robust product architectures. Your impact will be immediate and lasting - helping deliver solutions pros trust! **In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:** **System Architecture & Requirements Definition** + Define the initial, critical, and detailed mechanical system architecture for new products. + Establish system-level and subsystem-level mechanical requirements based on product-level requirements that guide design, integration, and verification. + Identify required subsystems (structural, thermal, motion, safety, packaging, sealing, etc.) and specify the performance and interface requirements for each. **Subsystem Strategy & Reuse** + Identify opportunities to leverage common mechanical subsystems, components, and design methodologies across product categories. + Lead efforts to develop and maintain reusable subsystem libraries, best-practice templates, and standard interface definitions. + Evaluate tradeoffs between bespoke design and platform reuse based on performance, cost, manufacturability, and NPD speed. **Cross-Functional Technical Collaboration** + Collaborate closely with the Electrical Systems Architect to develop holistic product-level technical architectures and ensure mechanical-electrical-software coherence. + Partner with Industrial Design to align mechanical architecture with user experience, ergonomics, form factor, aesthetic intent, and brand consistency. + Engage Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Product Management, and Service to ensure mechanical architecture decisions are viable, scalable, and aligned with business needs. **NPD Process Enablement & Technical Leadership** + Work with Lead/Principal Engineers on category teams to ensure projects start with clear, intentional, and complete product requirements. + Facilitate architectural reviews focused on early alignment, risk identification, and integration readiness. + Provide early identification of technical risks and guide research, prototyping, or analysis activities needed to de-risk architectures in collaboration with the Lead Engineer. + Monitor mechanical architecture implementation across projects and ensure learnings feed continuous improvement. **Technology Evaluation & Innovation** + Evaluate emerging mechanical technologies, materials, and design approaches for potential application in future products. + Drive innovation in mechanical integration, miniaturization, motion systems, sealing strategies, structural solutions, and other domain-relevant areas. **Who You Are:** You create teamwork allowing others across the organization to achieve shared objectives. You effectively communicate in various settings: one-on-one, small and large groups, or among diverse styles and position levels. You evaluate pros and cons, risks and benefits of different solution options. You create competitive and breakthrough strategies that show a clear connection between vision and action. You encourage diverse thinking to promote and nurture innovation. **For This Role, You Will Need:** + Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or related field + 5+ years of experience in mechanical system design, systems engineering, or architecture roles + Experience developing complex electro-mechanical products **Preferred Qualifications That Set You Apart:** + Experience with consumer or industrial hardware NPD in multidisciplinary environments. + Experience defining mechanical system architectures or leading early-phase concept development. + Proficiency with CAD tools and simulation/analysis methods (FEA, thermal analysis, tolerance analysis). + Familiarity with DFMA, reliability engineering, and design controls. + Experience integrating mechanical designs with embedded electronics. **Our Culture & Commitment to You:** At Emerson, we prioritize a workplace where every employee is valued, respected, and empowered to grow.
