Overview In this role you own end-to-end development of core gas-fired heating products, from concept through compliance testing to manufacturing support. You will lead new designs, address obsolescence and market feedback, and drive CSA/BSI certifications for NA and EU markets. You partner with cross-functional teams to ensure designs meet safety and performance standards while controlling costs. This is a hands-on position with a clear impact on product quality, certification readiness, and manufacturing readiness.
Responsibilities- Design new gas-fired heating products aligned with product planning proposals
- Redesign and modify existing products to address obsolescence, cost pressures, regulatory updates, and customer feedback
- Own CSA and BSI certification submission packages and manage test schedules
- Create and edit detailed CAD drawings using SolidWorks
- Prototype and conduct lab testing in the certified lab, documenting tests per lab manuals
- Ensure designs comply with CSA/ANSI Z83, BS EN 416-1/416-2, and applicable NFPA codes
- Provide BOMs, part numbers, and supplier input to the Engineering Services Coordinator
- Develop installation manuals, product labels, and service documentation
- Identify cost-reduction opportunities via value engineering and collaborate with supply chain
- Support manufacturing during first-run assembly and provide ongoing engineering support
Key requirements- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering
- 3+ years of product engineering experience in gas-fired appliances, commercial heating, or HVAC equipment
- Proficiency in SolidWorks (or equivalent 3D modeling software)
- Total work experience exceeds 4 years
- SolidWorks
- CSA/BSI certification processes (and European market certifications such as BS EN standards, UKCA, CE)
- Lab testing and combustion knowledge (burners, gas valves, flame management, ignition systems)
- Low-voltage controls integration (up to 600V)
