Job Responsibility

Lead customer projects for Industrial division (Systems - Rail and Alternate power) thermal management products (e.g., cooling modules, heat exchangers, battery thermal management systems, radiators etc.) from initial concept through project release to production
Perform system-level engineering bridging mechanical thermal components with electrical power distribution, controls, sensors, and industrial control panels
Manage project lifecycle: voice of the customer, technical specification development, design reviews, prototype product release to production, participate in validation testing and APQP/PPAP processes
Perform or oversee thermal calculations, heat transfer analysis, sizing, and system simulations using internal tools (AKG Cooler/Strength)
Coordinate internal teams including design engineering, operations, quality, purchasing, and R&D to communicate requirements and timelines effectively
Collaborate with electrical and controls engineering teams to ensure proper integration of power electronics, instrumentation, and communication interfaces (CAN, Modbus, etc.)
Ensure designs comply with relevant electrical, safety, and energy storage standards, including NFPA 70 / NEC, UL 508A, UL 9540, UL 1973, and applicable battery testing standards (ISO 12405 / IEC 62660) for industrial, rail, and alternate power system applications
Review customer specifications and translate them into compliant engineering solutions that meet electrical safety requirements, energy storage certification needs, and industry best practices
Support root cause analysis, problem-solving (8D, A3), and continuous improvement projects related to thermal performance and production
Ensure compliance with industry standards, customer specifications, and AKG quality systems (ISO 9001:2015 standards)
Travel domestically/internationally (up to 10%) for customer meetings, events, conferences, prototype reviews, and production support

Requirements

Bachelor's degree (4-year) in Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronics Engineering, with coursework or experience in mechanical, electrical, and controls integration
2–4 years of experience in rail or industrial power systems (energy storage, battery systems, traction power, or thermal management) with exposure to mechanical, electrical, and controls integration preferred
Strong mechatronics foundation with ability to analyze mechanical structures, electrical circuits, control logic, wiring, sensors, and electromechanical assemblies
Working knowledge of thermal management, heat transfer, and system-level engineering for rail, industrial, or energy storage applications
Familiarity with key industry standards: NFPA 70/NEC, UL 508A, UL 9540, UL 1973, ISO 12405, IEC 62660
Experience with project management practices including planning, risk management, tracking, and data-driven decision making
Strong communication skills - written, verbal, and interpersonal with the ability to work effectively with customers, suppliers, and internal teams
Excellent problem-solving and organizational skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks and make independent decisions
Professional, customer-focused attitude with the ability to maintain confidentiality and trust
Product launch experience and knowledge of prototype development and serial production processes
Ability to collaborate closely with electrical, controls, design, and manufacturing teams during prototype build and commissioning
Ability to coordinate domestic and international travel as needed
Must be able to sit (70%), walk (20%) and stand (10%) of the time
Must use safety equipment such as steel toe shoes and safety glasses when walking in the plant
Must be able to lift up to 20 pounds (5%) of the time
