Position Summary

We are seeking a talented and innovative Engineer to own the performance and development of cutting-edge, high-performance ceiling fan and ceiling fan control systems for residential and light commercial applications. The ideal candidate is a hands-on problem-solver with deep expertise in electrical controls in AC and DC as well as RF and Wi-Fi connectivity. A well-qualified candidate will have experience with electrical residential products, specifically in lighting or fans and understanding of energy efficiency, and compliance standards. A strong understanding of electrical systems and considerations in residential, multi-family and commercial environments will be a benefit.

Join our dynamic Product Development team and contribute to innovative designs that meet global standards and delight customers in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design & Development: Lead the performance and controls of ceiling fans, integrating AC/DC/BLDC motor technologies, motor controls, LED lighting, RF controls, and smart home connectivity (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Alexa, Google Home).
  • Performance Optimization: Evaluate airflow, noise, and energy efficiency analyses and define product performance requirements to ensure exceptional product performance and compliance with standards (UL/ETL, Energy Star, DOE, JA8/Title 24).
  • Technical Expertise: AC and DC electrical control specifications and performance
  • CAD & Documentation: Create and evaluate detailed electrical PCB layouts, 3D CAD models, technical drawings, and Bills of Materials (BOMs) using tools like SolidWorks, Autodesk, or Creo.
  • Prototyping & Testing: Direct external supplier prototype builds, coordinate lab/field testing both domestically and internationally, and perform root-cause analysis to validate performance and resolve issues.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with design, sourcing, product compliance and manufacturing teams to ensure Design for Manufacturability (DFM), cost efficiency, and product feasibility to deliver on product portfolio and business goals.
  • Supplier Management: Collaborate with overseas suppliers (primarily in Asia) to ensure product specifications, quality, and execution are defined and measurable.
  • Sustainability & Innovation: Drive initiatives for energy efficiency, cost optimization, and next-generation technology integration to enhance product competitiveness.
  • Technical Leadership: Deliver executive-level updates on project progress and risks. Mentor junior engineers.
  • Post-Production Support: Offer technical support for installation, warranty issues, and field troubleshooting as needed through collaboration with Customer Service, Sales, and Product Assurance teams.
