.PRODUCT ENGINEERAre you inspired by challenging the status quo? Do you thrive in collaborative environments that drive results? If so, Gates could be for you.Gates is a leading manufacturer of application-specific fluid power and power transmission solutions. We push the boundaries of material science to engineer solutions that continually exceed customer expectations.Let's simplify it, think belts and hoses. Found in motorcycles, conveyor belts, cars, tractors, blenders, vacuum cleaners, bicycles, & 3D printers just to name a few. Because why not do it all?What To ExpectAs an innovation leader, we look for ambitious, forward thinking, open-minded and well-rounded individuals to join our global team.The hose product engineering team is responsible for the design, development, and performance testing of hoses used in hydraulic, industrial, fluid transfer, and automotive applications. In this role there will be opportunities to work with a diverse product offering spanning multiple applications and markets with the guidance of more senior product development engineers. The right candidate will become a member of an experienced team, executing projects globally to drive expansion of the fluid power business.The product reliability team is responsible for product forensic analysis (FA), technique and systems development to support FA and providing statistical analysis on existing product performance to construct reliability models to optimize testing and product performance. The reliability team is also responsible for creating new mathematical methods and validating correlations to advance the science of hose design, as well as piloting new product concepts and technology to drive innovation.Key Responsibilities (to Name a Few)Execute tasks with a global team to fully implement optimization proposalsProduct BOM managementCreation of lab orders for product testingAnalyzing product test resultsOrganizing and monitoring builds of test materialsBenchmarking of products in industryExperimentation to enhance product designForensic analysisInteraction with cross functional global teams (including operations, quality, material development, process engineering, commercial, etc.)Must be able to quickly learn to apply core engineering and six sigma skills such as problem solving, SPC data collection and analysis, FMEA, DOE, etc.Limited travel may be required (5-15%), potentially including international travel.Required SkillsKeeps self-control in hard situations.Strong Communication skillsProblem Solving and decision making.Customer focus (internal and external)Negotiation skillsCreativity, proactivity, and teamwork
