• Participate in requirements gathering and decomposition for modernization applications, considering varying hoistway conditions, existing equipment constraints, and code compliance.
• Assist in validation activities including prototype testing, subsystem evaluations, performance studies, and code-related assessments.
• Support engineering change implementation (ECNs), documentation updates, and structured release processes.
• Contribute to technical investigations, including issue triage, root cause analysis, DFMEA inputs, and corrective action activities.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with supply chain, operations, factories, and global engineering teams to ensure successful integration and delivery of MOD solutions.
• Help drive cost reduction, standardization, and reuse of components or modules between New Equipment and Modernization product lines.

What you will need to be successful:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with 3-7 years of relevant experience preferred
• Knowledge of electrical components, control systems, drives (AC/DC), and electromechanical systems
• Familiarity with system architecture, requirements management, and subsystem interactions
• Working knowledge of industrial or elevator codes (ASME A17.1 a plus)
• Experience supporting engineering changes and structured product development (PLM/ECN)
• Ability to support technical investigations, issue diagnosis, and documentation
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate in cross-functional engineering teams
• Willingness to travel up to 15%

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with elevator modernization, controllers, electrical schematics, dispatch/rescue systems, and retrofit constraints
