Join Silent-Aire Powering the Worlds Data Centers Silent-Aire, a division of Johnson Controls, is a global leader in owner equipment manufacturing (OEM) dedicated to providing custom solutions for data center customers.

Our product line includes large-scale equipment such as air handling units and modular data centers.

We pride ourselves on innovation, quality, and delivering tailored solutions to meet our clients'' unique needs.

We currently operate manufacturing facilities in: Edmonton Sherwood Park Nisku We offer multiple shift options to fit your lifestyle: Rotating Day Shift (Continental) Monday to Thursday Night Shift Weekend Night Shift (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) Position Overview: The Electrical Design Engineer plays a critical role in driving Value Analysis / Value Engineering (VA/VE) initiatives within our OEM equipment manufacturing organization.

This role owns manufacturability and safety outcomes for equipment designs ensuring products are robust, costeffective, safe, and productionready.

Acting as the technical bridge between design intent and factory execution, this role directly supports Silent

Aires transition from engineerintensive builds to repeatable, ratedriven manufacturing systems.

Key Responsibilities: What you will do: Working closely with Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, and Sustaining Engineering, the DFM Engineer acts as the technical bridge between design intent and factory execution driving design decisions that reduce complexity, eliminate rework, improve throughput, and lower total cost.

How you will do it: Design for Manufacturing/Safety Lead DFM reviews for new and existing equipment designs to ensure manufacturing readiness prior to release Identify and eliminate manufacturability risks related to tolerances, assembly sequence, access, ergonomics, tooling, and safety Drive design simplification, part reduction, modularization,



and standardization initiatives across EDE programs Ensure designs support linerate production targets with minimal engineering intervention Embed Design for Safety principles into all designs from concept through release, ensuring hazards are eliminated or mitigated at the design levelnot through procedural controls Ensure designs support safe manufacturing, assembly, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning, with appropriate access, guarding, and serviceability Eliminate unsafe manufacturing practices (e.g., manual drilling, unsafe rework, poor access) through robust design solutions, subassemblies, fixtures, and pokayoke features Ensure ergonomic and humanfactors considerations are addressed to reduce injury risk during build and service activities Participate in peer, manufacturing, and leadership design reviews with clear accountability for manufacturability and safety outcomes Cross

Functional Collaboration Partner with Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Production, Quality, and Supply Chain to incorporate factory feedback early and continuously Support PFMEA, virtual builds, and manufacturing signoff activities as part of the design release process Act as a technical escalation point for manufacturability and safety issues identified during build or production rampup Standards, Processes, and Governance Develop, maintain, and enforce DFM guidelines, standard work, and design checklists within EDE Ensure compliance with internal drafting standards and applicable codes (e.g., ASME Y14)



Support engineering change management by ensuring changes improve manufacturability and do not introduce downstream risk Continuous Improvement & Throughput Enablement Lead VA/VE initiatives focused on cost reduction, quality improvement, and cycletime reduction Analyze manufacturing defects, rework, and nonconformances to drive permanent design improvements Contribute to SKU reduction, standard part adoption, and reuse targets across programs What we are looking for: Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering, or a Technical/Associate Degree or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering with equivalent experience 7+ years of experience in equipment design, manufacturing engineering, or DFMfocused roles Seniorlevel product design experience delivering complex equipment designs in a production environment Demonstrated ability to independently solve complex technical problems and drive alignment across multiple stakeholders Proficiency in PTC Creo 9, with working knowledge of Windchill PLM and SAP Strong understanding of fabrication, machining, forming, welding, and assembly processes Demonstrated experience releasing productionready designs in an OEM manufacturing workplace Ability to provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and designers Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present and defend technical recommendations Ability to interpret and influence PFMEA, tolerance strategies, and assembly sequencing Working knowledge of industry standards and practices relevant to air handling and OEM equipment Preferred Qualifications: Experience supporting highvolume or ratedriven manufacturing environments Familiarity with structured change control and PLM systems (Windchill preferred) Background in industrial or largescale equipment (HVAC, enclosures, modular systems, machinery) Professional Engineer (P.
