Position Summary
The Sr Design Engineer will work in a cross-functional that designs, develops, manufactures, and services Intellihot tankless water heaters, boilers, and other products. Knowledge of building the entire system as well as individual components is preferred.
Build, assemble, test prototypes, and put together the entire system. Hands-on work and prior exposure to castings, sheet metals, O-rings, water & gas manifolds are necessary. Identify, develop, and manage select suppliers with a variety of the field's concepts, practices, and procedures.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and evaluate mechanical/electromechanical products, equipment, systems, and processes to meet program requirements by applying engineering principles, including detailed analysis as appropriate.
- Design and develop new heat exchangers, and modify existing heat exchangers
- Investigate system malfunctions or anomalies, identify the root cause and corrective actions, and provide technical information to justify conclusions.
- Oversee assembly, test, integration, operation, maintenance, and repair of products to ensure they perform to specifications.
- Using PTC Creo, design and create water heater/boiler/HVAC components, assemblies, fixtures, and parts 3D solid geometry models.
- Distill system requirements into component and subsystem requirements.
- Specify system component requirements or modify existing products to ensure conformance with engineering design intent and performance specifications.
- Generate engineering drawings with geometric dimensioning and tolerances. These drawings should be suitable to support the machining and manufacturability of the components.
- Interface with suppliers and external contractors
- Develop and implement manufacturing processes. For example - BOM, assembly drawings, routers, quality control, etc.
- Become familiar with appliance design, HVAC components, O-rings, piping, sheet metal, casting process, and machining techniques.
- Build and test prototypes, new products, fixtures, or assembly processes.
- Travel: less than 10%
- Perform other duties as assigned

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
