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.

Overview:     As part of the Equipment Design Engineering (EDE) team, the Design Standards Coordinator is responsible for the development, governance, maintenance, and continuous improvement of equipment design engineering standards, drafting practices, and related documentation.   This role serves as the central authority for design standardization across mechanical, electrical, and multi‑discipline EDE teams, ensuring consistent, compliant, manufacturable, and scalable design execution across products and projects.   The Design Standards Coordinator works closely with engineering leadership, designers, manufacturing, quality, sourcing, and sustaining engineering to align standards with production realities, regulatory requirements, and best‑in‑class engineering practices. The focus of the role is standards governance, practical application, and continuous improvement—reducing rework, eliminating ambiguity, and improving cross‑team alignment.

1) Design Standards & Governance   Own and maintain EDE design standards, guidelines, templates, and best‑practice documentation (drawings, models, BOMs, naming conventions, and documentation structure).   Ensure standards align with regulatory requirements, internal engineering policies, and manufacturing constraints.   Serve as the subject‑matter expert for interpretation and application of EDE design standards.   Ensure alignment with corporate and external standards (CSA, ASME Y14, ISO, ANSI, and internal Silent‑Aire standards).   Govern updates through defined review, approval, and communication processes.   Lead periodic reviews to address gaps, inefficiencies, and recurring design issues.   Support change management activities for new or revised standards, including communication and rollout.    2) Standards Implementation & Compliance   Act as an EDE contact for standards interpretation and application.   Review design and drafting outputs (as needed or on a sampling basis) for standards compliance.   Support Design Review and CoLab processes from a standards‑compliance perspective.   Identify recurring non‑conformances and drive corrective actions through clarification or updates to standards.   Maintain and track EDE VAVE initiatives, coordinating with Engineering, Manufacturing, Procurement, and Finance to validate cost reductions and ensure reported savings are accurate, measurable, and supported by appropriate data.     3) Cross ‑ Functional Coordination   Coordinate standards alignment between EDE and Design Engineering (DE) to ensure consistency across construction packages, submittals, and drawings.   Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Sustaining Engineering to incorporate manufacturability, inspection, and lifecycle feedback into standards.   Support peer reviews and standards interpretation without acting as a design authority or engineer of record.    4) Continuous Improvement   Identify opportunities to simplify, standardize, and reduce complexity in drawings, BOMs, and documentation.   Support the development of standard parts, modules, and design patterns.   Capture lessons learned and integrate them into standards, guidelines, and training materials.   5) Training & Enablement   Develop and maintain training materials related to EDE design standards.   Support onboarding and upskilling of engineers and designers on standards, tools, and expectations.   Act as a subject‑matter resource for standards‑related questions across EDE.
