Manufacturing Engineer - Data Centers designs, improves, and supports the production workflows and test procedures for our data center fluid conveyance and hose assembly lines. This role bridges the gap between customer specifications and the factory floor to ensure all assemblies are built safely, reliably, and efficiently. This is an advanced role requiring a self-motivated professional who thrives on autonomy, takes full ownership of their projects, and drives factory-floor results without requiring day-to-day supervision.
Salary: $105 - $120 Annually | DOEPrimary Duties: - Process Design: Create and optimize production workflows, work instructions, and assembly methods specifically for data center hose systems.
- Testing & Quality: Develop rigid pressure testing, inspection criteria, and quality checkpoints to ensure zero-defect shipments.
- Technical Documentation: Author and manage Bills of Materials (BOMs), component routings, and 2D/3D design models using CAD and ERP systems.
- Production Support: Provide real-time troubleshooting on the shop floor to resolve assembly bottlenecks, component issues, or testing failures.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Review customer RFQs and drawings to translate technical specifications into practical manufacturing steps alongside sales and purchasing.
- Continuous Improvement & Mentorship: Lead lean initiatives to reduce production lead times, eliminate waste, and provide technical guidance to less experienced technicians and assemblers.
Experience and Education:- Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineering (or equivalent technical experience).
