Thermal constraints limit AI infrastructure, semiconductor equipment, power electronics, and defense systems. JCI removes those constraints. Enabled by the Stack Forging™ process, JCI produces high-performance thermal components and cooling loop solutions - purpose-built for direct integration into AI, HPC, and mission-critical systems. JCI has built the industry's leading thermal management platform for the applications that demand it most.
As a Builder on the Stack Forging Thermal Solutions team at Johnson Controls, you'll join a team of sleeve-rollers who set a high bar for themselves and their co-workers. We foster a collaborative culture with no silos, where everyone is encouraged to think out loud. If you are passionate about your craft and don't give up until you've found a way, you will make an ideal Builder!

What You'll Do
As a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Advanced Manufacturing, you will be responsible for defining and building the standards, documentation, and structure required to transition machines from prototype to scalable production-enabling consistent builds by internal teams and contract manufacturers with minimal reliance on tribal knowledge. You will report to the Sr. Manager of the Manufacturing Operations team and lead a cross-functional program team dedicated to scaling up the manufacturing line for JCI Stack Forging's thermal management offerings.
Who You Are
You are a seasoned manufacturing professional and take pride in the quality and reliability of the systems you build. You are a detail-oriented, collaborative problem solver who can effectively bridge design engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain. You will play a critical role in driving repeatability, reducing variation, accelerating assembly, and improving quality as production scales. You are a high-ownership, "builder" mindset with the ability to move fast and make pragmatic tradeoffs.This position generally requires a commitment of 5 days onsite per week.
