About the role

Role focused on owning the mechanical systems of modular data center products on the production line, including cooling, piping, and airflow, with hands-on floor presence in Phoenix and responsibility for first-article builds, on-the-spot issue disposition, and feedback into design and BOM.

Responsibilities

  • Own the mechanical systems of the modular product on the line, cooling, piping, and airflow, from released drawings through rate production
  • Live on the Phoenix manufacturing floor: walk the line daily, catch piping and assembly issues at the station where they happen, and disposition them on the spot
  • Run first-article reviews, fit checks, and pressure tests in person as units come down the line
  • Answer mechanical RFIs same-day from the floor, and engineer the fix into the next revision rather than leaving it as a one-off deviation
  • Close the loop to design: feed what the line learns back into drawings, tolerances, and the BOM so the same issue never builds twice

Qualifications

  • You've engineered mechanical systems for complex physical products or modular construction hands-on, not from a desk
  • You've worked on a shop floor or production line, and dispositioning a nonconformance in the moment is familiar work
  • You've supported production launches of your own designs and stayed with them through the problems that only show up at rate
  • Your drawings build clean: fabricators rarely call, and when they do, you fix the drawing
  • You've run first-article builds and pressure tests personally, and when something failed, you traced it to the drawing or the process rather than reworking units one at a time
  • You iterate fast without losing configuration control: every fix lands in a controlled revision, and the line always knows which one it's building
  • Bonus: liquid cooling depth, piping and pressure testing experience, sheet metal design, or strong DFM instincts
