Own the mechanical systems of modular data center units on the Phoenix manufacturing floor, from released drawings through rate production. Run first-article builds, fit checks, and pressure tests in person, answer mechanical RFIs same-day, and engineer fixes into controlled revisions. Close the loop between the factory floor and design by feeding station learnings back into drawings, tolerances, and BOMs so issues don’t repeat.

Location: Phoenix
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Research & Scientific (R&D)

Key Responsibilities

  • •Own mechanical systems of modular data center units (cooling, piping, and airflow) from released drawings through rate production.
  • •Live on the Phoenix manufacturing floor, walking the line daily to catch piping and assembly issues 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 fixes into the next controlled revision rather than leaving one-off deviations.
  • •Feed learnings from the line back into drawings, tolerances, and the BOM to prevent the same issue from building twice.

Pay and Benefits

Salary: USD 169,000 - 208,000 annually

Key Requirements

  • •Engineered mechanical systems for complex physical products or modular construction hands-on, not only from a desk.
  • •Worked on a shop floor or production line, with experience dispositioning nonconformances in the moment.
  • •Supported production launches of your designs and stayed through problems that appear at rate.
  • •Created drawings that build clean, minimizing fabricator callbacks and resolving issues in the drawings when they do occur.
  • •Ran first-article builds and pressure tests personally, tracing failures to drawings or process rather than reworking units individually.
