Own the structural systems of a modular data center product on the production line, taking work from released drawings through rate production. Live on the Phoenix manufacturing line to catch fit-up and weld issues in real time, run fit checks and first-article reviews in person, and answer RFIs same-day. Close the loop by feeding what the floor learns back into drawings, tolerances, and the BOM to continuously improve each unit.

Job Summary

Own the structural systems of a modular data center product on the production line, taking work from released drawings through rate production.

Location: Phoenix
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Construction, Civil & Site Engineering

Key Responsibilities

  • •Own the structural systems of the modular product on the line—frames, enclosures, and lifting and transport structures—from released drawings through rate production.
  • •Work on the Phoenix manufacturing line: walk the floor daily, catch fit-up and weld issues at the station, and disposition them on the spot.
  • •Run structural support for the factory in real time by answering RFIs same-day and guiding engineering fixes into the next revision.
  • •Conduct first-article reviews and fit checks in person as units come down the line, documenting findings to drive drawing changes.
  • •Close the loop to design by feeding what the line learns back into drawings, tolerances, and the BOM so the same issue doesn’t recur.

Key Requirements

  • •Experience engineering structures for complex physical products, modular construction, or heavy fabrication, with hands-on work rather than only desk review.
  • •Shop floor or fabrication-line experience, including dispositioning nonconformance with the line waiting (e.g., use-as-is, rework, or stop).
  • •Ability to ensure drawings build clean, fixing drawings when fabricators report issues rather than explaining them away.
  • •Experience supporting production launches of your own designs through early “ugly” units.
  • •Fast iteration while maintaining configuration control—floor fixes must land back in drawings, tolerances, or the BOM.
