Job Summary
Own the mechanical systems of the modular product on the Phoenix line, covering cooling, piping, and airflow from released drawings through rate production. Live on the manufacturing floor daily to catch and disposition piping and assembly issues at the station, then 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, engineer fixes into the next revision rather than leaving them as one-off deviations, and close the loop to design by feeding line learnings back into drawings, tolerances, and the BOM.
Required 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, not an escalation
- 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
Desired Qualifications
- Bonus: liquid cooling depth, piping and pressure testing experience, sheet metal design, or strong DFM instincts
