Senior Manufacturing Engineer

Data Center Manufacturing Engineer – Mechanical / Electrical / Structural / Controls Location: Phoenix, Arizona - 100% onsite requirement Compensation: $170,000 - $230,000 + Pre-IPO Equity Relocation: Comprehensive relocation assistance will be provided for non-locals. About the Opportunity We are supporting a rapidly scaling data-center company that is hiring multiple Manufacturing Engineers across four technical disciplines: MechanicalElectricalStructuralControls Candidates are not expected to have experience across all four disciplines. We are looking for engineers with strong expertise in at least one of these areas. These are highly hands-on engineering roles embedded directly within a major advanced manufacturing operation in Phoenix. You will sit at the intersection of engineering and production, supporting the transition from released design through first article, production ramp and steady-state manufacturing. The successful candidate will be comfortable spending significant time on the production floor, resolving technical issues in real time, working closely with manufacturing teams and feeding lessons learned back into the engineering design. Key Responsibilities Act as the onsite engineering owner for your technical discipline across the manufacturing operation.Support products from released engineering drawings through first article, production ramp and steady-state manufacturing.Work directly with production teams to resolve engineering questions, RFIs, non-conformances and manufacturing issues.Identify design, tolerance, fit-up, assembly or integration issues during production and drive them through resolution.Participate in first-article builds, inspections, testing and production-readiness reviews.Translate production-floor issues into controlled engineering changes, drawing revisions, specification updates and BOM changes.Partner closely with design engineering, manufacturing engineering, quality and operations teams.Improve manufacturability, assembly efficiency, serviceability and repeatability through Design for Manufacturing and Assembly principles.Support root-cause investigations and corrective actions for recurring engineering or production issues.Maintain strong configuration control as designs evolve through the manufacturing ramp.Review manufacturing deviations and determine technically appropriate solutions.Ensure engineering intent is accurately translated into physical production.Develop practical solutions that balance technical requirements, quality, manufacturability and production speed.Build strong relationships with frontline manufacturing teams and become the technical point of contact for your discipline on the production floor. We’re Hiring Across Four Engineering Disciplines Mechanical Mechanical engineers will focus on areas such as: Cooling systemsPiping and fluid systemsAirflow and thermal systemsMechanical equipment integrationSheet metal and fabricated assembliesPressure testing and system validationMechanical interfaces and tolerancesAssembly and installation requirementsMechanical troubleshooting during productionExperience with HVAC, cooling infrastructure, piping, industrial mechanical systems or modular equipment manufacturing would be particularly relevant. Electrical Electrical engineers will focus on areas such as: Electrical distribution systemsPower equipment and electrical assembliesCable routing and electrical interfacesWiring and harnessingElectrical schematics and drawingsEquipment integrationElectrical testing and validationGrounding and bondingManufacturing troubleshooting and electrical non-conformancesExperience within industrial electrical systems, power distribution, data centers, switchgear, electrical equipment manufacturing or complex electrical assemblies would be particularly valuable. Structural Structural engineers will focus on areas such as: Structural steel systemsFabricated steel assembliesWelded connectionsStructural interfaces and tolerancesFabrication drawingsFit-up and dimensional issuesStructural modifications and engineering dispositionsWeld quality and manufacturing constraintsDesign for fabrication and assemblyExperience in structural steel, heavy fabrication, modular construction, industrial structures or welded manufacturing environments would be particularly relevant. Controls Controls engineers will focus on areas such as: Industrial controls systemsPLC-based automationInstrumentation and sensorsControl panelsI/O systemsControls architectureSystem integrationFunctional testingTroubleshooting during manufacturing and commissioningControls-related design changes and configuration managementExperience with PLCs, industrial automation, controls engineering, BMS, SCADA, instrumentation or automated manufacturing systems would be particularly valuable. What We’re Looking For Engineering experience within at least one of the following disciplines: Mechanical, Electrical, Structural or Controls.Experience supporting manufacturing, fabrication, industrial production, product development or construction-related engineering.Ability to interpret and work from engineering drawings, specifications and technical documentation.Experience solving technical problems in a live production or field environment.Strong understanding of how engineering decisions affect manufacturability, quality and production.A practical, hands-on engineering mindset.Strong root-cause analysis and problem-solving capability.Ability to work effectively with manufacturing technicians, operators, supervisors, engineers and leadership.Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where decisions often need to be made quickly.Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical issues clearly to both engineering and production teams.Willingness to spend significant time on the manufacturing floor rather than operating solely from an office environment. Preferred Experience Experience in one or more of the following would be particularly valuable: Advanced manufacturingModular manufacturingData-center infrastructureHeavy industrial manufacturingStructural steel fabricationElectrical equipment manufacturingHVAC or cooling systemsControls and automationIndustrial constructionFirst-article buildsNew product introductionGreenfield manufacturing facilitiesProduction rampsDesign for Manufacturing and AssemblyEngineering change controlHigh-growth or startup environments The Human This role is best suited to an engineer who wants to see their designs become physical products. You should enjoy being close to production, talking directly with the people building the product and solving problems as they happen rather than reviewing them days later from behind a desk. You do not need to be a Mechanical, Electrical, Structural and Controls expert. We are hiring multiple engineers and are looking for deep expertise in one of these four disciplines. What matters is that you understand your technical area, can work effectively in a manufacturing environment and are comfortable taking ownership of problems from identification through resolution. The environment is fast-paced, highly ambitious and execution-focused. The successful candidates will play a critical role in connecting engineering intent with manufacturing reality as the operation scales.
