Senior Manufacturing Engineer (Mechanical/Electrical/Structural/Controls) – Data Center Production

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:

• Mechanical
• Electrical
• Structural
• Controls

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 systems
• Piping and fluid systems
• Airflow and thermal systems
• Mechanical equipment integration
• Sheet metal and fabricated assemblies
• Pressure testing and system validation
• Mechanical interfaces and tolerances
• Assembly and installation requirements
• Mechanical troubleshooting during production

Experience 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 systems
• Power equipment and electrical assemblies
• Cable routing and electrical interfaces
• Wiring and harnessing
• Electrical schematics and drawings
• Equipment integration
• Electrical testing and validation
• Grounding and bonding
• Manufacturing troubleshooting and electrical non-conformances

Experience 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 systems
• Fabricated steel assemblies
• Welded connections
• Structural interfaces and tolerances
• Fabrication drawings
• Fit-up and dimensional issues
• Structural modifications and engineering dispositions
• Weld quality and manufacturing constraints
• Design for fabrication and assembly

Experience 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 systems
• PLC-based automation
• Instrumentation and sensors
• Control panels
• I/O systems
• Controls architecture
• System integration
• Functional testing
• Troubleshooting during manufacturing and commissioning
• Controls-related design changes and configuration management

Experience 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 manufacturing
• Modular manufacturing
• Data-center infrastructure
• Heavy industrial manufacturing
• Structural steel fabrication
• Electrical equipment manufacturing
• HVAC or cooling systems
• Controls and automation
• Industrial construction
• First-article builds
• New product introduction
• Greenfield manufacturing facilities
• Production ramps
• Design for Manufacturing and Assembly
• Engineering change control
• High-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.
