• Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve complex manufacturing and process-related issues, providing technical leadership and hands-on support to ensure stable and efficient production.
• Collaborate with suppliers and external partners on tooling, equipment, and process development to ensure designs, fabrication, and implementation meet technical specifications, quality standards, and project timelines.
• Mentor, coach, and support engineers and technicians, fostering technical excellence, knowledge sharing, and continuous professional development across the team.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in Process Engineering, Tooling Engineering, or Manufacturing Engineering, with demonstrated expertise in sheet metal fabrication, liquid cooling products, sealing solutions, plastic components, and metal forming processes.
• Strong knowledge of manufacturing technologies, production equipment, and process development methodologies, with proven analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively work across cross-functional teams and drive alignment among stakeholders.
• Experience in project management, new product introduction, or manufacturing process implementation is highly desirable.
• Self-motivated, proactive, and results-oriented, with a continuous improvement mindset and a passion for driving operational excellence.

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with liquid cooling systems, including cold plates, pumps, quick-connect fittings, tubing assemblies, manifolds, and related thermal management solutions.
• Deep expertise in sealing technologies, including material selection, sealing system design, leakage prevention, and reliability validation.
• Strong understanding of fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and material compatibility, with the ability to apply engineering principles to optimize mechanical and thermal system performance.
• Proven experience in high-volume manufacturing environments, with a solid understanding of DFM, DFT, and process scalability considerations.
• In-depth knowledge of materials used in liquid cooling applications, including aging characteristics, thermal resistance, chemical compatibility, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability.
• Passion for engineering innovation and product development, with a track record of creating new solutions, improving existing products, and addressing unmet industry needs.
• Experience collaborating within global organizations and cross-functional teams, effectively working with engineering, operations, quality, supply chain, and external partners.
• Demonstrated ability to identify opportunities, challenge conventional approaches, and proactively drive process improvements that enhance quality, efficiency, and operational performance.
• Strong ownership mindset with the ability to lead initiatives from concept through implementation and deliver measurable business impact.
