Job description
Join us at the forefront of electrified industrial energy. We’re looking for a Manufacturing Engineering Manager to scale production of next-generation commercial and industrial thermal systems, including unfired boilers and steam-generating heat pumps.
In this role, you’ll drive manufacturability, cost, quality, and delivery performance for complex equipment—leading initiatives across DFMA, production ramp, industrial engineering, and supplier integration. You’ll be a key leader shaping how cutting-edge thermal systems move from design to high-volume production.
What You’ll Do
Lead & Scale Manufacturing
Build and lead a high-performing manufacturing engineering team
Define and execute manufacturing strategies aligned to growth and electrification
Partner cross-functionally with R&D, Product, Supply Chain, and Operations
Drive Product Industrialization (DFMA)
Lead DFMA for boilers, steam systems, and heat pumps
Optimize designs for fabrication, assembly, and serviceability
Oversee pilot builds, validation, and manufacturing readiness
Enable Production Ramp
Design efficient layouts and production lines for large-scale equipment
Implement lean principles (flow, line balancing, cycle time reduction)
Develop capacity models, labor standards, and capital plans
Stand up and optimize test systems (pressure, thermal, performance)
Own Supplier Technical Strategy
Act as the engineering lead for critical suppliers (heat exchangers, coils, pressure vessels, compressors)
Drive supplier quality and manufacturability (PPAP/APQP, audits, DFMA alignment)
Resolve technical challenges for build-to-print components
Build World-Class Processes
Standardize processes (welding, brazing, leak testing, refrigerant handling)
Lead Lean / Six Sigma improvements across yield, throughput, and cost
Establish robust documentation, work instructions, and training systems
Ensure Quality, Compliance & Safety
Maintain compliance with ASME, UL/ETL/CSA, and HVAC standards
Partner with Quality on root cause and corrective actions
Champion safe practices for high-pressure, high-temperature, and refrigerant systems
What You Bring
Required
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or related engineering field
10+ years in manufacturing engineering (thermal systems, HVAC, boilers, or industrial equipment)
3–5+ years leading engineering teams
Technical Strengths
Deep DFMA experience for thermal/fluid systems
Expertise in fabrication processes (welding, brazing, machining, forming)
Experience scaling from pilot to full production
Strong knowledge of heat transfer, pressure systems, and electro-mechanical assembly
Nice to Have
ASME pressure vessel manufacturing experience
Background in boilers, steam systems, or industrial heat pumps
Six Sigma certification (Green/Black Belt)
ERP/MRP and manufacturing analytics familiarity
Who You Are
Hands-on leader with strong technical judgment
Execution-focused and results-driven
Collaborative across functions and suppliers
Skilled at scaling operations in fast-growing environments
Committed to quality, reliability, and ownership
Why Join Us
Shape the future of electrified thermal systems
Work on critical infrastructure driving industrial decarbonization
Lead manufacturing innovation in a rapidly growing space
Strong growth opportunity
