Manufacturing Process Engineer (HVAC)

TL;DR

Manufacturing Process Engineer (HVAC): Developing and sustaining safe, repeatable final assembly processes for advanced liquid cooling systems with an accent on Lean manufacturing, process ownership, and quality integration. Focus on scaling production, solving shop-floor bottlenecks, improving takt time and ergonomics, and implementing structured root-cause and continuous-improvement methods.

Location: Onsite in Fort Worth, Texas, United States; significant time in the manufacturing and production environment is required, with occasional domestic travel of up to approximately 20%.
