You will serve as a technical expert on various manufacturing projects, introducing new technologies and establishing sustainable processes for long-term production. Your mission will be to ensure profitability, efficiency, adaptability, responsiveness, and high quality across all products and processes through continuous improvement initiatives.

• ◆Develop and implement pressure testing procedures for liquid cooling assemblies to validate system integrity, ensure leak prevention, and maintain compliance with industry standards and customer quality specifications.
• ◆This role is operationally focused, working closely with leads within Test Engineering and Quality Engineering to drive process test optimization, improvement and execution to plan.
• ◆Improve manufacturability, reduce cycle times, and enhance reliability of liquid cooling assemblies.
• ◆Develop and implement leak testing processes for liquid cooling assemblies to ensure system integrity, reliability, and compliance with quality and safety standards, while identifying and addressing root causes of potential leaks.
• ◆Implement and optimize cooling and fluid handling processes to improve efficiency, reliability, safety, and sustainability.
• ◆Drive efficiencies in current technical systems. Manage the development of new technical systems.
• ◆Identify and resolve bottlenecks or inefficiencies in production and liquid-cooling workflows to maximize throughput and quality.
• ◆Support Business Development through assessing the needs of potential customers in conjunction with the Engineering Manager and Engineering Leads.
• ◆Design, configure, and monitor process performance during both manufacturing and operational phases, ensuring processes run within specified parameters.
• ◆Develop and maintain detailed process documentation, including work instructions, flow charts, and control plans for all critical processes.
• ◆Implement process improvements to reduce energy consumption, minimize fluid waste, and lower operational costs while maintaining quality standards.
• ◆Monitor key process parameters (pressure, temperature, flow rate, glycol concentration, etc.) to ensure compliance with operational thresholds and promptly address deviations.
• ◆Analyze process data to identify trends, predict failures, and support preventive maintenance strategies for equipment and systems.
• ◆Develop and manage a comprehensive maintenance plan for all process-related equipment and assets, ensuring high uptime and reliability.
• ◆Collaborate with Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) teams to develop and enforce Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for safety, leak mitigation, waste disposal, and fluid handling.
• ◆Conduct Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) analyses and risk assessments for all process steps to identify potential failure modes and quality improvement opportunities.
• ◆Own the full lifecycle of process equipment, including selection, commissioning, monitoring performance, troubleshooting issues, and coordinating servicing or upgrades as needed.
• ◆Support the commissioning and validation of new cooling systems and upgrades, ensuring they meet design specifications and integrate smoothly into production.
• ◆Work closely with cross-functional teams (manufacturing, design, quality, and maintenance) and utilize data-driven insights to drive continuous process improvements and implement changes that enhance overall production performance.
