Who are we?
XNRGY Climate Solutions is a leading North American provider of sustainable design and state-of-the-art manufacturing of custom air handling and liquid cooling systems. The company is experiencing hypergrowth and will grow 2-3x in each of the next several years as it becomes a billion dollar plus company. XNRGY recently completed an over subscribed B round of funding that will enable its expansion (a round lead by a Blackrock company). With decades of experience in thermal management solutions engineering and manufacturing, XNRGY is uniquely qualified to deliver innovative and energy-efficient solutions that meet the specific needs of a wide range of industries, including hyperscale and modular data centers, healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical labs, semiconductor clean rooms, EV battery manufacturers and life sciences facilities.
Role Purpose
Own the improvement and scalability of manufacturing processes for complex ETO/CTO HVAC products by leading technical projects that improve safety, quality, productivity, capacity, and cost. The Manufacturing Engineer designs and implements manufacturing solutions, including tooling, fixtures, equipment, and process improvements, to enable operational excellence.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead technical manufacturing projects from opportunity identification through implementation, including tooling, jigs, fixtures, equipment, workstations, and process improvements.
- Design and implement manufacturing solutions that improve assembly efficiency, ergonomics, quality, and production capacity.
- Optimize and sustain manufacturing processes by improving cycle times, reducing process variation, eliminating bottlenecks, and increasing production performance.
- Analyze manufacturing constraints and capacity requirements to identify improvement opportunities and support business growth.
- Develop manufacturing concepts and specifications for tooling, fixtures, equipment, and automation solutions in collaboration with internal teams and external suppliers.
- Manage project execution including scope definition, timelines, budgets, technical requirements, supplier coordination, installation, validation, and production handover.
- Support product and process changes by assessing manufacturing impacts and implementing improvements to maintain production performance.
- Develop and maintain manufacturing standards including process documentation, work instructions, PFMEAs, control plans, and ERP/MES data.
- Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions to resolve production issues and improve process capability.
- Partner with Operations, Quality, Engineering, Industrialization, and Supply Chain teams to deliver sustainable manufacturing improvements.
Role Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related discipline.
- 5+ years of experience in Manufacturing Engineering within complex manufacturing environments such as HVAC, automotive, aerospace, industrial equipment, or similar industries.
- Proven experience leading technical projects involving tooling, fixtures, jigs, equipment, layouts, or process improvements.
- Strong knowledge of assembly processes, manufacturing methods, tooling design, fabrication processes, and production optimization.
- Experience managing projects from concept through implementation, including supplier coordination, commissioning, and production validation.
- Experience with Lean Manufacturing, PFMEA, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement methodologies.
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings, BOMs, and 3D CAD models and translate requirements into manufacturable solutions.
- Experience with ERP/MES systems and manufacturing documentation is an asset.
