Manufacturing Engineer; Brazing

Vertiv is seeking a technically strong Manufacturing Engineer to join our STL Austin manufacturing team. This role will have a strong focus on brazing, thermal processes, metal joining, process development, and production support.

The ideal candidate has hands‑on experience developing, troubleshooting, and improving manufacturing processes involving brazing, metallurgy, soldering, heat treatment, thermal processing, heat exchangers, or similar metal‑joining and thermal technologies. Brazing experience is highly preferred, but not required. We are open to engineers with a strong technical background in metallurgy or related joining and thermal processes who can apply that knowledge to brazing and Vertiv's thermal‑management products.

This position serves as the on‑site manufacturing engineering owner for process execution and performance at the STL facility. You will work closely with Production, Quality, Design Engineering, Advanced Manufacturing Engineering, and suppliers to develop robust processes, troubleshoot manufacturing issues, improve product quality, and support new product introduction and production ramp.

Brazing & Thermal Process Engineering

Develop, optimize, troubleshoot, and sustain brazing and other thermal manufacturing processes.

Establish and optimize process parameters including temperature, time, atmosphere, materials, joint design, fixturing, and other critical process variables.

Investigate brazing and joining defects, determine root causes, and implement corrective and preventive actions.

Evaluate joint quality, process capability, repeatability, and long‑term process stability.

Work with metals, filler material to ensure manufacturing processes produce consistent and reliable results.

Support development and qualification of new brazing and thermal processes, equipment, fixtures, and tooling.

Partner with Quality and Engineering to establish appropriate inspection, testing, and process‑control methods.

Troubleshoot production issues directly on the manufacturing floor and develop sustainable solutions.

Manufacturing Process Development

Develop, implement, and continuously improve manufacturing processes for new and existing products.

Support new product introduction (NPI), production ramp, process validation, and manufacturing readiness.

Develop standard work, work instructions, process documentation, and manufacturing specifications.

Design and improve fixtures and tooling used to support brazing, assembly, testing, and production.

Partner with Design Engineering on Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and process improvements.

Conduct and maintain PFMEAs, control plans, process documentation, and other manufacturing quality tools.

Analyze manufacturing data to identify opportunities to improve yield, cycle time, scrap, quality, and process capability.

Production Support & Continuous Improvement

Provide hands‑on engineering support to production and troubleshoot manufacturing problems in real time.

Work directly with operators and production leadership to identify and eliminate process issues.

Use Lean and continuous improvement methodologies to improve safety, quality, delivery, and cost.

Support automation, equipment, tooling, and process improvements where applicable.

Monitor manufacturing performance and drive corrective actions when processes are not meeting expectations.

Ensure manufacturing processes comply with Vertiv quality systems and applicable engineering and manufacturing standards.

Cross‑Functional & Global Collaboration

Work closely with Production, Quality, Design Engineering, Advanced Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, and suppliers.

Support implementation of standardized manufacturing processes and technologies.
