Gradian is an engineering-led, full-line thermal solutions partner serving data center and other mission-critical, commercial, and industrial markets. Headquartered in Maple Grove, MN, with additional facilities across North America, we design and manufacture liquid cooling systems, air handling equipment, heat rejection units, and modular, factory-assembled thermal management solutions.

Gradian was founded through the unification of four complementary, established brands: MAS HVAC, Daedex, DeepCoolAI, and Eco Chillers. Together, we act as a single-source provider, deploying cooling technologies as scalable systems optimized for efficiency, spatial constraints, and overall performance. With a vertically integrated engineering and manufacturing model, we pair rapid design turnaround with precision fabrication, so customers can move faster on complex projects where reliability, timeline, and quality all matter.

At Gradian, you'll work alongside others who get genuinely fired up by complex problems, see your work go from first sketch to job site in weeks, not years, and know that while we're developing the technologies critical for AI infrastructure to scale, our culture remains people-first by design.

It is core to our identity that we operate as one team — driving to win together, energizing others, and building lasting relationships that make the work fun and rewarding.

The SIOP Analyst plays a critical role in driving alignment between sales, operations, and finance within a commercial HVAC manufacturing environment. This role is responsible for developing accurate demand forecasts, translating commercial signals into executable supply plans, and supporting the Sales, Inventory, and Operations Planning (SIOP) cycle to ensure optimal customer service, inventory health, and capacity utilization.

The ideal candidate understands the complexities of engineered‑to‑order and make‑to‑stock HVAC products, long lead times, seasonal demand patterns, and the interaction between new construction, replacement, and aftermarket demand.

• Develop, maintain, and analyze monthly and weekly demand forecasts for commercial HVAC products, including chillers, rooftop units, air handlers, controls, and aftermarket components.
• Incorporate sales pipeline data, project backlogs, historical trends, seasonality, and market intelligence into demand planning assumptions.
• Partner with Sales, Marketing, and Product Management to review forecast changes related to large projects, bid activity, and regional demand shifts.

• Translate approved demand plans into supply, production, and capacity plans across manufacturing plants and external suppliers.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing, Engineering, and Procurement to identify capacity constraints, labor limitations, and material risks (e.g., compressors, coils, electronics).
• Support scenario modeling for capacity trade‑offs, overtime, outsourcing, and inventory positioning.

• Monitor finished goods, WIP, and critical component inventory to balance service levels, working capital, and obsolescence risk.
• Analyze inventory drivers such as seasonality, factory lead times, and product transitions (new introductions and end‑of‑life models).
• Support safety stock and SKU rationalization initiatives.

• Prepare materials for monthly SIOP meetings, including demand/supply variance analysis, risks, and recommended actions.
• Track adherence to the agreed‑upon SIOP plan and highlight gaps between plan vs. actual performance.
