Industrial Engineer III - Liquid Cooling Server Racks

JOB SUMMARY

Senior Industrial Engineer III to develop and implement efficient production methods and process controls for new and existing assembly operations. In this hands‑on role, you will monitor assembly processes, troubleshoot issues, and drive quality improvements. You will serve as a technical expert on manufacturing projects, introduce new technologies and establish sustainable processes for long‑term production. Your mission is 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.
• 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.
• Identify and resolve bottlenecks or inefficiencies in production and liquid‑cooling workflows to maximize throughput and quality.
• 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.

• Education:
  
  Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience:
  
  Minimum 5 years of experience in an engineering discipline within a fast‑paced manufacturing environment. Equivalent combinations of education, training, and relevant experience may be considered.
• Proven experience in a manufacturing setting working with liquid‑cooled technology, ideally involving computer/server hardware or data center cooling systems.
• Proficiency with process control systems, instrumentation, and various sensor technologies used in monitoring and automation.
• Demonstrated experience with DMAIC methodology, root cause analysis, and other continuous improvement tools/methodologies (Kaizen, 5‑Why, FMEA).
• Excellent analytical skills, with strong communication and technical writing abilities for documenting processes and reporting…
