Manufacturing Engineering Manager

Overview

Join us at the forefront of electrified industrial energy. We’re looking for a Manufacturing Engineering Manager to scale production of next-generation commercial and industrial thermal systems, including unfired boilers and steam-generating heat pumps. In this role, you’ll drive manufacturability, cost, quality, and delivery performance for complex equipment—leading initiatives across DFMA, production ramp, industrial engineering, and supplier integration. You’ll be a key leader shaping how cutting-edge thermal systems move from design to high-volume production.

• Lead & scale manufacturing:
  Build and lead a high-performing manufacturing engineering team; define and execute manufacturing strategies aligned to growth and electrification; partner cross-functionally with R&D, Product, Supply Chain, and Operations
• Drive Product Industrialization (DFMA):
  Lead DFMA for boilers, steam systems, and heat pumps; optimize designs for fabrication, assembly, and serviceability; oversee pilot builds, validation, and manufacturing readiness
• Enable Production Ramp:
  Design efficient layouts and production lines for large-scale equipment; implement lean principles (flow, line balancing, cycle time reduction); develop capacity models, labor standards, and capital plans; stand up and optimize test systems (pressure, thermal, performance)
• Own Supplier Technical Strategy:
  Act as the engineering lead for critical suppliers (heat exchangers, coils, pressure vessels, compressors); drive supplier quality and manufacturability (PPAP/APQP, audits, DFMA alignment); resolve technical challenges for build-to-print components
• Build World-Class Processes:
  Standardize processes (welding, brazing, leak testing, refrigerant handling); lead Lean / Six Sigma improvements across yield, throughput, and cost; establish robust documentation, work instructions, and training systems
• Ensure Quality, Compliance & Safety:
  Maintain compliance with ASME, UL/ETL/CSA, and HVAC standards; partner with Quality on root cause and corrective actions; champion safe practices for high-pressure, high-temperature, and refrigerant systems

• Required
  :
  Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or related engineering field
• 10+ years in manufacturing engineering (thermal systems, HVAC, boilers, or industrial equipment)
• 3–5+ years leading engineering teams

• Technical Strengths
  :
  Deep DFMA experience for thermal/fluid systems
• Expertise in fabrication processes (welding, brazing, machining, forming)
• Experience scaling from pilot to full production
• Strong knowledge of heat transfer, pressure systems, and electro-mechanical assembly

• Nice to Have
  : ASME pressure vessel manufacturing experience
• Background in boilers, steam systems, or industrial heat pumps
• Six Sigma certification (Green/Black Belt)
• ERP/MRP and manufacturing analytics familiarity

• Hands-on leader with strong technical judgment
• Execution-focused and results-driven
• Collaborative across functions and suppliers
• Skilled at scaling operations in fast-growing environments
• Committed to quality, reliability, and ownership

• Shape the future of electrified thermal systems
• Work on critical infrastructure driving industrial decarbonization
• Lead manufacturing innovation in a rapidly growing space
• Strong growth opportunity

The pay range for this role is: 125, USD per year (Loveland)
