Mechanical Design Engineer - Production Design

Design more than products. Design how they’re built.

At KUNZ, Mechanical Design Engineers help develop both the modular systems behind hyperscale data centers and the processes used to assemble and deploy them.

You’ll work across product design, production planning, manufacturing, and construction to solve engineering challenges that do not stop at the drawing. Your work will directly influence how physical infrastructure is laid out, assembled, installed, and improved in the field.

If you want to see your engineering work translate directly into how complex infrastructure gets built, this is the role.

As a Mechanical Design Engineer focused on Production Design, you’ll develop parametric facility layouts, analyze production capacity, simulate assembly sequences, and create repeatable production processes for modular data center programs.

You’ll work alongside senior engineers and collaborate with product teams, trade partners, vendors, and construction teams across multiple regions and configurations.

This is an opportunity to help solve first-of-a-kind engineering challenges while gaining exposure to the full product and production lifecycle, from early design through field verification.

• Develop 2D layouts and parametric models for modular integration facilities, including bay sizing, material staging, platform space, and production capacity.
• Analyze production rates and work with trade partners to improve 5S layouts, material flow, equipment usage, and staging strategies.
• Simulate, evaluate, and optimize assembly methods and installation sequences to improve constructability, repeatability, and crew capacity.
• Develop Product Maps, Product Production Plans, and Process Maps for first‑of‑a‑kind products and production processes.
• Support the concurrent design of products and the processes used to manufacture, assemble, and install them.
• Spend time at construction sites verifying assembly logic, refining designs, and bringing field lessons back into future product and process improvements.

• You have a degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• You have hands‑on experience with Solid Works, including parametric and assembly modeling.
• You are familiar with Revit or BIM environments.
• You understand manufacturing principles such as DFMA, 5S, assembly sequencing, and material flow.
• You enjoy working across design, engineering, construction, and vendor teams.
• You are willing to travel to construction sites for field verification.
• You are self‑directed, take ownership of your work, and can manage priorities and deliverables without constant oversight.

• Production simulation tools
• Modular construction or prefabrication
• Lean manufacturing
• Production planning or process mapping
• Bill of Materials management
• Data centers, mission‑critical infrastructure, or large‑scale industrial programs
• Hands‑on experience at large construction or manufacturing sites

• Opportunities to work on first‑of‑a‑kind products and processes
• Direct exposure to design, production, construction, and field execution
• Mentorship from senior engineers working on global‑scale programs
• Technical training, professional development, and licensure support
• Annual bonus opportunity
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and company holidays
