Position Summary The Manufacturing Engineer – HVAC (P3) is a fully proficient engineering professional responsible for designing, implementing, optimizing, and sustaining manufacturing processes related to HVAC systems and thermal management products. Responsibilities Lead process development and validation for HVAC manufacturing lines, including brazing, refrigeration systems assembly, leak testing, charging, electrical integration, and final system validation testing. Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on safety, quality, delivery, and cost (SQDC). Analyze and optimize manufacturing cycle times, labor efficiency, and line balancing. Support NPI (New Product Introduction) activities, including process design, PFMEA, control plans, tooling requirements, and work instructions. Identify and implement automation or semi-automation opportunities to improve productivity and consistency. Provide technical troubleshooting support for complex HVAC system manufacturing issues (refrigeration performance, airflow optimization, heat transfer efficiency, etc.). Ensure compliance with applicable HVAC regulatory standards (UL, CSA, AHRI, ASHRAE, EPA, and other regional requirements as applicable). Collaborate with Design Engineering to ensure manufacturability (DFM/DFA) of new products. Lead root cause analysis (RCA) and corrective actions related to product or process deviations. Support capital expenditure projects, including equipment specification, layout design, FAT/SAT validation, and commissioning. Mentor junior engineers (P1/P2) and provide technical guidance when required. Scope & Impact Operates independently on complex technical assignments. Applies advanced knowledge of HVAC systems and manufacturing engineering principles. Impacts line-level performance, cost structure, and product quality. May lead projects or workstreams but does not have direct people management responsibility. Influences cross-functional stakeholders through technical expertise. Qualifications Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field. Master’s degree preferred (optional). Experience 5–8+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering. Strong experience in HVAC or refrigeration systems manufacturing. Experience with high-mix / medium-volume or industrial HVAC production environments preferred. Technical Competencies Deep understanding of: Refrigeration cycles and thermodynamics Heat exchangers and airflow systems Brazing and refrigeration piping processes Leak detection and refrigerant charging systems PFMEA, Control Plans, SPC, Lean Manufacturing Six Sigma methodologies (Green Belt preferred) CAD systems and manufacturing documentation tools Industrialization of HVAC assemblies Regulatory compliance in HVAC manufacturing Behavioral Competencies Strong analytical and problem-solving skills Structured decision-making capability Effective cross-functional communication Results-driven mindset Continuous improvement orientation Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment Performance Indicators Manufacturing yield improvement Scrap and rework reduction Cycle time and labor efficiency improvement On-time NPI launch support Equipment uptime and process stability Cost reduction initiatives delivered Work Authorization & Equal Opportunity No calls or agencies please.
