## About the role

This leader will manage two functions — Manufacturing Engineering and Quality — and will be a critical voice in building the operational credibility our customers need to trust us with mission-critical infrastructure. This role reports to the COO and works in close partnership with our internal design engineering team and our Cable Manufacturing team (a peer function producing cable assemblies in-house, which does not report into this role but is a close collaborator).

## What they're looking for

- Directly manage the Sr. Manufacturing Engineer – Termination Assemblies and the Manufacturing Engineer – LIN System, and grow the team as volume scales
- Drive Design for Manufacturability/Assembly (DFM/DFA) across both product lines in full partnership with our internal design engineering team, optimizing for lead time, cost, and quality
- Own the fabricator and contract manufacturer relationships for both product lines — sourcing, qualifying, and managing partners, and acting as a ruthless advocate for our cost, quality, and schedule requirements
- Bring in outside technical experts as needed (e.g., cryogenics, welding/pressure vessel, high-power termination, controls integration) to close capability gaps and de-risk critical design and process decisions
- Own the manufacturing readiness roadmap: successful pilot builds in 2027, transitioning to a production-ready design and supply base that can support live data center deployments in 2028
- Build a scaling plan (supplier capacity commitments, second-source strategies, tooling/fixturing investment) so the organization can flex production up quickly if order volume accelerates
