Fabrication/Manufacturing Engineer - Data Centers

Our client is a fast-growing data center and power infrastructure company building out large-scale facilities across Texas. To keep pace with demand, they're expanding their engineering team and looking for a Fabrication & Manufacturing Engineer who can design, optimize, and scale the production of critical infrastructure components.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who wants to move beyond theory and see their work deployed in real, mission-critical facilities.

What You'll Do

• Develop and optimize fabrication and manufacturing processes for data center and power infrastructure components, such as enclosures, racks, skids, busway, and modular systems
• Create and review fabrication drawings, BOMs, work instructions, and technical specifications
• Support design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) with engineering and design teams
• Work with internal shops and external fabricators to ensure quality, cost, and schedule targets are met
• Evaluate and qualify vendors, materials, and manufacturing methods
• Implement quality control procedures, inspection criteria, and testing protocols
• Troubleshoot production issues and drive root cause analysis and corrective action
• Identify opportunities to standardize, reduce lead times, and improve cost efficiency
• Collaborate with field operations and construction teams to ensure products integrate smoothly on-site
• Maintain documentation to support compliance, safety, and traceability requirements

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
• 3+ years of experience in fabrication, manufacturing, or production engineering
• Strong knowledge of metal fabrication processes, including welding, machining, sheet metal, and assembly
• Proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar) and ability to read and interpret technical drawings
• Experience with GD&T, tolerance analysis, and quality standards
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing, continuous improvement, or Six Sigma principles
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work cross-functionally
• Comfortable splitting time between the office, fabrication shop, and job sites

Nice to Have

• Experience in data center, electrical equipment, or power infrastructure manufacturing
• Familiarity with switchgear, transformers, PDUs, or modular/prefab power systems
• Knowledge of UL, NEC, NEMA, or ISO standards
• Experience with ERP or PLM systems
• Background in prefabrication or modular construction
• Welding or fabrication certifications (AWS) or Six Sigma Green Belt
