Description

Job Summary : This position is responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing manufacturing processes specific to the production of various types of coils in an HVAC setting. This role ensures efficient, cost-effective, and high-quality coil manufacturing by improving process capability, ensuring manufacturability of coil designs, and supporting production teams with technical expertise.

Essential Responsibilities : Manufacturing Engineering support of all products and processes.

  • Provide manufacturing engineering support for HVAC coil production across all product lines.
  • Develop, review, and improve workflow design, coil brazing processes, tube expansion, fin stamping, leak testing, and assembly procedures.
  • Implement design-for-manufacturability principles with a focus on coil geometry, material compatibility (copper, aluminum, steel), and coil configuration.
  • Lead process improvements in brazing, automated fin / tube insertion, coil bending, and leak testing operations.
  • Establish, document, and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and quality control procedures tailored to coil production.
  • Manage cross-functional project teams for capacity expansion projects (new fin press lines, brazing automation, leak-test stations).
  • Design and improve factory layout to optimize coil material flow, brazing cell efficiency, and ergonomics.
  • Collaborate with design engineering to improve coil designs for manufacturability, reliability, and cost reduction.
  • Evaluate and recommend new equipment and tooling for fin presses, tube expanders, brazing stations, coil testers, and automated handling systems.
  • Provide technical support to production teams for troubleshooting coil-related defects such as fin damage, tube leaks, and brazing quality issues.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives using Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma methodologies to reduce scrap, improve throughput, and ensure safety.
  • Train operators and technicians on new processes, tools, and equipment related to coil manufacturing.
  • Ensure lessons learned from coil manufacturing challenges are documented and integrated into future process designs.
  • Serve as a subject matter expert for coil production processes, including brazing, refrigerant charging, coil coating, and corrosion prevention methods.
  • Mentor junior engineers and technicians to build coil manufacturing expertise within the organization.

Qualifications

Requirements : Essential :

  • Must have 6+ years' experience as a manufacturing or industrial engineer, with at least 3 years in HVAC or coil production strongly preferred.
  • Must possess a Bachelor's in Science in Engineering, or related field, from accredited educational institution. Education beyond the minimum is an added advantage for career development.
  • Project management experience as a Manufacturing or Industrial Engineer.
  • Proficient with lean manufacturing, 6-Sigma, or other continuous improvement methodologies.

    • Knowledge, skills, and abilities :

    The following is a list of knowledge, skills, and abilities, necessary for fulfilling job functions as a Manufacturing Engineer IV - Coil Production.

  • Strong knowledge of coil manufacturing processes, including brazing, tube expansion, fin stamping, leak testing, and refrigerant system integration.
  • CAD proficiency (preferred : AutoCAD, Inventor, or Solid Edge) for tooling and fixture design.
  • Familiarity with coil-related quality standards (e.g., AHRI, ASHRAE, UL, ISO).
  • Skilled in root cause analysis and problem-solving for coil-specific defects (e.g., tube leaks, braze quality, material handling damage).
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills for cross-functional collaboration.
  • Excellent organizational skills with attention to detail and ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Demonstrated ability to apply innovative thinking to improve coil manufacturing efficiency and quality.

    • Physical requirements and working conditions :

    The following is a list of requirements needed to effectively complete the necessary job functions of the Manufacturing Engineer IV.

  • Work requires frequent exposure to manufacturing facilities with seasonal hot and cold temperatures, dust, and some chemical fume exposure.
  • Ability to stand comfortably for prolonged periods of time, as much as 95% of the workday.
  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds.
    • Create a job alert for this search
