Technical Project Manager – Mechanical Systems, Thermal Solutions & Manufacturing

We are seeking a highly motivated Technical Project Manager to lead the development and industrialization of advanced mechanical and thermal hardware solutions for AI servers, data center infrastructure, HPC, and next-generation computing platforms. This role serves as the primary interface between engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, and customers to drive programs from concept through NPI, qualification, and mass production.
The ideal candidate combines strong technical expertise in mechanical systems, thermal solutions, and manufacturing processes with exceptional communication and problem-solving skills. This role requires the ability to lead cross-functional teams, manage technical risks, optimize manufacturing processes, and deliver high-quality products on schedule.

Responsibilities

  • Lead cross-functional hardware development programs from concept, NPI, validation, qualification, and mass production.
  • Manage project schedules, milestones, risks, dependencies, and deliverables while aligning engineering, manufacturing, quality, sourcing, suppliers, and customers.
  • Drive development and industrialization of mechanical and thermal components via processes such as machining, molding, stamping, forging, casting, and liquid cooling assemblies.
  • Support thermal system integration involving cold plates, manifolds, pumps, vapor chambers, heat pipes, and related cooling solutions for AI servers and data center applications.
  • Drive DFM/DFA, GD&T, tolerance analysis, DOE, FMEA, reliability validation, and manufacturing optimization activities.
  • Lead prototype builds, manufacturing readiness reviews, production ramp, and sustaining engineering activities.
  • Resolve technical and manufacturing issues through root cause analysis, data analysis, corrective actions, and continuous improvement.
  • Evaluate new materials, manufacturing processes, and technologies to improve product performance, quality, reliability, and cost.
