Partners cross-functionally to improve safety, quality, productivity, labor efficiency, and operational scalability.

Manage execution for assigned cold plate customer accounts from design handoff through production, delivery, deployment, and acceptance. Translate customer launch schedules into internal milestone plans, coordinate cross-functional teams, track risks and actions, drive issue resolution, and maintain customer communication and status reporting to ensure on-time delivery and high customer satisfaction.

Own on-site manufacturing process execution and performance: optimize workflows, apply Lean methods, document work instructions, run PFMEA, support NPI and production ramp, design/validate fixtures, troubleshoot equipment, and ensure alignment with global AME and ISO quality standards.

Plan, create, and execute verification and validation tests for data center liquid cooling hardware and software. Develop test plans, test cases, and automation (including Python), debug hardware/software interactions, build test network environments, document issues, and report status to leads. Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure products meet requirements.

Develop and maintain validation automation and test infrastructure for Linux-based thermal and datacenter control systems. Build Python and C/C++ components, embedded device integration, protocol validation (Modbus, Redfish, SNMP, MQTT, CANbus), CI/CD and container tooling, and AI-enabled test generation and diagnostics. Define validation strategies, traceability, quality metrics, and documentation while collaborating with stakeholders to improve test automation and system reliability.

Lead plant-level financial planning, forecasting, cost and inventory control, CAPEX management, and financial reporting. Partner with operations to support production ramp-up, maintain SOX/internal controls, support audits, and drive continuous improvement and financial transparency.

Serve as the SME and single point of contact for OEM customers deploying AI workloads; advise on AI-ready data center and edge infrastructure (liquid cooling, power, racks, airflow); drive technical sales conversations with CIOs/CTOs and partners; enable and train channel and OEM partners; provide market intelligence and competitive positioning to influence product strategy.

Manage MRP forecasts, inventory, and planning parameters for components across US and Mexico plants. Set ABC classifications, safety stock, reorder points, MIN/MAX and Kanban levels; maintain ERP material master and planning bill accuracy; analyze inventory discrepancies; identify E&O material; coordinate part allocations to optimize inventory, service, and total cost of ownership.
