Description

About Us

Advanced Cooling Technologies, Inc. (ACT) is a leading provider of thermal management solutions for aerospace, defense, data centers, energy, and industrial applications. For more than 20 years, ACT has engineeredand manufactured innovative technologies that solve complex thermal challenges in demanding environments. Our team is driven by continuous innovation, teamwork, and collaboration, delivering reliable solutions that support critical missions and next-generation technologies worldwide.

What You'll Do

In this role, you will directly influence how new thermal products move from concept to repeatable, scalable production. You will:



New Product Introduction & Process Development
  • Lead smooth transitions of products from Product Development to Manufacturing
  • Translate engineering designs and customer requirements into robust processes, tooling, and documentation
  • Develop and improve fabrication processes, workflows, and material flow

Tooling, Procedure & Documentation
  • Design and build custom tooling, fixtures, and jigs that enable high-quality manufacturing
  • Create procedures, travelers, and work instructions to ensure consistency and compliance
  • Support technicians and production staff with clear direction and engineering expertise

Production Support & Continuous Improvement
  • Analyze cycle times, floor layouts, and production data to improve throughput and efficiency
  • Troubleshoot manufacturing issues and identify cost, quality, or process improvements
  • Interact directly with suppliers, generating and approving purchase orders as needed
  • Evaluate test results, quality data, and customer requirements to ensure compliance

This is a hands-on role-expect regular interaction with technicians, parts, processes, and equipment. You won't sit behind a desk all day.

Why This Role Is Exciting

Many Manufacturing Engineer roles are repetitive. This one isn't. At ACT, you'll:
  • Work on complex thermal systems used in spacecraft, military vehicles, and cutting-edge commercial applications
  • Design tooling that directly affects product performance
  • Influence manufacturing from the earliest stages of product development
  • See your work move from drawing ? prototype ? full production
  • Be part of a collaborative team where engineering, production, and leadership work closely together

If you enjoy seeing your engineering ideas become real products-and you like a mix of design, analysis, and hands-on problem solving-you'll thrive here.

Requirements

What You Bring
  • B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline
  • Proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks preferred)
  • Experience with mechanical inspection and understanding of GD&T
  • Ability to analyze data, processes, and workflows
  • Strong communication, documentation, and collaboration skills
  • Experience with LabVIEW and Excel-based databases is a plus
  • Must be a U.S. Person as defined by 22 C.F.R. §120.15 (due to ITAR regulations)

  • Low-cost medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Company-paid life and disability insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Profit-sharing bonus plan

  • A culture grounded in innovation, collaborative and supportive teams, and company events and perks that make ACT a genuinely enjoyable place to work!
