Description
Who are we?
XNRGY Climate Solutions is a leading North American provider of sustainable design and state-of-the-art manufacturing of custom air handling and liquid cooling systems. The company is experiencing hypergrowth and will grow 2-3x in each of the next several years as it becomes a billion dollar plus company. XNRGY recently completed an over subscribed B round of funding that will enable its expansion (a round lead by a Blackrock company)
With decades of experience in thermal management solutions engineering and manufacturing, XNRGY is uniquely qualified to deliver innovative and energy-efficient solutions that meet the specific needs of a wide range of industries, including hyperscale and modular data centers, healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical labs, semiconductor clean rooms, EV battery manufacturers and life sciences facilities.
Opportunity - Director, Engineering Excellence
The successful candidate will be part of a team that is in the process of expanding a dynamic company which is in the process of disrupting one of the most exciting underlying markets in the last 50 years and that is the infrastructure needed for the expansion of AI.
This role leads a critical function in raising the technical bar across the engineering organization. As XNRGY scales the development and delivery of mission-critical air handling and liquid cooling products – including the XnChiller platform, the growth engine of the company – product reliability, design quality, and engineering discipline become direct drivers of revenue, margin, and client trust. The Engineering Excellence Director will build the standards, methodologies, and capabilities that allow the fast-growing industrial manufacturing company in North America to scale – a company that will exceed one billion in revenue faster than Tesla was able to achieve that milestone.
Position Overview
The Engineering Excellence Director is responsible for driving technical excellence, engineering best practices, product reliability, and continuous improvement across the engineering organization. The role develops and implements engineering standards, methodologies, tools, and governance processes that improve product quality, reliability, manufacturability, and engineering efficiency.
The position serves as the Company’s center of excellence for Engineering Processes, Reliability Engineering, Six Sigma Methodologies, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Design Verification, and Continuous Improvement. This is both a strategic and hands-on role: the successful candidate will set the engineering quality agenda, coach and develop engineering teams across the Mesa, Arizona and Saint-Hubert, Québec operations, and ensure that simulation, testing, and field performance tell one consistent story about every product XNRGY ships.
