Production Design Engineer - Modular Systems & Data Centers

About KUNZ

KUNZ is a global leader in model-based design, engineering, and construction management for complex capital programs. Established in 2015, we've spent a decade building deep expertise across some of the world's most demanding infrastructure sectors - including mission-critical facilities and hyperscale data centers for clients that include the biggest names in Big Tech.

About the role

This isn't a desk engineering role. As a Production Design Engineer at KUNZ, you'll work at the intersection of parametric modeling, assembly simulation, and production planning - on modular data center programs that are redefining how hyperscale facilities get built and deployed globally.
You'll develop parametric facility layouts, simulate and optimize assembly sequences, analyze production rates, and build process maps that drive standardized construction across multiple regions, vendors, and configurations. You'll work alongside senior engineers and go to construction sites to verify and refine assembly logic in the field.
If you want to see your engineering work translate directly into how physical infrastructure gets built - this is that role.

What you'll do

Create 2D layouts of integration facilities across multiple warehouse configurations; iterate with product teams based on feedback
Build parametric models of modular systems, bay sizing, material staging, and platform space to analyze production capacity across multiple locations
Analyze production rates using data and lessons learned from prior builds; work with trade partners to create ideal 5S material layouts per bay
Simulate, analyze, and optimize assembly methods and installation sequences; document findings for product teams
Optimize material flow from docks to bays; evaluate equipment usage and material staging
Develop Product Maps, Product Production Plans, and Process Maps for first of a kind industry products and processes
Support concurrent design of product and process - including visual constructability analysis, repeatability assessment, and crew capacity planning
Visit construction sites to verify, adjust, and confirm assembly logic and documentation

What we're looking for

Degree in mechanical engineering or related field
Hands-on proficiency in SolidWorks - parametric and assembly modeling
Familiarity with Revit or BIM environments
Understanding of manufacturing principles - DFMA, 5S, assembly sequencing, material flow
Comfortable working across design, engineering, construction, and vendor teams
Willing to travel to construction sites for field verification
Detail-oriented and self-directed - you can manage deliverables and timelines without constant oversight

Bonus points for:

Experience with production simulation tools
Background in modular construction, prefabrication, or lean manufacturing
Exposure to production planning, process mapping, or BOM management
Experience in data centers, mission-critical infrastructure, or large-scale industrial programs
Hands-on experience at large-scale or hyper-scale construction sites

What we offer

Competitive compensation
Employer-subsidized healthcare, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) and paid time off
Subsidized relocation to Colorado for qualified candidates
Mentorship from senior engineers on global-scale programs
Technical training, licensure support, and professional development
