Design more than products. Design how they’re built.
At KUNZ, Mechanical Design Engineers help develop both the modular systems behind hyperscale data centers and the processes used to assemble and deploy them.
You’ll work across product design, production planning, manufacturing, and construction to solve engineering challenges that do not stop at the drawing. Your work will directly influence how physical infrastructure is laid out, assembled, installed, and improved in the field.
If you want to see your engineering work translate directly into how complex infrastructure gets built, this is the role.
The Opportunity
As a Mechanical Design Engineer focused on Production Design, you’ll develop parametric facility layouts, analyze production capacity, simulate assembly sequences, and create repeatable production processes for modular data center programs.
You’ll work alongside senior engineers and collaborate with product teams, trade partners, vendors, and construction teams across multiple regions and configurations.
This is an opportunity to help solve first-of-a-kind engineering challenges while gaining exposure to the full product and production lifecycle, from early design through field verification.
What You’ll Do
Develop 2D layouts and parametric models for modular integration facilities, including bay sizing, material staging, platform space, and production capacity.
- Analyze production rates and work with trade partners to improve 5S layouts, material flow, equipment usage, and staging strategies.
- Simulate, evaluate, and optimize assembly methods and installation sequences to improve constructability, repeatability, and crew capacity.
- Develop Product Maps, Product Production Plans, and Process Maps for first-of-a-kind products and production processes.
- Support the concurrent design of products and the processes used to manufacture, assemble, and install them.
Spend time at construction sites verifying assembly logic, refining designs, and bringing field lessons back into future product and process improvements.
You’ll Be Successful Here If
You have a degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
- You have hands-on experience with SolidWorks, including parametric and assembly modeling.
- You are familiar with Revit or BIM environments.
- You understand manufacturing principles such as DFMA, 5S, assembly sequencing, and material flow.
- You enjoy working across design, engineering, construction, and vendor teams.
- You are willing to travel to construction sites for field verification.
You are self-directed, take ownership of your work, and can manage priorities and deliverables without constant oversight.
Experience That Will Help You Succeed
Production simulation tools
- Modular construction or prefabrication
- Lean manufacturing
- Production planning or process mapping
- Bill of Materials management
- Data centers, mission-critical infrastructure, or large-scale industrial programs
Hands-on experience at large construction or manufacturing sites
What You’ll Find at KUNZ
Opportunities to work on first-of-a-kind products and processes
- Direct exposure to design, production, construction, and field execution
- Mentorship from senior engineers working on global-scale programs
- Technical training, professional development, and licensure support
- Annual bonus opportunity
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) with company match
Paid time off and company holidays

Production Engineer Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a production engineer in Colorado?
Start with a bachelor's degree in mechanical, industrial, manufacturing, or a related engineering discipline from an accredited program. Production engineering in Colorado does not require a state-issued professional license for most manufacturing and industrial roles, though engineers who offer services directly to the public may pursue licensure through the Colorado State Board of Licensure for Architects, Professional Engineers, and Professional Land Surveyors. Employers in aerospace and defense additionally value AS9100 or Six Sigma credentials.
Which companies hire production engineers in Colorado?
Employers hiring production engineers in Colorado right now include KUNZ, Meta, and eBay, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Colorado's aerospace corridor along the Front Range and its active oil and gas sector mean that large defense contractors, energy companies, and electronics manufacturers are consistently among the most active recruiters for this role.
Which Colorado cities have the most production engineer jobs?
Denver, Longmont, and Colorado have the most production engineer openings in Colorado. Denver anchors the market as the state's largest metro with a broad industrial base, Colorado Springs is driven by its dense concentration of aerospace and defense contractors, and Boulder draws openings through its technology manufacturing and instrumentation firms, making each city's demand reflect the dominant industries operating there.
Are there remote production engineer jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're rare. Production engineering is fundamentally a hands-on, floor-level role tied to physical equipment, processes, and manufacturing lines, so most positions require on-site presence. About 50% of production engineer openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to cover process documentation, supplier quality audits, or technical program support rather than direct production floor work.
How can I get hired as a production engineer in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a manufacturing or process engineering internship or co-op, which large Colorado employers like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon Technologies offer through structured early-career programs. Targeting titles such as manufacturing technician, quality technician, or process associate gives candidates a foothold on the production floor before stepping into an engineering role. Completing a Six Sigma Yellow Belt or earning an EIT designation through the Colorado Board of Licensure strengthens a resume significantly for new graduates.
Where can I find and apply to production engineer jobs in Colorado?
