Job Description

Job Description

Start Your Next Chapter in Engineering

Picture your first week: you’re walking the production floor, reviewing a new customer print, and sketching a path to turn a clever idea into a manufacturable part. By afternoon, you’re coordinating a prototype build, syncing with suppliers, and updating a launch plan so our customer hits their deadline. That’s the rhythm of New Product Introduction here—hands-on, cross-functional, and customer-facing.

Day-in-the-Life

Each day blends technical analysis with project leadership. You’ll translate requirements into action, align engineering and manufacturing, and keep stakeholders moving in lockstep. When a question pops up from a customer or a quality concern surfaces, you’ll dig in, find root causes, and help implement durable fixes—keeping timelines and budgets intact.

What You'll Tackle

• Interpret customer drawings and specifications to determine manufacturing feasibility.
• Guide prototype development and support related manufacturing and procurement activities.
• Coordinate APQP deliverables and steer new product launches to a successful start.
• Work directly with customers to clarify and achieve product requirements.
• Assist with project planning, schedule tracking, budget oversight, and milestone management.
• Partner with engineering, manufacturing, quality, and suppliers to maintain project momentum.
• Provide technical support for new products and production processes.
• Help resolve customer quality issues and contribute to corrective actions.
• Maintain action lists, surface risks early, and drive teams to hit deadlines.

Why You'll Love It Here

• Hands-on access to state-of-the-art equipment.
• Real opportunities to expand your skillset and grow your career.
• A family-oriented culture that values teamwork and integrity.
• Stable, full-time role with 25+ years of continuous company growth.
• Fun employee events all year—company picnics; baseball, football, and soccer outings; and team activities.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance with a generous company contribution.
• Company-paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance.
• 401(k) with a generous company match.
• Paid vacation and sick time.
• Paid holidays.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering.
• Strong organization and project coordination abilities.
• Comfort managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced setting.
• Clear, confident communication and strong interpersonal skills.
• Self-starter who works well independently and on a team.
• A bias for action, urgency, and results.
