Director of Engineering
Location: Greater Milwaukee Area
Schedule: Full-Time | Onsite
About the Opportunity
A well-established manufacturer is seeking an Director of Engineering to lead a multi-disciplinary engineering team and drive new product development initiatives across a specialized industrial product portfolio.
This is a high-visibility leadership position that will play a critical role in improving engineering execution, developing talent, implementing structure, and helping the organization bring innovative products to market. The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader who can balance strategy, team development, and technical execution.
What You'll Be Doing
- Lead, mentor, and develop a team of mechanical and electrical engineers
- Drive new product development projects from concept through commercialization
- Establish project timelines, milestones, and accountability measures
- Improve engineering processes, project execution, and cross-functional collaboration
- Partner with Sales, Operations, Manufacturing, and Executive Leadership to align priorities
- Serve as a technical resource and coach for the engineering team
- Identify opportunities to improve product development speed and effectiveness
- Manage engineering resources, priorities, and workload planning
- Foster a culture of accountability, innovation, continuous improvement, and teamwork
What We're Looking For
Required Qualifications
- Proven engineering leadership experience within a manufacturing or industrial environment
- Track record of successfully leading new product development initiatives
- Experience managing engineers and developing high-performing teams
- Strong project management and organizational skills
- Ability to implement structure and process within growing or evolving organizations
- Excellent communication and leadership abilities
- Experience with SolidWorks or similar CAD platforms
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline preferred
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience leading cross-functional engineering teams
- Background in industrial equipment, engineered products, manufacturing, or related industries
- Experience improving engineering workflows, product development processes, and team performance
- Ability to balance strategic leadership with hands-on technical involvement
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Highly visible role with direct interaction with executive leadership
- Opportunity to influence engineering strategy and company growth
- Ability to build, develop, and elevate an engineering team
- Ownership of key product development initiatives
- Opportunity to implement new processes, tools, and best practices
- Stable organization with a strong market presence and long-tenured workforce
- Meaningful impact on product innovation, operational excellence, and business performance
Who This Role Fits Best
This opportunity is ideal for an Director of Engineering who enjoys building teams, creating structure, driving accountability, and delivering successful new products. The successful candidate will be a player-coach leader who can effectively guide a team while remaining engaged in the technical and strategic aspects of the business.
If you're looking for an opportunity to lead engineering initiatives, influence organizational direction, and help shape the future of a growing manufacturing organization, we'd love to speak with you about this confidential opportunity.
