Job Description

Job Description

The Opportunity

If you've worked with metal injection molded or powder metal components, this role puts that design experience in front of customers and new programs, not just existing parts.

You would join the Advanced Technology Engineering Team at a manufacturer that is investing in both people and equipment to expand its metal injection molding business. Your work centers on new products, applications, and markets: reviewing customer components, recommending design changes so they can be made with MIM, and leading the technical conversation from quote through launch.

Base pay runs $100,000-$130,000 with a 10% bonus, and relocation is paid.

• Growth in the MIM business. The company is investing in people and equipment to expand its metal injection molding capability.
• Front-end influence. You help shape new products, applications, and markets rather than sustaining existing ones.
• Technical ownership across the launch. You lead APQP through Gate 1, participate through Gate 5, and lead manufacturing and delivery of engineering and prototype samples.
• Customer-facing technical role. You lead engineering discussions with customers and represent their needs to internal teams.
• Compensation and relocation. $100,000-$130,000 base, 10% bonus, and paid relocation for candidates from anywhere in the country.

• Build engineering quotations for new products, including raw material requirements, operation steps and rates, outside operations, tooling, fixtures, gauging, and capital requirements
• Recommend design changes to customer components so they can be manufactured with MIM, including marked prints and modifications to CAD solid model files
• Lead the manufacture and delivery of engineering and prototype samples
• Lead technical and engineering discussions with customers, and represent the customer's needs with internal teams
• Lead the APQP team through Gate 1 and participate through Gate 5
• Support the Commercial Sales Team on revenue growth and the Product Launch Team on production approval and introducing new products into manufacturing

• Design experience with metal injection molded or powder metal components, in any application
• CAD design skills, including working with solid model files
• Customer-facing technical experience
• Familiarity with APQP
• Background as an Applications, Product, R&D, Design, or Project Engineer. Titles vary, and the experience matters more than the label.
