    Engineering Leadership Opportunity — Drive Innovation & Growth

    We are seeking an experienced Engineering Leader to provide both technical direction and administrative leadership for a growing, high-impact engineering team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on solving complex manufacturing challenges, improving processes, and developing strong technical teams.

    What You’ll Do
    • Lead and mentor a team of 7+ engineering professionals, fostering technical growth and accountability.

    • Oversee engineering change activities — including risk assessments, budgets, and program launch milestones.

    • Identify and implement process improvements to boost operational efficiency and product quality.

    • Review and approve engineering records, plant layouts, and design changes.

    • Partner with leadership to shape the engineering roadmap and ensure alignment with strategic business goals.

    • Drive adherence to quality and compliance standards (ISO 9001/IATF 16949).

    • Play a key role in developing policies, mentoring talent, and driving a culture of continuous improvement.

    What You Bring
    • Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Master’s preferred) and 10+ years of progressive experience in manufacturing or industrial environments.

    • Proven ability to lead technical teams and deliver results in fast-paced, complex operations.

    • Solid understanding of CAD software, die operations, robotics, welding, and GD&T.

    • Strong organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills.

    • Knowledge of customer-specific requirements and experience working within quality management systems.

    • Comfortable managing budgets, timelines, and cross-functional initiatives.

    Why This Role Stands Out
    • Strategic impact: You’ll shape engineering direction and play a vital role in plant performance and product success.

    • Hands-on leadership: Balance office-based planning with plant-floor interaction (PPE provided) to stay close to the action.

    • Team development: Coach and grow technical talent while driving innovation and efficiency.

    • Challenging & rewarding environment: Tackle complex problems, launch improvements, and influence the next generation of manufacturing excellence.

    If you’re a solutions-driven engineering leader who enjoys mentoring teams and driving process innovation, this is your chance to make a lasting impact.
