This is an in-person role in a beautiful vacation destination of Michigan along Lake Huron! Relocation assistance is not available.
The ideal candidate is a degreed mechanical engineer who possesses a unique blend of high-level computer-aided design (CAD) skills and practical, floor-level manufacturing experience. You will bridge the gap between complex engineering concepts and smooth shop-floor execution, specifically troubleshooting design-to-production issues (addressing "Equipment Exceeds Operator's Capabilities"). If you can program and design complex parts but are not afraid to get your hands dirty on a lathe or talk shop with operators, this role is for you!
Responsibilities:
- Run the daily operations of the engineering department and provide strategic leadership to the manufacturing team.
- Utilize CAD/CAM software to design parts and program manufacturing processes.
- Work directly with specialized, user-friendly hydraulic manifold software to design circuits and optimize manifold layouts.
- Act as the technical expert on the floor, ensuring that engineering designs are practical, manufacturable, and aligned with the physical capabilities of the machine operators and equipment.
- Guide junior engineering staff, instilling practical manufacturing sensibilities into their design workflows (e.g., proper cross-drilling and understanding hydraulic flow).
Skills:
- A collaborative leader who can work closely with the executive team and effectively manage shop-floor staff.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.
- Practical, hands-on experience in a machine shop environment is highly preferred (e.g., personal experience operating a lathe or similar equipment).
- Expertise in CAD/CAM software. Experience with hydraulic circuit/manifold design software is a major plus.
- Solid understanding of hydraulics, fluid power, and mechanical backgrounds.
