Step into a role where your diesel fuel injection knowledge directly shapes product performance for a Tier 1 automotive supplier. Surrounded by a collaborative engineering team, you will own the technical support lifecycle for port fuel injection products, driving root cause investigations and process improvements that keep production lines moving. With a base salary up to $125,000 and a guaranteed bonus, this position rewards both your skill and your commitment.

In this role, every day brings a fresh challenge. You will diagnose production test failures, lead corrective action teams, and redesign remanufacturing processes for common rail injectors. Your documentation will set the standard for quality, and your voice in recurring engineering meetings will guide critical decisions. The work you do ensures that high-performance vehicles reach customers without a hitch.

The engineer who thrives here is one who loves getting into the details. You have at least five years of hands-on experience with diesel injector design and validation, and you can explain a root cause analysis as clearly to a supplier as you can to a test engineer. You don't wait for direction—you find the problem, propose a fix, and follow through until it's resolved.

A Bachelor's degree in engineering is just the starting point; your true badge is a portfolio of solved production issues.

This is more than a job; it's a chance to become the go-to expert for a product line that hundreds of thousands of drivers rely on. The company will relocate you to Greenville, a growing automotive hub with a lower cost of living and outdoor appeal. If you have the diesel injector background they're looking for, apply today to start a confidential conversation—your next career move could be the one that defines your expertise.
