Join a Family-Oriented Manufacturing Team:

We are partnering with a family-oriented manufacturing company to help them add a Mechanical Engineer to their growing engineering team. This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who wants to work in a collaborative, hands-on environment where you'll have direct exposure to manufacturing, production, and engineering.

If you're looking to build a broad engineering skill set while working alongside experienced professionals who enjoy mentoring and developing their team, this role offers an outstanding opportunity for long-term career growth.

Why Consider This Opportunity?
  • Join a stable, family-oriented manufacturer with more than 70 years of success serving a diverse customer base.
  • Work on a wide variety of custom projects across industries including aerospace, medical, industrial, defense, and automotive.
  • Gain exposure to every stage of the manufacturing process—from customer drawings and engineering reviews through fabrication, welding, assembly, and production support.
  • Enjoy a highly collaborative engineering environment where you'll work closely with Manufacturing, Quality, Sales, and Production on a daily basis.
  • Build a broad engineering skill set while developing expertise in Design for Manufacturing, manufacturing processes, and continuous improvement.
  • Excellent opportunity to grow into a Senior Mechanical Engineer or Manufacturing Engineer while taking on increasing project ownership and technical responsibility.
What You'll Be Doing:
  • Create and revise 3D CAD models, manufacturing drawings, and engineering documentation.
  • Review customer drawings and designs to ensure they can be efficiently manufactured using metal stamping, fabrication, welding, and assembly processes.
  • Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles to improve manufacturability, quality, and production efficiency.
  • Develop and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs), engineering change documentation, and product records.
  • Collaborate closely with Manufacturing, Production, Tooling, and Quality teams to support new product introductions and ongoing production.
  • Provide engineering support on the manufacturing floor by helping resolve production issues and implementing practical design improvements.
  • Participate in prototype development, first article builds, and engineering validation activities.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on reducing cost, improving quality, and increasing manufacturing efficiency.
  • Communicate directly with customers and internal stakeholders to ensure engineering requirements are successfully translated into production.
What We're Looking For:
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
  • Experience with Solid Works or another 3D CAD platform.
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and manufacturing documentation.
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing processes such as sheet metal fabrication, welding, machining, or metal stamping is highly preferred.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
  • Someone who enjoys collaborating with production, solving manufacturing challenges, and continuously expanding their technical knowledge.
