At Paragon, you're a name, not a number. We're small enough that your work is seen and your voice is heard, and big enough to invest in the equipment, people, and strategy that keeps us growing. With roots going back to 1977, and an average employee tenure of over 13 years, our people don’t just join Paragon. They stay, grow, and build careers here, and every team member plays a real part in the organization’s growth and success.

The Manufacturing Engineer turns what a customer needs into what our production floor builds. You will convert customer drawings, sketches, physical samples, and templates into accurate CAD drawings, production prints, and CNC programs. Those programs run the machines that cut, grind, and drill each glass part to specification.

You will guide new parts from prototypes to full production, set up part information in our ERP system, and train machine operators on new or changed processes. You will also play an active role in our ISO 9001 quality system, including document control, corrective action, and internal audits. This role sits at our Niles, Michigan location and supports both the Antwerp, OH and Niles, MI plants.

• Work with Sales and customers to develop new glass shapes and parts, from prototype through production launch, and advise on what can be manufactured reliably.
• Reverse-engineer customer-supplied sample parts and physical templates to capture CAD data and introduce new parts or product lines at both plants.

• Create, revise, and control detailed 2D and 3D part and assembly drawings in CAD from customer drawings, sketches, and written or verbal instructions.
• Prepare and release the production prints both plants use to manufacture each part.
• Write, test, and debug CNC programs for the glass cutting tables, edge grinding machines, drilling machines, and CNC machining centers on the production floor.
• Design and maintain physical product templates used for Production and Maintenance.
• Train and mentor machine operators on new programs, processes, and changes.
• Develop and maintain drafting standards and procedures.

• Enter and maintain part and engineering information in our ERP system (Infor Visual) for both plants.

• Support our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system and continuous improvement efforts.
• Prepare and control quality documents and maintain the index of Standard Operating Procedures.
• Serve on the Corrective Action Team, help investigate problems, and maintain corrective action logs.
