Manufacturing & Tooling Project Engineer

Job Description Summary In this role you will work directly with cross functional teams focused on problem solving, designing, drawing, modeling, and standardizing internal work holding fixtures and lifting devices. The role will require you to communicate with engineers, operators, and team leads with the intent of providing work holding (fixture) solutions to both new product launch components as well as ongoing fixture issues (continuous improvement efforts). The applicant is expected to listen to ideas / problem statements and create work holding solutions with drawings and models as an output. In addition, the applicant is expected to hold design reviews with internal Tool Makers operators to ensure design intent (form, fit, function) are achieved. In addition, over time the role will develop into standardizing efforts focused on establishing and maintaining proper data integrity (file save locations, like-for-like fixtures, file naming conventions, drawing templates, etc).

Success in this role will be defined by your ability to problem solve with engineers and production teams as well as your ability to create drawings and models correctly and in timely manner. This role demands someone with a strong-continuous learning and LEAN mindset who enjoys working in an office environment as well as on a production shop floor alongside machine operators.
