Right now, we are looking to bolster our team with an individual who can join our Engineering department and help to drive strategic growth within our industry.

Types of things you'll be doing:

As a Process Engineer, you'll need to learn the intricacies of our unique approach to low volume manufacturing and how that integrates with our customer's needs. You will play a key role in developing manufacturing processes for new products and assisting in continuous process improvement for legacy products. In addition to developing processes, you will likely become involved with our estimating process.

Our customer's demand quick turn for estimates and we must remain agile and cross-trained to meet their needs.

When not performing the above functions, you will work with our production teams to make any necessary changes to improve the manufacturing process to be more efficient and cost effective. We are constantly onboarding new parts and assemblies and you will play a critical role in making sure the processes are developed in a way that ensures profitability and that we can delight our customers with lead-time.

If you're an impatient person or are motivated by quick fixes, then you should look elsewhere.

A strong background and working knowledge of all MS Office products along with experience using an ERP software as well as CAD software should help to ensure success! This position may have you traveling a couple of times a year to customer facilities, thus willingness to travel is a must!

You will perform offline CNC programming for punch presses and fiber lasers using CAD/CAM software, which will be a significant part of your role. This includes flat pattern development, nesting, tooling selection, hit optimization, and revision control to support high-mix, low-volume production. Proficiency with CAD/CAM software is required, as these systems are fundamental to controlling cost, lead time, and shop-floor efficiency.

Types of things you won't be doing:

You won't be working half days and you won't have your feet up on the desk with the chair kicked back primarily because our safety manager won't let you! We also don't do design work so don't get your hopes up on doing that. But you will enjoy working with all of your teammates and eating donuts on Fridays!

How we define success in this role:

You should take pride in "getting the job done." It is easily noticed when someone has a modus operandi of action with results. You'll be successful if you are able to get your work completed on time and work closely with your teammates to make sure everything is completed. Attitude is everything. Nothing will cause you to fail in this role faster than a poor attitude.

What we'd like from you:

This is a role that will allow us to go several directions. Ideally, we'd prefer that you have a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering with 3+ years in a Process Engineering capacity. If you have experience utilizing Offline CNC Programming for punch presses, fiber lasers, and press brakes using CAD/CAM software, that is some definite bonus points. We will consider new grads as well!

No degree? Real world experience with proven results works fine, too. If you really want to impress us and jump to the front of the line, then the bulk of your experience should be in manufacturing.

What you'll get in return:

If you are one of the individuals that ultimately ends up filling one of these positions, then we'll compensate you with competitive pay. We also provide a full suite of medical, dental, and vision insurances. Several supplemental policies are available as well. You can participate in our 401k with 4% match. We also offer a gain sharing program where you can earn up to a 15% bonus if the company achieves its annual financial goals.

You'll automatically get a $25,000 company-funded life insurance policy as well. We pay for you to stay home on 8 holidays (9 if you're a veteran) and have paid time off as well. Should you decide you want to continue your education and it is in a…
