Join a growing, employee-focused manufacturing organization with deep roots and a strong reputation for quality. This is a high-impact opportunity to take ownership of a product line, work hands-on with complex drivetrain systems, and collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, and leadership teams.

If you enjoy solving real-world problems, driving continuous improvement, and seeing your work directly impact production and customers—this role offers both visibility and growth.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as the technical lead for a transmission or drivetrain product line
• Own all product-related engineering: functionality, components, materials, assembly/disassembly, and testing
• Support new product launches and variant introductions from concept through production
• Troubleshoot production, design, and test issues; lead root cause analysis and corrective actions
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Manufacturing, Test, Applications, and Sales teams
• Maintain and update technical documentation (BOMs, A-Charts, build documentation, process flows)
• Drive cost reduction, efficiency improvements, and Lean initiatives (Kaizen, 5S, etc.)
• Interface directly with customers to align on scope, timelines, and technical solutions
• Mentor junior engineers and provide day-to-day technical leadership

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 4+ years of Product Engineering experience in automotive or manufacturing environments
• Strong hands-on knowledge of transmissions and drivetrain components (disassembly/reassembly)
• Experience with automotive quality standards and documentation:
• APQP, PFMEA, Control Plans, Process Flows, BOMs
• Familiarity with IATF 16949 and structured product development processes
• Proven ability to troubleshoot issues across production, testing, and design
• Experience supporting or leading new product launches
• Background in Lean manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives
• Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally

Nice to Have:

• Experience with automotive test systems and error-proofing (poka-yoke)
• Exposure to electrical systems, battery testing equipment, or BMS
• Knowledge of EV systems, charging infrastructure, or high-voltage components

Why This Role Stands Out

• High visibility & ownership – lead a full product line end-to-end
• Hands-on engineering – work directly with complex mechanical systems
• Growth environment – rapidly expanding company with strong momentum
• Collaborative culture – team-oriented, supportive, and employee-focused
• Real impact – your work directly influences product quality, cost, and customer satisfaction

Compensation

• Salary Range: $90,000 – $95,000 (flexible up to ~$105,000 based on experience)
