• Identify problems early and develop practical engineering solutions
• Work closely with internal project management, sales, and engineering teams

What We’re Looking For

• 5–7+ years of engineering experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment

• Advanced/Expert AutoCAD skills
• Strong customer-facing and vendor communication experience
• Ability to manage multiple projects and shifting priorities
• Strong problem-solving skills with a practical, solutions-oriented approach
