  • Partner closely with plant leadership to execute customer requirements and growth initiatives
  • Lead continuous improvement efforts and troubleshoot cold forming issues during launches and ongoing production

This is an outstanding opportunity for a seasoned cold forming engineer to join a company on the move, make a visible impact, and be well rewarded for it.
