Applications Engineering Manager

StageRight – Events Division
Clare, Michigan (Onsite)

Build something extraordinary-on a massive scale.

From telescopic seating systems to complex staging solutions in arenas and performance spaces, our work combines precision engineering with real-world impact.

We’re looking for an Applications Engineering Manager to lead and grow our Events-side team while collaborating closely with our StageRight Performance engineering group.

  • Oversee creation of proposals, layouts, costing, and technical documentation
  • Partner with Sales, Dealers, and Customers to interpret RFQs and design optimal solutions
  • Act as a key technical resource during pre-sale and early project phases
  • Ensure all designs meet customer requirements, internal standards, and applicable codes
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering, Manufacturing, Project Management, and Installation teams
  • Manage schedules and resources to deliver projects on time
  • Drive process improvements, automation, and efficiency enhancements
  • Support continuous improvement in tools, workflows, and customer experience

A Unique Opportunity to Learn & Lead

  • You’ll lead Applications Engineering for the Events division
  • You’ll play a key role in shaping the structure, processes, and future of this growing functio

What You Bring

Required:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Structural Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 5+ years of people management experience
  • Strong experience with 3D CAD (Autodesk Inventor preferred)
  • Experience working in a manufacturing or engineered-to-order environment
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced setting
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

Preferred:

  • Experience with custom, large-scale engineered products
  • Familiarity with staging, structural systems, or similar industries
  • ERP system experience

Additional Details

  • Location: Clare, MI (onsite role)
  • Travel: Approximately 10%
  • Hands-on involvement in shop/lab environments, including occasional lifting

Why StageRight?

  • Work on highly customized, large-scale engineering projects
  • Collaborate with experienced, long-tenured industry experts
