  • Support on-site troubleshooting of production issues at domestic and international manufacturing locations. 

Tooling & Equipment

  • Specify, design, and qualify forming dies, punches, rolls, fixtures, and machining tooling. 
  • Lead on-site die verifications/tests, machine acceptance, and production ramp-ups. 
  • Work directly with OEMs and tool shops to commission new equipment and debug tooling. 
  • Drive tool life improvement and maintenance strategies across multiple facilities.

New Product Introduction (NPI)

  • Support NPI activities across multiple plants, including feasibility reviews and process selection.

  • Implement Lean and Six Sigma methodologies to reduce scrap, variation, and downtime. 
  • Standardize best practices across sites through process documentation and training.

Materials & Supplier Development

  • Partner with material suppliers on wire, bar, heat treatment, and coatings. 
  • Conduct supplier process audits and capability assessments. 
  • Support sourcing decisions and cost-reduction initiatives through technical expertise.

Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Provide hands-on technical support to operations, maintenance, and quality teams. 
  • Train operators and engineers during launches and process changes. 

Act as a technical liaison between plants, suppliers, and corporate engineering.


  • Bachelor’s degree in manufacturing, mechanical, or industrial engineering (or similar disciplines).  
  • 10+ years of experience in machining and/or cold forming environments. 
  • Strong understanding of metal forming physics, machining fundamentals, and tooling. 
  • Proven experience supporting production in multi-site or supplier-facing roles. 
  • Willingness and ability to travel 50%-75%, including extended on-site assignments.

Preferred Qualifications
