Base Salary: $100,000 to $125,000 plus 15% annual bonus

We are conducting a confidential search for a Senior Processing Engineer, Cold Forming for a growing manufacturing organization with a strong automotive component focus. The company is experiencing significant growth and offers an excellent compensation and benefits package, including a 15% annual bonus, exceptional medical, dental, and vision coverage, and an outstanding retirement benefit.

This is a high-impact engineering role supporting critical process engineering projects, tooling design, and manufacturing process improvements, with a major emphasis on cold forming. This position can be based in either a Western Chicagoland manufacturing plant or a Western Detroit manufacturing plant.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead process engineering projects tied to cold forming operations
  • Drive tooling and manufacturing process improvements across multiple facilities
  • Provide technical leadership for cold forming processes, including manufacturing standards, capability analysis, and process development
  • Support product launches by ensuring process capability and production capacity are aligned with customer requirements
  • Manage capital equipment projects from concept through runoff and start-up
  • Assess existing equipment for capacity, performance, and improvement opportunities
  • 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

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial Engineering, or a related field
  • 10+ years of manufacturing engineering experience in a metal forming environment
  • Must have cold forming experience
  • Strong experience working with older National Machinery cold forming machines
  • Background in metal forming tool design
  • Automotive manufacturing experience is preferred
  • Strong problem-solving skills with an analytical approach such as DMAIC or 8D
  • Ability to communicate effectively across all levels of the organization

Technical Skills Preferred

Experience with some combination of:

  • Microsoft Project and Excel
  • AutoCAD, Pro E, SolidWorks, CATIA, Deform, or similar CAE tools
  • Minitab
  • SPC software
  • SAP

Additional Details

  • Travel up to 20% to 30%, including occasional international travel
  • Flexibility to support a 24-hour manufacturing operation when needed

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. They need someone who understands cold forming at a practical level and can bring real expertise with legacy National Machinery equipment. Not someone who just admires machines from across the parking lot.
