    • Produce AutoCAD conveyor layouts to meet customer JPH requirements.
    • Track project requirements pre- and post-award.
    • Work with project manager on-site as required; attend meetings and perform field checks.
    • Assist project manager and superintendent with quoting additional work requirements.
    • Maintain an updated task list for ongoing projects and those handled by your team.
    • Provide chain pulls on CP Plus with drive balancing and drive dropout capability as per customer requirements.
    • Supply FMEA and FEA documentation to external sources as needed.
    • Stay updated with customer specifications and revisions.
    • Train and monitor less experienced engineers and selected engineering sub-contractors.
    • Offer start-up assistance to project manager and superintendent.

    Education and Experience Requirements:

    • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering with 5+ years of automotive conveyor design experience, or non-degreed with 5+ years of experience.
    • Proficiency in AutoCAD Inventor, with a preference for experience in larger scale, automotive conveyor projects.
    • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills.
    • Excellent communication skills and proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel.
    • Ability to prioritize and execute tasks in high-pressure environments, identifying scope changes and creating detailed change order requests.

    Work Environment:

    • Flexible hybrid schedule with the opportunity to work from home.
    • Occasional overtime, including potential for 5-10 hours per week and weekend or late-night work.
    • Mileage reimbursement for business miles.
