What You'll Do
As a Product Engineer II, you'll take custom customer requests and translate them into buildable engineering solutions, then hand production everything they need to make it real. You sit at the intersection of sales, estimating and the shop floor, serving as the technical backbone for your assigned product group within our architectural glass, glazing and metals business.
This isn't ground-up product design; our designs are already established. It's the sharper, more entrepreneurial work of configuring, adapting and problem-solving what exists to fit what the customer actually needs, within what the plant can actually build. If you like being the person people come to with "is this possible?", this is your role.
Job responsibilities include:
- Own the full process for your assigned Product Group, end to end
- Serve as the technical consultant to estimating on custom or out-of-standard quotes; when something falls outside normal system limitations, you determine what's viable and how to make it work
- Equip production with everything needed to build: BOMs, methods of manufacture and custom engineering drawings
- When a request isn't viable as-is, give feedback and recommend a path that works; you're a problem-solver, not a gatekeeper
- Participate in Product Development projects, helping bulletproof processes from sales quote through production floor
- Manage quote program preparation
- Own corrective actions and ECNs tied to your Product Group
- Represent your area in Cross-Functional Team (CFT) meetings on manufacturing issues
- Help build out Green Road Documents (SWIs, PFDs, Control Plans and more)
- Develop tools that connect systems, think Excel talking to our ERP, or automating a manual step, using light programming/scripting knowledge (iLogic, Excel, ERP configurators)
- Build deep product knowledge and become a go-to technical resource for Manufacturing, Planning, Sales, Procurement and Quality
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering
- 3+ years of experience in product design or development within a manufacturing environment
- Proficiency in 3D modeling/CAD (Inventor, SolidWorks)
- Working knowledge of programming logic and automation concepts (no developer background required)
- Comfort working across multiple ERP systems
- A collaborative, resourceful mindset and sharp problem-solving instincts
