About the job:
We’re looking for an NPI Engineer to lead the charge on customer-driven prototype and RTM (real-time manufacturing) projects. You'll own the full cycle—from quoting and design reviews to final delivery—ensuring everything flows smoothly and exceeds expectations.

  • Has a BS in Mechanical Engineering or a related field

  • Brings at least 2 years of experience in design and machining

  • Knows their way around GD&T, SPC, and SolidWorks

  • Is analytical, organized, and comfortable leading customer-facing project communication

  • Has experience with dimensional analysis and configuration control (a plus)

  • Communicates clearly—both verbally and in technical writing

  • Can juggle multiple tasks while maintaining attention to detail

 

What you'll do:

  • Quote and manage customer NPI/RTM projects from start to shipment

  • Lead design reviews and coordinate with internal teams and stakeholders

  • Track and report performance metrics and project status updates

  • Design fixtures, tooling, and setup documentation

  • Conduct root cause analysis and apply lessons learned

  • Manage non-conformances, customer notifications, and first article inspections

  • Ensure production handoff with complete work instructions and compliance documentation
