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

Experience with high-volume cold heading, progressive forming, or precision machining.
Knowledge of steels, alloys, heat treatment, and surface coatings.
Experience working with global suppliers or international manufacturing plants.
Six Sigma Green Belt or equivalent.
