Project Engineer

Nashville, TN

Job ID 10564

Company Description

A well-established and highly respected manufacturer within the automotive supply chain is continuing to invest in its people, processes, and production capabilities.

Operating within a precision-driven environment, this organization has built its reputation on engineering excellence, product quality, and continuous improvement. With a strong footprint across North America and a commitment to modernizing manufacturing operations, the business offers a stable yet forward-looking platform for engineers who want to make a tangible impact on the shop floor.

This is an environment where ideas are not only welcomed, they are implemented.

Compensation

A competitive compensation package is offered, reflective of experience and technical capability.

Base salary aligned with market expectations
Performance-based incentives
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
Retirement savings program with employer participation
Paid vacation and holidays

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on Project Engineering role with real influence over how things are built, improved, and scaled.

You will take ownership of capital projects and manufacturing enhancements from concept through to implementation. That includes everything from evaluating new equipment and processes to refining existing production methods for better performance, efficiency, and quality.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being on the floor as much as they do behind a screen. You will work closely with production teams, tool rooms, vendors, and leadership to bring ideas to life and ensure they perform in real-world conditions.

If you are motivated by seeing your engineering work physically operating in a production environment, this is where that happens.

Position Description

Lead capital equipment and process improvement projects from initial concept through installation and production readiness
Develop technical specifications, request and evaluate vendor proposals, and manage project timelines and budgets
Design, modify, and improve production equipment, tooling, and mechanical systems
Support manufacturing operations with troubleshooting across mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems
Contribute to die casting and injection molding processes, including tooling and process optimization
Create and revise engineering drawings using CAD tools
Perform engineering calculations to validate design decisions and ensure performance standards are met
Participate in installation, testing, and commissioning of new or upgraded equipment
Develop procedures, work instructions, and training materials to support production teams
Conduct inspections and validation of prototypes, tooling, and machine components
Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on reducing scrap, improving quality, and increasing efficiency
Collaborate with vendors, internal teams, and leadership to implement new technologies and processes
Support quality planning activities including FMEA, control plans, and APQP documentation
Travel periodically to support projects, suppliers, or other company locations

Experience

3 to 5+ years of experience in a manufacturing engineering or project engineering role
Prior exposure to automotive or high-volume production environments is considered an asset
Demonstrated experience managing projects involving capital equipment or process improvements
Hands-on involvement with production machinery, tooling, and troubleshooting

Qualifications

Strong mechanical aptitude with the ability to diagnose and resolve equipment and process issues
Working knowledge of injection molding and/or die casting operations
Experience with CAD systems such as AutoCAD or similar platforms
Familiarity with hydraulic, pneumatic, and basic control systems including PLCs and HMIs
Understanding of quality systems and methodologies such as FMEA, control plans, and APQP
Comfortable working cross-functionally with production, maintenance, and leadership teams
Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly

Education

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
