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

What You Bring

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

Position Pay Range $80,000—$95,000 USDWhat OBE Offers You

Benefits that benefit you – industry competitive benefits at the lowest cost to the employee

Work-life balance – PTO and holidays, including floating holidays you can choose

Compensation that rewards your hard work – A pay-for-performance culture with potential for annual raises and bonuses
