• Serve as the primary engineering contact between clients and subcontractors, addressing all technical matters related to product design, application, and function. This includes conducting fastener application studies, utilizing various tools and materials, and generating detailed technical reports. You'll be the go-to expert for guiding both sales and clients through intricate technical requirements.
• Partner with commercial teams and clients to identify opportunities for cost reductions through proactive VA/VE (Value Analysis/Value Engineering) proposals, including on-site assessments at manufacturing facilities.
• Cultivate strong relationships with client engineering teams to foster early involvement in new projects and ensure seamless collaboration.
• Provide essential technical support for new product development initiatives and successful product launches.
• Conduct engaging technical training sessions for our commercial staff to enhance their product knowledge and technical understanding.

• Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, particularly when dealing with complex, non-standard engineering challenges.
• Proven ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously and prioritize effectively.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Proficiency in blueprint reading, including GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing), and hands-on experience with common fastener inspection tools (e.g., calipers, micrometers, thread gages).
• Strong computer skills, including proficiency with PC operating systems and engineering software, especially CAD and other 2D/3D construction techniques.
• Willingness and ability to travel as needed to support client and supplier engagements.
