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 USD
What 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
Training – We will equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to succeed
