The Impact You'll Make

Are you a leader who thrives on the factory floor, not behind a desk? As our new Engineering Team Leader, you will be a hands-on coach and mentor, providing the direct, on-the-floor support that empowers our engineers and technicians to solve real-time challenges.

This is a role where your primary focus is on building people. You will be the go-to leader for a talented technical team, guiding their development, prioritizing their work, and fostering a culture of engagement and continuous improvement.

Your leadership will be the critical link between our engineering talent and our operational success. You will have a direct impact on our performance by ensuring your team is aligned, effective, and ready to tackle any issue that comes their way.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Lead, coach, and develop a talented team of engineers and technicians, creating clear goals and providing the regular feedback they need to grow.
  • Be a visible and hands-on leader on the shop floor, providing direct support and responding to escalations to keep operations running smoothly.
  • Champion our core operational priorities of Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Cost, ensuring your team is aligned and effective in their daily work.
  • Drive a culture of continuous improvement, empowering your team to identify and solve problems at the root cause.
  • Build our future talent pipeline by recruiting, mentoring, and developing the interns on your team.

What We're Looking For
  • A Bachelors Degree in a technical field, especially in Engineering, along with experience as a leader or supervisor, preferably in an engineering or manufacturing environment.
  • A passion for coaching, mentoring, and developing people at all levels of an organization.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to work effectively across all departments.
  • A proactive, problem-solving mindset and a strong, visible presence on the shop floor.
  • Familiarity with systems like SAP and Teamcenter is a plus.

What You'll Get From Us
  • We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
  • You’ll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.
  • We strive to create an inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected, and valued for who they are.
  • You’ll receive benefits like annual bonus, paid vacation, 401k matching, personal insurance, and more. These vary by country and contract, but they’re worth asking about—we think they’re pretty great.
