    Protomet Corporation

    Senior mechanical engineer job in Loudon, TN

    DESIGN ENGINEERING SCORECARD FUNCTION: Design engineers are the bridge between our customers (typically boating industry OEMs) and operations. They must have strong mechanical aptitude and intimate knowledge of manufacturing processes. Additionally, they greatly benefit from interpersonal skills and aesthetic design skills. Interpersonally, our designers are uniquely positioned to function in a sales capacity with customers. We encourage the building of relationships with key customers and frequent engagement. Furthermore, transitioning designs to the operations team is a highly interactive process requiring skills in change management, communication, and logistics. Competencies in aesthetic design are an excellent add-on for design engineers. The ability to deliver sketched concepts, computer generated renderings, and aesthetically engaging designs to customers is a big value-add. OUTCOMES: Visit customers' or host them for a tour (with approval) at least 6 times a year Call on at least one customer weekly, and talk about something specifically non-work related Attend one industry Expo or Conference every year. Win and design two million dollars worth of recurring annual projects each year Find one 2 second improvement (fix what bugs you) every day and share with the rest of the engineering team via photo or video. Identify, purchase and implement one significant piece of technology, software, hardware, or equipment per year Engage in continuing education for CAD (or other) software Innovate manufacturability and advocate for internal customers during the design and prototype phases of new projects. Diagnose quality issues and design processes to prevent repeat occurrences Ensure work instructions (video or text) are in place for new projects Respond to all communication from external customers within 4 work hours Qualifications COMPETENCIES: Cultural Fulfillment at work most often occurs when personal values align with those of the organization. Protomet associates it's collective character with the following traits: Second Mile The first mile is mandatory. The second mile is voluntary; we do it for our own growth. Outsized benefits are realized in the second mile. Don't Touch the Marshmallow The strength to reject short term gratification in favor of a larger reward later. We err towards celebrating later, not sooner. Abundance Mindset Life is not a zero-sum game. We strive to reject scarcity mindsets and instead “grow the pie”. Example - does a new “A” player on your team pose a threat (scarcity) or an opportunity to grow as a team? Skills Beat Credentials What you can do is all that matters. Credentials alone won't get you anywhere at Protomet. That's Hard…Good Growth happens the most in the face of challenges. We recognize it is difficult to grin as you are being tested, but it's possible, and we're getting better at it. Functional High Standards: Expects personal and team performance to be nothing short of the best Influence: Able to build trust with others who are not direct reports and persuade them to take action. Humility: Low focus on self, confidence to admit mistakes, listens to others and an accurate (not over- or underestimated) sense of accomplishments and worth High mechanical aptitude and relentless problem-solver Hatred for inefficiencies and waste, practical understanding of lean manufacturing principles, one piece flow, minimum viable product, pareto principle Initiative to start, discipline to finish Innovation: Practical intelligence, curiosity, and an aptitude for learning combined with the spirit of testing and change that leads to innovation Values and respects people as a servant leader
