As a Resident Mechanical Engineer, you'll:
- Provide on-site mechanical engineering support at the Livonia build facility.
- Identify and resolve build-blocking mechanical, assembly, or integration issues in real time.
- Coordinate with WbyT engineers, technicians, and suppliers to triage issues and execute rework.
- Support fit/finish assessments and manage deviation documentation.
- Oversee part updates and local vendor engagement for quick-turn fabrication and validation.
- Document daily build status, open actions, and rework progress using structured reporting templates.
- Provide weekly build summaries and final post-build reports highlighting resolved issues, ongoing risks, and recommendations for process improvement.
- Maintain a consistent on-site presence during build periods (7:00 AM–3:00 PM, with flexibility to align to the build schedule) and remain available remotely during non-build periods for documentation and follow-up.
Requirements
- 5-8 years of relevant hands-on mechanical engineering experience, ideally in prototype or low-volume build environments
- Hands-on mechanical design and build experience with the ability to troubleshoot and resolve integration issues in real time
- Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills; must be able to work directly with technicians, engineers, and suppliers on-site
- Proficiency in interpreting 3D CAD models, drawings, and GD&T, used primarily for validating design intent and guiding assembly adjustments
- Experience coordinating quick-turn fabrication and vendor engagement, with comfort managing small-scope fabrication and rework locally
- Experience in high-volume automotive production is a plus
Benefits:
- PTO and paid holidays!
- Pre-tax commuter benefits
- Employer (HireArt) Subsidized healthcare benefits
- Flexible Spending Account for healthcare-related costs
- HireArt covers all costs for short and long term disability and life insurance
- 401k package
Commitment: This is a full-time, 4-month contract position (with the possibility of extension) staffed via HireArt. This role is onsite and available to candidates local to the Livonia, MI area.
HireArt values diversity and is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. Unfortunately, we are not able to sponsor visas or employ corp-to-corp.
