The Maintenance Engineer position serves as a technical resource to both skilled trades and production departments. This position participates in a cross-functional team to resolve highly technical equipment failures. Maintenance Engineers also work closely with equipment OEMs to develop machine upgrades, maintenance plans and other critical aspects related to the manufacturing of Detroit Engines and Axles. This position is to support tasks needed to provide continuous operation of Detroit Axles production operations. Operations to include but not limited to: Gearset machining, NFD assembly, HDT assembly, Adv. 6x4 assembly, M1 Fronts assembly and Drop Press/Drop Line assembly.

  • Knowledge of fastening software, including experience with automatic torque wrenches, nut runners, and related equipment.
  • Experience with pressing software specifically Kistler and Promes's presses and a solid understanding of press methodology in a plant environment.
  • Candidates must have a minimum of 5 years of plant experience working in a production environment with exposure to CNC equipment and it s helpful if they have experience working with UAW staff as well. Experience troubleshooting break-fix issues including root cause analysis, quarterbacking issue resolution, pulling machine prints, navigating assembly diagrams, identifying spare parts, and supporting the repair and rebuild process is essential.
  • Electrical or mechatronics experience is beneficial, as the role involves working across mechanical and electrical systems. Candidates should be comfortable working within Siemens platforms and Siemens NX tools. Proficiency in AutoCAD is helpful. Familiarity with Maximo or a comparable CMMS tool is preferred but not required, as this is the platform used to manage the preventive maintenance plan.
  • Above all, candidates must demonstrate the confidence and technical depth to enter ambiguous situations, identify root causes, and drive resolution independently.

Manager Notes:
This is an afternoon shift role (2:00 PM 10:00 PM), which may appeal to candidates who prefer that schedule. For the right candidate, strong performance may lead to a direct hire opportunity. This role is well-suited to someone who enjoys hands-on, independent problem-solving in a dynamic plant environment rather than a traditional desk-based role. No two days are the same, and the position offers broad exposure to a variety of people, systems, and challenges.

This role is approximately 85% plant floor and 15% office-based, with office time dedicated to email correspondence and reporting. The engineer will work alongside a team that includes a manager, controls engineers, fellow maintenance engineers, and skilled trades maintenance team members, all supporting Detroit Axle machining lines. No remote work is available, though strong performance may create the opportunity for a direct hire conversion.
