Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a Crankshaft Execution Engineer in Flint, MI. This opportunity is focused on supporting a next-generation engine program and taking ownership of a crankshaft machining line as it moves through the critical phases of production launch and ramp-up. The role is heavily execution-focused and ideal for an engineer who enjoys solving problems on the plant floor, driving issues to resolution, and ensuring manufacturing processes are stable, efficient, and capable of producing high-quality parts. You would be responsible for helping prepare the machining line for sustained production by supporting process validation, production readiness, quality initiatives, and launch activities. Much of the work centers around balancing production targets with process stability and part quality while collaborating with manufacturing, quality, tooling, and operations teams. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys hands‑on manufacturing environments, troubleshooting complex production challenges, and making a direct impact on a high‑visibility program during one of its most important phases. The role offers significant exposure to launch activities, process optimization, and cross‑functional collaboration while helping drive a successful transition into full‑scale production.
