Job summary

Greystone of Lincoln, Inc. in Lincoln, RI, seeks an Engineering Manager to lead the plant's engineering function across process and manufacturing engineering, with deep Hydromat rotary transfer and CNC platform expertise.

The role owns technical direction, new work qualification, and process improvement while supporting Operations, Quality, Purchasing, and Maintenance daily. The ideal candidate will manage a team, set standards, and participate in capital planning and customer-facing technical

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
7+ years of engineering experience in precision machining or high-volume manufacturing, including 2+ years in a supervisory or leadership capacity.
Deep working knowledge of CNC and rotary transfer machining processes; Hydromat or comparable rotary transfer experience strongly preferred.
Strong command of GD&T, process capability analysis (SPC, Cpk/Ppk), and root cause / corrective action methodology (8D, FMEA, 5-why).
Experience leading new part introduction, PPAP, and customer qualification processes.
Proven ability to lead and develop an engineering team, set priorities across competing programs, and manage a budget.
Proficiency with CAD software (SolidWorks or similar) and ERP/MES systems.
Comfortable working directly on the shop floor as well as in customer-facing technical discussions.

Responsibilities

Lead, develop, and prioritize the workload of the process and manufacturing engineering team across all active programs and part numbers.
Own new part introduction (NPI): quoting support, process planning, tooling and fixture strategy, first-article inspection, and PPAP/customer qualification for new work.
Drive continuous improvement of existing processes — cycle time, yield, scrap, and process capability (Cpk/Ppk) — across Hydromat rotary transfer, CNC, and secondary operations.
Partner with Maintenance on equipment reliability and capital equipment strategy, including servo/CNC retrofit and automation investments.
Partner with Quality Engineering on root cause analysis, corrective action, and closing the loop between process control and inspection/gauging strategy.
Partner with Purchasing on tooling, material, and outside-service specifications that affect process capability and cost.
Own the engineering change process — drawing/process revisions, deviation requests, and documentation control within the ERP/MES system.
Represent engineering in customer technical reviews, program launches, and audits (including quality and, where applicable, CMMC/ITAR‑related reviews).
Develop and manage the engineering department's capital and tooling budget, and build the business case for equipment and automation investment.
Set and maintain engineering standards, documentation practices, and training for the process/manufacturing engineering team.
Support and mentor engineers moving through cross‑functional development (e.g., process engineers rotating from Purchasing, Quality Engineering, or Automated Inspection roles) toward Manufacturing Engineer or future leadership positions.
