WHAT YOU’LL DO
A day in the life of this Engineering Manager starts with a quick stand up meeting to confirm your team is aligned on the tasks to be performed that day. After making sure your team has what they need to perform, you'll head out to the shop floor to make sure the new laser welding robot installation is going to plan. On the way back to the engineering office, one of our technicians ask you for help interpreting a work instruction for a polymer printer, and you'll walk them through the procedure and tell them where to find even more background info in our training modules. Back at your desk, you return to find your Slack blowing up. Your boss needs you to write a short document on the performance and cost trades between three different heat treat strategies for cast parts, to be included in our upcoming customer proposal. You look down and it's only mid-morning. You're excited for the day ahead.
