Junior Material Flow Engineer

EDAG Inc • Troy, MI

6d • Hybrid

About The Position

The Junior Material Flow Engineer supports the design, documentation, and field verification of material handling equipment and lineside layouts for a greenfield automotive assembly launch. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role — the work is split between CAD layout development, PFEP and equipment database maintenance, and regular site visits to field-check conditions and support installation. The role works under the direction of senior material flow engineers and interfaces with client teams and contractors in the field. It is a strong fit for an early-career engineer who wants real program exposure on a ground-up vehicle launch rather than sustaining work. The position is Michigan-based with consistent on-site travel to Indiana. Candidates local to the Warsaw/Fort Wayne area will also be considered.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial, Mechanical, Manufacturing, or related Engineering discipline
• Direct exposure to automotive manufacturing environments required — co-op, internship, or early professional experience in a plant setting is the baseline; candidates without this will not be considered
• Proficiency in AutoCAD 2D; ability to read and redline construction and equipment drawings
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel for data tracking and documentation
• Ability and willingness to travel to Indiana regularly throughout the program
• No Sponsorship is available at this time

Nice To Haves

• 3D exposure applied where available

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain lineside material layout drawings in AutoCAD 2D; 3D exposure applied where available
• Maintain equipment tracking logs, PFEP inputs, and parts classification documentation in Excel and Access
• Conduct field visits to verify as-built conditions, check equipment placement against design intent, and document discrepancies
• Support installation activities by coordinating with contractors on-site and escalating issues to senior engineers
• Assist in preparing engineering deliverables including RFQ exhibits, equipment cut sheets, and layout packages
