About The Position

Broyhill is seeking a hands-on, mechanically minded engineer who enjoys being on the shop floor as much as working in CAD. This is not a desk-only engineering position. We're looking for someone who can lead prototype tractor builds, solve problems in real time, and work closely with fabrication, assembly, and engineering teams to keep projects moving. The ideal candidate has a strong fabrication and mechanical background, understands how equipment is assembled, and can translate what's happening on the shop floor into accurate Autodesk Inventor models and manufacturing documentation. You will work directly with management to prioritize projects, coordinate with our Inventor drawing team, and ensure everyone has the information they need to keep production on schedule.

Requirements

Strong mechanical aptitude
Fabrication knowledge
Experience with Autodesk Inventor
Enjoy being in the shop, solving problems, and helping a team succeed.
Self-starter who plans ahead
Communicates well
Takes ownership of projects from start to finish

Responsibilities

Lead the mechanical assembly and development of prototype tractors from concept through production.
Work hands-on with fabrication and assembly teams to ensure components fit, function, and are assembled correctly.
Create and update 3D models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings using Autodesk Inventor.
Communicate design changes and field modifications to the CAD/Inventor drawing team to maintain accurate documentation.
Coordinate with engine manufacturers and suppliers to ensure the correct engines and components are matched to each build.
Plan ahead by coordinating parts, materials, and purchased components so they arrive when needed and production isn't delayed.
Work closely with purchasing, inventory, engineering, and manufacturing teams to keep projects moving efficiently.
Identify design improvements and manufacturing efficiencies during prototype builds.
Maintain accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs), assembly documentation, and engineering records.
Help establish and improve assembly processes as new tractor models are developed.
Serve as the on-the-ground technical lead, driving projects forward and ensuring management's priorities are executed on time.
