Opportunity Snapshot

This position offers you the unique opportunity to learn new processes for a premier supplier to the defense industry recognized as the only manufacturer of large deep draw steel cartridge cases in the world. We are re-locating our manufacturing facilities from California to the grounds of the Rock Island Arsenal -- the U.S. Army's largest metal manufacturing facility -- which we expect will create opportunities to expand our outstanding relationship with the US Army. That means not only will you work with state of the art equipment, but you also will be involved with development projects in the future.

You will provide manufacturing engineering support for processes, products and machinery, including cold drawing of steel. To be a good fit for this opportunity you will have significant experience in heavy metal manufacturing environments and general knowledge of good machine shop practices (we produce our own tooling). Quick question for you - click here We're looking for a professional with the bandwidth to grasp the theory behind the processes and materials, as well as the practical aptitude to apply that understanding. You also will need an innovative approach to understanding challenges and developing solutions.

For more than 50 years, NI Industries, Inc. (formerly known as Norris Industries) has been regarded as a premier manufacturer for the defense industry, providing the world with an array of high-quality, precision metal components. We are part of TriMas Company, a diversified growth company of high-end, specialty niche businesses manufacturing a variety of products for commercial, industrial, consumer, and defense markets worldwide. Rock Island is part of the Quad Cities area, a vibrant community comprised of four cities in two states straddling the Mississippi River. With modern amenities among historical landmarks and a low cost of living, the Quad Cities area is a great place to live and work.

What Else You'll Bring to the Table

In addition to the qualifications detailed above, you'll need:

 

Preferred but not required: You will work in our current facility in Riverbank, California (near Modesto) until the equipment arrives in Rock Island, and we expect the move will take place in May or June 2010. In addition you will travel up to 10% of the time to visit vendor sites. You must be able to present authorization to reside and work in the United States  to hold this position.

What's in It for You

Professional development -- right off the start  you'll invest time in learning our unique processes, and we have a substantial library of information for you to access. During the transfer you will learn about our new and refurbished equipment directly from the vendors. Once we have the Rock Island facility operational ready, our mandate is to grow our business, so you can look forward to contributing to new products and processes from the date of hire and beyond.

A recognized leader -- NI Industries is a pioneer in the development and production of munitions metal components, and recognized for its innovative technological capability, especially as it relates to the use of deep draw technology. We'll plan, like our Riverbank plant, to have the Rock Island facility  ISO certified for quality and environmental responsibility.

Stability and growth -- while we are backed by nearly 80 years of success and we are the sole provider of certain essential products to the Department of Defense, we are pursuing a proactive strategy to grow our business and offerings. Our diversified parent corporation, $1.02 B in 2008,  TriMas, continues to improve cash flow, profit margins, and other operating strategies in spite of the challenging economy.

The good life in the Midwest -- You'll find a unique combination of amenities in the Quad Cities area:

 

Relocation assistance is available.

Excellent compensation -- in addition to a competitive salary we offer comprehensive benefits.

More About Your Role

If you're a good fit for this position, you already know most of what this job entails. However, to be sure we're providing a complete picture, here are some details.

You will report to the Manufacturing Engineering Manager long term and initially the Program Manager, and join a fairly small group supporting manufacturing processes. These processes include press work, machining, heat treatment, annealing and plating. Products go through several drawing, forming, annealing, and other operations.

Right off the start you'll contribute to the facility transfer project, but the role's overall mission is to provide manufacturing engineering support for processes, products and machinery. Quick question for you - click here This will include troubleshooting and we'll look to you to develop solutions in-house more often than turning to off-the-shelf solutions. You also will ensure we comply with the client's specifications and our own quality standards. While we have well defined processes, we're always looking for ways to improve.

Who We Are

NI Industries, Inc. takes great pride in our experience and achievements. We have earned our position as a global market leader in part because of our ability to cover the entire metal forming process -- from the acquisition of raw materials to the design and fabrication of the final product. This gives us the flexibility and capacity to fully address the varied requirements of the munitions and commercial industry and form alloyed metals into the complex configurations needed to meet precise specifications in producing quality products.

We accomplish all this in state-of-the-art production facilities using advanced technological research, sophisticated numerically-controlled machinery and an unparalleled depth of metallurgical and manufacturing skill and knowledge. Yet, all the technology in the world is virtually useless unless the right people are behind it. And that is the real basis for NI's success: our people. We are privileged to employ superbly qualified engineers,  and production artisans who understand the field, excel in their talents and are committed to finding effective solutions for our clients.
