Project Engineer

At Veza, speed is our craft. We solve the problems other companies say can't be solved fast enough — turning tough customer challenges into real, manufactured solutions. Our values — Velocity, Execution, Zealousness, and Accountability — aren't slogans, they're how we operate every day. We're looking for people who'd rather build something real than talk about building it.

Who We are Looking For

As the Project Engineer you will own customer projects from first concept through full production, working across the organization to turn new opportunities into successful launches. This role covers the full lifecycle — quoting and costing, design review, manufacturing readiness, and production support — ensuring every solution is technically sound, cost-effective, and built to manufacture cleanly.

You'll work closely with customers, Account Management, Engineering, Purchasing, and Production to solve technical problems, drive engineering changes, and keep projects hitting their milestones. Beyond project execution, you'll have real influence over product design, manufacturing methods, and continuous improvement across both new and existing products.

What You'll Do

Quoting & Proposals

• Partner with customers and Account Management to define scope, clarify technical requirements, and build competitive, technically sound proposals
• Develop accurate, profitable quotations that account for materials, labor, tooling, and manufacturing constraints
• Review customer designs and specs for manufacturability, completeness, and technical feasibility

Product & Process Development

• Build and maintain BOMs with Purchasing and cross-functional partners
• Define labor plans, process flows, tooling needs, and production methods
• Analyze production costs and assess the impact of design changes on cost, quality, and manufacturability
• Lead NPI activities to move new products smoothly from development into production
• Develop testing and validation methods to confirm product quality and process capability

Engineering Changes & Documentation

• Manage ECOs end-to-end — documentation, ERP updates, implementation, and cross-team communication
• Create and maintain clear work instructions, cut sheets, and manufacturing documentation
• Maintain accurate project records and ensure complete, on-time release packages

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner directly with Production to troubleshoot design, material, and process issues
• Provide hands-on technical expertise — wire and component sizing, drawing review, spec validation
• Work with suppliers, Purchasing, and Operations on material needs, capabilities, and timing
• Communicate proposals, recommendations, risks, and status clearly to customers and internal stakeholders

Continuous Improvement

• Drive initiatives that improve quality, boost efficiency, cut cost, and strengthen manufacturing performance
• Develop production timing estimates and support planning, scheduling, and execution through launch
