Job Type:

Full-time About Meyer Tool & Mfg., Inc.: At Meyer Tool, we don't just build parts—we build the impossible . For over 55 years, we've been a trusted partner to national laboratories (like Argonne and Fermilab), NASA, and leading universities and tech companies. We specialize in complex, one-of-a-kind or small-batch components for particle accelerators, cryogenics, vacuum systems, and pressure technologies. Our low-volume/high-mix, ASME Code-certified job shop delivers world-class fabrication under one roof, reducing risk and increasing innovation.

The Opportunity:

We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer / Project Manager to lead unique fabrication projects from proposal through delivery. This is not a desk job—you'll work side-by-side with skilled machinists, welders, and assembly teams to turn concepts into reality. If you're passionate about solving complex problems, managing high-impact technical projects, and bringing innovative technologies to life, this is your place.

What You'll Do:

Project Leadership Serve as the technical and project lead on high-value jobs ($1K
