What We Do
Ajax CECO Erie Press (ACE) designs and builds OEM forging presses and heavy industrial machinery used across aerospace, automotive, hand tools, medical equipment, munitions, energy, and mining.

What You Will Do
- You will join an engineering team of a dozen engineers, ranging from early career through 30 years of experience, reporting directly to the Chief Engineer. The team owns controls from initial design through startup and field support on machines that ship into some of the most demanding industries in manufacturing. The product catalog is wide enough that no two projects look alike, so the learning curve never flattens out.
- If you have spent your career keeping one machine running, this role will feel different. You would be touching new designs, active field issues, and vendor decisions in the same week, across a product line that changes industry to industry.
