Job Description

Senior Progressive Die Tooling Designer & Technical Leader

Location : Germantown, WI (Onsite)

Compensation : $80,000–$120,000+

U.S. Citizenship Required (ITAR)

Gromax Precision is hiring a Senior Progressive Die Designer with the rare opportunity to step into technical leadership, join the senior management team, and position yourself for long-term equity and ownership participation.

We are a stable, 50-year family-owned tooling company preparing for several senior technical retirements. We are looking for the next technical leader who will shape the future of our engineering and tooling capabilities.

If you are an experienced progressive die designer who wants more influence, more variety, and a meaningful ownership track, this is a unique opportunity.

Why This Role Is a Rare Opportunity

  • Equity, stock options, and long-term ownership potential
  • Immediate role on the senior management team
  • Lead progressive die design and mentor others
  • Mix of design, quoting, customer interaction, and leadership
  • Extremely stable, low-turnover, high-craftsmanship culture
  • Succession opportunity as multiple senior experts retire in coming years

This role is ideal for someone who loves progressive dies but wants broader responsibility than pure CAD work.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the design of progressive stamping dies from concept through completion
  • Develop strip layouts, forming stations, sequencing, and die construction details
  • Collaborate closely with toolmakers during build, tryout, and troubleshooting
  • Support quoting with early design concepts and technical input
  • Join customer engineering calls to discuss feasibility and requirements
  • Mentor designers and improve engineering standards and processes
  • Participate in long-term engineering and leadership planning
  • Grow into Lead Designer, Engineering Manager, or Director of Engineering (depending on interest and capability)
  • What We’re Looking For

    Required

  • 8+ years of progressive stamping die design experience
  • Strong proficiency in SolidWorks
  • Ability to produce strip layouts and develop station sequencing
  • Mechanical creativity and strong problem-solving skills
  • U.S. Citizen (ITAR requirement)
  • Software Flexibility

    Experience in any of the following is welcome :

    3DQuickPress, Die Wizard, VISI Progress, TopSolid Progress, Siemens NX, CATIA.

    Experienced die designers can learn Logopress quickly.

    Preferred (Flexible)

  • Quoting or cost estimating experience
  • Tool / gage design experience
  • Toolroom or pressroom troubleshooting background
  • Customer-facing technical communication
  • Mentoring or leadership potential
  • 12-Month Success Snapshot

  • Lead the design of 6–12 progressive dies
  • Support quoting activities with technical insight
  • Build strong working relationships with toolroom, pressroom, and production teams
  • Participate in customer engineering discussions
  • Begin mentoring designers or support staff
  • Contribute to engineering standards and decision-making
  • Demonstrate alignment with long-term leadership and ownership track
  • Why Join Gromax Precision

  • Real equity and ownership pathway
  • Immediate senior management team involvement
  • Stable, 50-year family-owned company
  • Culture rooted in craftsmanship, integrity, and respect
  • Diverse work across aerospace, defense, medical, and electrical industries
  • Minimal bureaucracy and high autonomy
  • Long-term growth tied to upcoming retirements
  • Competitive compensation and relocation assistance available
  • How to Apply

    Apply directly through LinkedIn and include a brief note answering :
