Project Engineer

Build innovative machinery. Build hands-on experience. Build your career in Topeka.

HF Rubber Machinery has been engineering and building industry-leading rubber mixing machines in Topeka for more than 60 years. We're adding a Project Engineer to support our growing workload and help design, refine, and support the equipment our customers rely on around the world.

If you're a mechanically minded problem-solver who enjoys both design work and rolling up your sleeves on the shop floor, this is a role where you can grow, contribute, and work on meaningful, complex engineering projects from day one.

What You'll Do

• Support projects from concept through production, working closely with machinists, assemblers, technicians, and other engineers.
• Create, revise, and check engineering drawings using SolidWorks and AutoCAD.
• Troubleshoot design and manufacturing challenges and collaborate with production teams to resolve issues.
• Maintain accurate project documentation, including job files, engineering changes, and material information in the MRP system.
• Provide technical support for in-house work and subcontracted components.
• Participate in equipment evaluations, site visits, and customer support trips (approx. 5-10 trips per year; occasional international travel).
• Learn the full machine lifecycle-from design to manufacturing to assembly-and develop into a versatile engineering contributor.
