Nexteer Automotive Expands to Troy, Looks to Hire 50 Engineers

Nexteer Automotive, a Saginaw-based Tier 1 automotive supplier committed exclusively to wheel-to-wheel advanced steering and driveline systems, announced Wednesday it is expanding to Troy.

Nexteer is looking to hire 50 engineers to support the new 30,000-square-foot center in Troy, which will be open by April, according to a press release from the company.

"Following two record-breaking years for new customer contracts, this latest customer service center will support new electric power steering (EPS) work with Detroit-based automakers,” said Dennis Hoeg, vice president of engineering at Nexteer.

"This location allows us to better support our local and global customers with critical electrical and software engineering talent, which is crucial for the flawless execution of new product launches."

In addition to hiring engineers for core development at its operations in Saginaw, Nexteer is recruiting electrical, software, safety and mechanical engineers to fill 50 openings at its Troy customer service center, according to the press release. The center will allow Nexteer engineers to work on application engineering projects and to coordinate commodity strategies. The space includes a custom garage that will be used to provide technical support for ongoing customer programs.

“Technical direction will still be developed at our world headquarters in Saginaw, and the Troy facility will serve as an extension of this location, as do our other 14 customer service centers located around the globe,” Hoeg said.
