Summary
Marc Schaefer is a mechanical and project engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing and product sustaining, grounded in a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from NC State. He has progressed from field-level production and sales support at Reitz North America to leading plant-side mechanical responsibilities and MTO projects for Marley Engineered Products and currently LKC Engineering. Marc excels at translating 3D CAD designs (SolidWorks, DraftSight) into manufacturable parts, managing engineering change orders, and supporting NPI through testing, BOM structure, and production troubleshooting. He combines shop-floor humility—regularly stepping in to assemble, test, and ship products—with cross-functional leadership in meetings with managers and directors. Notably, he has international training experience from a Reitz headquarters visit in Germany and a background that spans both electrical motor systems and configurator-driven made-to-order workflows. Based in Southern Pines, NC, he brings pragmatic problem-solving and a knack for bridging design intent with scalable manufacturing.
