Engineering and product development for motorsports, defense, and automotive
Pratt Miller is a 200–500-person engineering services firm rooted in motorsports, now scaling across defense, automotive, and advanced vehicle platforms. The stack is dominated by CAD (NX, Creo, CATIA, SolidWorks) and simulation tools (MATLAB, Simulink, ANSYS, Modelica), with emerging adoption of ROS and Python—indicating a shift toward autonomous and electrified vehicle development. Active hiring across engineering (50 open roles) combined with projects in autonomous platforms, vehicle electrification, and hybrid architecture suggests the company is pivoting from pure custom engineering toward next-generation mobility platforms.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Engineer, Director of Finance, Program Director, Project Lead
Pratt Miller delivers engineering design, prototyping, fabrication, and testing services for automotive OEMs, defense contractors, and motorsports teams. The company operates from New Hudson, Michigan, with capabilities spanning aerodynamic development, virtual prototyping, tire modeling, gearbox design, and electrical architecture. Current project focus spans autonomous vehicle platforms, electric vehicle conversions, and DOD-contracted work. The team includes CAD specialists, simulation engineers, manufacturing technicians, and project leadership, with notable open roles for Chief Engineer, Program Director, and Director of Finance roles, reflecting growth in both technical depth and organizational structure.
Primary CAD platforms include NX, Creo, CATIA, and SolidWorks. Simulation is handled by MATLAB, Simulink, ANSYS, and Modelica. PLM systems are Windchill and Teamcenter. Python and ROS are also in use for scripting and autonomous systems work.
Active projects include autonomous vehicle platform development, prototype vehicle electrification, aerodynamic development, hybrid and electric architecture design, tire modeling, and gearbox transmission development. A US DOD contract is also in progress.
