Machine Design Engineer
1. Is your current design job sucking the life out of you?
2. Do you have more to offer, but feel overlooked, underappreciated, or trapped with no advancement opportunities?
3. Do you dream of designing “Complete machines” rather than just parts of assemblies?
4. Do you have a desire to be part of something significant and fulfilling?
5. Have you developed a strong base of engineering design that you are ready to apply on a meaningful project?
6. Do you want to be part of a fast-moving, team-based company that is re-shaping a piece of the composites industry?
7. Do you watch “How its made” and YouTube videos of amazing and ingenious machines to relax?
If you answered yes to more than 4 of these questions, then you may be the Machine Design Engineer we are looking for to lead the design efforts for our new machine lines
Who We Are:
If you are reading this far then we will assume that you are looking for a chance to work for a company where you actually make a difference, so if you want to be a part of forming the future in the way composite materials and components are manufactured for Aerospace, Sustainable Energy, Lightweight Fuel-Efficient Automobiles and High-End Sporting Goods, then this might be the place for you.
