FROM THE VP OF ENGINEERING
Successful candidates would not only design product but also support the shop floor as the products are built. The role will also include supporting products in the field as issues arise. This will require developing knowledge not only of our products but how they are used as well. Finally, these roles will involve mentoring younger teammates. Our operation falls into a Low Volume/High Mix category. Because of the nature of the product, market, and customer base, successful candidates will be very “hands-on”, self-motivated, and engaged with product development as well as production. As a result, these positions do not lend themselves to remote work.
We are in a significant growth phase and addressing the challenges we are facing will be very rewarding to the right candidate.
We are looking for people that want to make a difference in a product and our organization. We need and want people who are motivated by that desire – someone wanting to see tangible results from their efforts, someone with a desire to grow with a product, a team, and an organization. That takes the right person putting boots on the ground.
