• Excellent communication skills.
• Personable demeanor with high energy.
• Degree in a relevant field.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with mechanical equipment and parts design.
• Ability to work independently and take initiative.

You will be part of a small engineering team consisting of one manager, two designers, and four engineers. The company fosters a family atmosphere and values personality and drive highly. The typical work schedule is 8-5, Monday to Friday, but travel may require flexibility.
