As the “afternoon shift”, your day will start later in the day (flexible, your choice of start time between 12pm to 3pm) to keep the spindles running longer.

This position will provide you with an opportunity to work with a multidisciplinary team of machinists, engineers, technicians, and designers to innovate new technology/product ideas and concepts from scratch, starting with conception and ideation and ending with working prototype or proof-of-concept. Your focus and challenge will be to enable their prototyping, design iterations, and testing by utilizing your expertise in precision machining to bring their designs to life.

The ideal candidate is dependable and adaptable, has a get-it-done attitude where no work is above or beneath you, and has a passion for supporting others and working collaboratively in a close-knit team.
