  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
  • \n

  • 3d printing experience is a plus
  • \n

    What We're Looking For

  • Someone who thrives in a hands-on role, not just on a computer.
  • \n

  • \n

  • An engineer who is eager to get involved with process improvements, troubleshooting, and project work to help the plant run smoothly and grow.
  • \n
