MEIII

Midé Technology, a Hutchinson Company, is a small, well-established engineering services and research & development firm that provides innovative solutions for a wide range of applications.

Our areas of focus include, but are not limited to, sensors and smart materials, mechatronics, low power electronic systems, renewable energy, automotive and electric vehicle technologies, and support of the .

DoD through our marine seals products and other advanced technologies. Our large variety of ongoing R&D projects help to enhance the technological offerings of our parent company, Hutchinson, as well as provide high-value products and services for our customers both commercially and for defense applications.

At Midé there is the opportunity to work on projects from conception to productization, giving exposure to the entire project cycle and allowing more ownership of various aspects of a project than would be possible at larger companies.

We combine small company agility and innovation with a large company’s stability, making Midé a great place to learn and a place that rewards people who possess a drive to innovate and succeed.
