About The Position

If you’re early in your engineering career and want more than just one narrow role, this is your opportunity. At Prototek, our Associate Engineers rotate through Operations, Quality, and Commercial teams, gaining real-world experience across the full manufacturing lifecycle. You won’t just observe—you’ll contribute. From improving processes on the shop floor to helping develop winning customer proposals, you’ll see how engineering decisions impact the business every day. This is not a design-focused role—customers provide the part designs. Your work will focus on how these designs are manufactured, including process optimization, quality and production support. It's a strong fit if you're interested in hands-on manufacturing and problem solving across the production lifecycle.
