About The Position

We are seeking a highly hands-on Tooling Engineer to support our electronic production and test operations. This is not a desk-only engineering role. We are looking for someone who thrives on the production floor, who has spent time rolling up their sleeves and directly fixing issues as they arise. The ideal candidate is a true problem-solver—someone who is relied upon daily to quickly diagnose and resolve both mechanical and electronic problems with production and test equipment. Our facility depends on this individual’s deep, practical understanding of how each piece of equipment functions, and their ability to keep operations running smoothly.

Requirements
