What To Expect
A successful R&D Machinist will work with a cross-functional team of Engineers, Machinists, and other Technicians to measure components and subassemblies. As part of an R&D team, no two days will be the same. The candidate must be highly motivated to learn and grow, as there is a wide array of machine tools onsite that require experts to extract their full potential. The candidate must also remain flexible to accommodate shifting priorities and schedules. By joining this team, you will have the opportunity to use high quality equipment, and work with a team that consistently pushes the boundaries of manufacturing and engineering.
