What You’ll Do
Join an engineering-driven manufacturer of thermal controls and circuit protection used in small motors, appliances, battery packs, and similar applications.

Preferred
A Day in This Role
You’ll start your day aligning with production and engineering on priorities, then move into hands-on problem solving—reviewing test data, refining a work instruction with a supervisor, or closing a corrective action. In the afternoon, you might join a sales call to vet a custom request, translate it into specs, and map the path from prototype through production. Expect a mix of desk work, shop-floor collaboration, and conversations with leaders who value practical, data-driven decisions.
